Removing Dust2

[wihadmin]

We'll be removing Dust2 from the map cycle from both servers sometime this week. Since we have more than enough maps, Dust2 is now a pain b/c it only supports 25 players.

[ChobitzZ]

A pity :thumbsdown:.

[Prowler130]

Good Riddance

Fix your damned maps valve :flipoff:

[FiLTHY_SNiPER]

Great, there goes my favourite map...

[wihadmin]

The biggest problem with Dust2 is the player count. Instead of retaining players on the server, this map causes players who can't join a team to leave the server. Once Valve fix this problem, we'll be more than glad to put it back into rotation.

I can't believe that you are taking out D2 and NOT the worst map ever made for CS - Havana. I would rather put up with the player limit than that horrible map. Just poll it. Unless you are Bloomaster and want to poll something stupid like banning an entire clan, I guarantee you have guys who say to take out Havana over D2. I do, however, have a problem with the player limit. I wonder what is taking Valve so long.

Please do not take out Dust 2. Take out Havana or Tides. Dust 2 should not be removed from the rotation. Most people either stay or wait a bit for the map to end before coming back in.

[Prowler130]

perhaps shorten the time on dust2, if that is even possible?

[DF BashU]

Yea, I would love the idea of doing a poll if you want to remove a map, Dust2 rocks !!!! And many maps sux0rz :)

[jwolly2]

I'd also like to see Dust 2 stay, at least on the FF-on server. IMO, it's one of the best maps in rotation.

Yeah, the 25 player limit sucks, but I don't think it's a killer, given the amount of regulars that play here. I'm usually willing to wait in spec mode as Dust 2 finishes, or go play on the other server until the map changes.

As I've said before, I'd much rather see havana removed well before any of the other maps.

Just adding my "vote" to the issue.

[Vash]

I vote "Nay" against the removal of Dust2, and vote "Yay" in the removal of Havana.

[FozzyBear]

I'd like Dust2 to stay also. Especially on the FF server.

[z3speed4me]

yea i guess if they ever FIX that problem...you should put it back but who knows when that will be...

[GroovyDude]

IMO Dust2 is the best map on the server. Really sucks they limited it to 25. :thumbsdown:

[MajorPayne]

I say remove it! Well atleast untill valve fixes the problem, because countless times I have joined the server only to be stuck spectating till the game is over, that is time I could have spent playing on my favorite server :wallbash: .

[Vash]

But wouldn't you rather spec Dust2 then have to go through Havana as a CT?

[Vryllyn]

But I like Havana. :yaya:

I was thinking about a 24/7 Server of nothing but Havana... It might get 1 or 2 hits, max. :hehehe:

[APOC]

LOL you and your 24/7 Havanna, but back to the subject, Dust2 is fun and sometimes I use that map as a time to take a break, I just go spec and if I see an opening and feel like playing Ill jump in but its a nice break.

Hey, hold on a sec. Valve fixed that 2 updates ago. Dust 2 holds 45 players or somthing like that. I play servers with more then 25 players all the time. I always thouhgt it was just wih that wanted it to stay 25. I know it works with more than 25. Look into it please, Dust2 has always been my favorite map because it is the fairest map for both teams. No team has any destinct advantage.

[Vash]

Well I haven't seen that on any other server. Dust 2 always has unbalanced teams wherever I go. But it's still better than Havana.

IP address please? I'd like to check it out b/c I personally have never seen any server running more than 25 on Dust2 for Source.

[Kev Kanos]

Ranodm servers, I only have 3 in my favorites, wih pub
wih ff and rg server. I will find one and let ya know when i do

[FozzyBear]

Haven't found any servers yet.

But apparently if someone know how to make a server side mod of the map, it is just an issue of adding spawn points.

I don't know how to do this, or if it is even possible to make it so new people wouldn't have to download a "custom map"


here is link that has a couple pics of the spawns, in some kind of editor.
