ONS-DG-Fallout

Heres a new map that could get some quick games: ONS-DG-Fallout

 

Its a very small map set on a post apocalyptic island. Very pretty . The alternative node setups could also make the map more challenging. So give it a whirl!

I think you mean very large map

 

I DL'd this two days ago - still toying with throwing it up.

 

Nice touch in that when you call an air strike, air raid sirens go off for the duration.

Oops yeah I meant large map. So what do you think, would it make a good pub map? Is it worth a shot?

Considering - need to give it another kick though

 

Anyone else want to chime in?

Nice map; could be fun to play online. It's noticably assymetric, though I don't know how unbalanced it might be. It would be a big DL from redirect server, and I've noticed in past this tends to initially annoy players until most people have it in their cache so that there is minimal delay in joining. Expect some complaints at first, then.

How's about I flip this in for Urban then?

 

Might get Red Planet back into the mix as well

 

Sometime tonight

 

Also, off topic here but wth... Dropping two slots didn't help packet loss much - as expected - this is nothing server wise we can fix so... And yes, I did add in two more spec slots but specs do nothing really so... eh..

 

I'll kick Tom at Vipers and see what's what with the flip to new pipes

Fallout is a good map, but it's a server killer. Can we bring back Urban??

 

I believe dropping the two slots has helped with the lag issue. There's still lag but not as bad as before.

Huge download is a small nuisance but Fallout really suffers from node config. 3 connects to the core and 2 of them direct makes for ultra quick rounds.

 

Just took a look at node configs on the url above and they are better. Circular is a chokepoint & Linear looks like the best for some decent action. Flitter, if you feel like it giving it another shot, you may wanna flip that map back into rotation with the Linear config.
