Map removals

[wihadmin]

Due to popular demands, we made the following changes to the 2 CSS servers:

FF #1 - Remove Havana and Compound
FF #2 - Remove Compound

Enjoy!

:D :thumbsup: :hump: :) :rockon:

We're not worthy! We're not worthy!!

[Father Goose]

But I was JUST getting the hang of getting slaughtered in dark corners in Havana!

[Persephone]

oh that sucks those are my two favorite maps. oh well. :thumbsdown: Why did you remove compound from both servers though?

[fireballs]

I'm sad that those two went away. They are two of the more flavorful maps that CSS offers, and I'm sad to see them go.

While you're removing maps, I vote to remove de_dust. As it's boring as all heck and the most stacked map in pub play in Counterstrike (since you can't get half the T team to get out of their spawn).

that's my two cents. You guys have a great server.

estate ?

[Vash]

Oh thank thy merciful lord. The heathen maps of CS have been purged from the presence of the servers fair denizens. Rejoice! Rejoice I say!

[Xine]

Man, I liked compound.

[Anti-sinGuardian]

THX WIHADMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wibby]

Ah crap no more Havana? That sucks, well I hope you don't remove Tides that would just really blow goats.

[wihadmin]

I was sick of everyone bitching at me on TS, in PMs, in emails about Compounds. So I removed it. :) Actually, more of you guys want it gone than not.

Let's leave it out until after the new maps come out from Valve. Then I'll throw up a post to see if you want Compound back or not.

As for Dust, we're going to leave that one in the rotation.

[Persephone]

I love Estate. I wish one of the severs did have estate. im glad havana is still on one of the servers. Maybe you can put compound on one of them too because not everyone hates it and I do agree Dust is boring and over played. It was played way too much in 1.6.

[loopcycle]

yay for compound removal, just because its a freakin slideshow for me.

mixed feelings on havana, but in general, i find all maps with only 2 chokepoints unappealing.

[fireballs]

Ya, two chokepoints does make it sorta uncomfortable for the CT's at times. I liked it better when everything stayed open all the time in the old Havana.

Not like dust... *cough* two chokepoints *cough*

I like playing terrorist on majority of the maps and i am usually terrorist on compund but i have to say the times i did play CT we did just fine. It's about strategy and team work. smoking right side and rushing all the way up to the house always worked the few times i was ct.

[FiLTHY_SNiPER]

Good call guys, those 2 maps are garbage.

[Monochrome]

Good call guys, those 2 maps are garbage.

indeed. :thumbsup:

e.e; Blasphemy. The both of you.

I am actually a big fan of compound, even with the full weaponry. Oh well, I know you can't make everyone happy but it'd be nice to have it on one server at least. Although, I would not miss it if there were more maps in general. I think perhaps we should put in estate and, as someone else suggested, start testing some custom maps. KrackHouse servers have some that are really amazing. The Rat maps are out of control and I have found some others that I like such as Reflex and I think another called Twilight. Some have some neat quirks like not having an objective other than kill the other team and some of my favorites are the ones where you don;t buy guns at the beginning of the round, you have to pick preset ones up off the floor. The buy zone is in the middle and you have to fight to get to it... It can get pretty interesting.

YAY FOR ESTATE. I love that level its like the ONLY LEVEL you actually get to use a flash light on and you can shut off the power in the house and UGH its so awesome. I wouldnt miss compound too much either if there were some new maps to replace it.

I dont know about Reflex. So many people on the server and reflex just has that one little wall going up and down and I personally love reflex as well but I can just see it now. People getting spawn killed at the beginning of the round, EVERYONE SCOUTING, and in general just a lot of unhappy people. It's such a tiny map.

I really liked some of the custie maps filthy sniper found and I wish we could look into playing one of them. Some of them looked 100x cooler than original CS maps like that Columbian Drug Lord map and stuff. oh yeah. Giggity, giggity.

[dbodenheim]

Compound is my favorite map. Your lucky IM tied up in Guild Wars and Point of Existence or Id be hissing and spraying pee like a cornered squirrel. :P

[Tykwer]

i hated compound up untill about two days ago. so i never use scout and thus i suck with it, but i tried it for the entire round and was doing good...we even won two times in a row which even though that would be a bad team score on most maps it still made you feel really good. i mean there is something special about losing 9 rounds and then winning two in a row and shoving it in the face of those lame ts :flipoff:
sad to see it gone, like the idea of it being on at least one.
suggestion!!!! when de_port and de_inferno come out do the same thing you did with compound/train on tourny server? because tourny doesnt start till 14? and those maps come out....this week? if im wrong on those dates forget it.

Is there anyway to make havana where all 4 routes are open all the time cus that would make that map a whole lot more fair for cts if they could spring out of any ol' hole!!!!!!!!!!.

Like the dirty rats they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I kid, I kid.

[Vryllyn]

I never had many problems with Havana. The only times it sucks is when the courtyard is the only way for the CTs, because it turns into a "The Rock" situation.

Compound was just a poorly designed map. Bring back Vertigo, Estate/Mansion, Militia, and for the love of god bring back OilRig.

[kem$]

<3.. I grew to like Havana but Compound is blah!

[Goldragon]

i enjoyed both havana and compound, and i enjoyed playing on the underdog side (CT's *cough*) the most. They're not difficult maps if you know how to rush, and i certainly know how to rush.

Hehe, you also know how to hide up in the rafters and knife people, you sneaky bastid!

[Mr. Saigon]

For all the compound lovers: Did you only play T? CTs rarely won, and even if they did it will end up 9-1 in the T's favor. That map was an unbalanced piece of crap. Not to mention it was too small. The terrorists could snipe cts at the start of the round. The P.O.S. shed that the cts start in could be shot through. There were, what 4 ways to get in, and the terrorists could cover most of them from one spot. I'm glad it's gone. Good riddance.

We have no control over how the map behaves.

[Kev Kanos]

hurray for WIHadmin. It is about time they where cast into eternal darkness. I hated those maps with a passion.

[ResJudicata]

what are we going to replace them with???

[wihadmin]

Nothing for now, until the new maps come out.

[The Needle]

Would anyone be interested in playing a custom map made by a fellow WiH player? I am almost finished with my first 32 player map and have asked the WiH admin team to allow it to be tested on the tournament server for playability. Lobby the owners for me and we may get a new map played on WiH only. I will even throw a WiH logo onto the map and into the credits!

Hey, I'm begging here, lol. A map is a LOT of work and I would hate to have to try it out somewhere else :(.

Thanks,

Cool. just a thought. it would have made that map a whole lot better

[Phenix]

I vote for compound being removed but havana was fun :mgboxedin:

I would be all for a custom map. Espesally one made by some that playes here. I think that would be awsome.

[fireballs]

bring back compound and havana! No custom maps! No download times!

I've played a couple custom maps with really fast downloads, which wasn't that bad. I just can't stand sitting at my machine, waiting to play.

[kem$]

2 new source maps are out now.. woooot.

My update is taking ages though.. :thumbsdown:

[fireballs]

I wanna play inferno so bad.... :mp5:
