NEVER DENY SQUEEKLYS BUMPS!

ha, but seriously. I've quite a few friends who don't want to play online anymore just because they always played custom maps. If anything could be done about this would be most appreciated by many.

Custom map players why do they play they hardly get any respect

Don't you get bored of playing the same maps all the time? Specially these predictable maps from EA? Guess what? Some people get bored of these maps and they prefer to play other maps with their friends.

People call them noobs and usually from my experience most custom map players are not very good in 1v1 ranked. xD

The Kane's Wrath community gets more than a fair dosage of new maps by Predatore, which, thanks to the compiled nature of the 1.02+ mappacks, run perfectly on C&C:Online. They are well adapted to competitive play and don't have overpowering features like gigantic blue Tiberium fields or whatnot. Some even use rarely/never seen features in KW multiplayer maps, like rain, for instance (last seen in TW GDI campaign act 4).

Redzone players also

[mikemekemike]

Well obviously if you play the same map all the time your going be better at that map over others. That opinion works both ways; custom, or not custom, a lot of 'pro' players struggle on highly used custom maps. Most people who want to play custom played the original maps through and through over the years and are bored of them. A lot of customs maps are not overpowered, and in fact are just or better balanced than the originals. 

 

Having a feature to dramatically expand the users options is definitely a positive thing, whether particular users prefer the original maps is irrelevant. A lot of the community including map builders are missing out.

The majority of the cnc online users say they are rubbish that's why no one makes quality maps also no one plays original maps they. Play 1.02+

Why so intolerant ? In my opinion, only ranked is boring. But i like to play 1v1 unlimited blue maps vs you, if they work someday!

We will see who is the noob on that kind of map! xD

[AggressivePanda]

1v1 ranked on rdm factions and see who is a noob and we can have everyone watch then do blue then we see who is even noobier ^^ 

[Mathijs]

Hey Panda, how about toning down the aggressive part a little? No need to try and feel superior over others because they prefer different gameplay to you.

Hi All,

 

A lot of people haven't downloaded 1.02+, You can see in the lobby everyone either plays Tib Gardens FFA or Redzone Rampage. People wont join the 1.02+ maps of the same simply for the reason they haven't downloaded or some are apprehensive about downloads and others just don't understand in English unfortunately. I've tried to direct as many people as I can to download 1.02+, as it irons out a lot of bugs. So slowly people are coming around.

 

You must also try to understand that there are many different types of players in KW and they all enjoy a taste of something different. Most people do not want to become Pro+ players, understanding hit markers, how many harvs to make before next ref etc etc. They just want to play for fun!

 

You may or may not remember, but I certainly remember that in the old server days we used to have atleast 2 rooms of 4v4 rey gardens games ongoing and another 3 rooms of 3v3 tib gardens games. This was happening all at once!!

 

People used to fight and argue about who gets in and sometimes a lot of hard decisions had to be made about who to kick and who to let in. The point being, that the numbers should show you how many people are actually preferring to play a Pro game but not on Pro 1v1 maps or ranked maps.

 

Even the Pro's used to join us! Simply because they couldn't get a 1v1 game going or simply because they wanted something different.

 

I used to host Winter Horror map on Sundays and we used to have players like Nova, Trouble, Panic, Bonus, Nash and many others whose names I cant remember. Had a lot of fun on these. A lot of desyns too!

 

The above mentioned custom maps were the most popular of the rest I would say, due to the numbers it used to attract. I know we all had a lot of fun on these maps, as I've hosted over 100 games on these 3v3 and 4v4 maps. Mikemekemeke has also hosted many games on these maps.

 

So just remember that many players at the moment are pretty bored and wont join due to the non custom maps. It also doesn't help to have an elitist attitude and call everyone a noob, on the forums and in-game. I am proud to be in the game for 4 years+ and still be a noob as frankly, I don't see myself competing. But I respect the Pro's for their skills. Likewise, the noobs should be respected for buying and enjoying the game for what it is.

 

NB : To those who like to think, look at the two most played maps at the moment (Redzone/Tib FFA) and then compare the map types to the most played 3v3 and 4v4 rey gardens maps. You'll find people prefer an organised, 'my own section' approach to the game

Thanks Vejazzle ! I can´t say it better ! btw. i downloaded the 1.02+ maps and enjoy to watch the pros on stream or youtube but i still prefer the fun maps for myself !

 

Sorry Panda, if you missunderstand me ! I dont want to call you a noob, i just like to play a fun map vs you in a 1v1. But on ranked...i think, i am not good enough to mess with you but i can try. Add me the next time you see me and we play, if you want. Easy win for you .

 

On the old server i played a copple of matches vs Hidraulik on fun maps and it was real fun, even he wins a lot more than me, but thats not the point.

Its only for fun !

Don't worry, we know about the importance of custom maps (Revora is a modding community) and support will be added as soon as have time for it. It was supposed to be in there from the start, but some bug or other prevented it. If you look at RA3, you'll see custom maps are fully available there.

[s2nZo]

Well said Vejazzle, you took the time to explain it in large and argue

 

Don't worry bro, this is planned, this is writed somewhere on the forum, they told stats and co will be added. But actually, stability is more important than all the rest, it would be stupid to add custom map right now if you can't play correctly.

 

You don't tune a car wich have an injection gazoline problem to the huge v12 7.0L 850hp motor right? You repair and next when it's all good, you add the stuffs you wanted in like the nitro(do we really need it?^^), still right?

 

Without the nature of compiled 1.02+ map pack, we would be playing standard 1.02 version.. kw is lucky in these hard time.

The only thing community can do is spread people about 1.02+ and play the new predator 4v4 map wich is highly a better reworked version of reymama garden (that have been done on community demand)

[mikemekemike]

Vejazzle calling himself a noob, your better than some of the players above dude ^ !

 

But yeah map transfers fingers crossed, some guys were talking about a hosting a server for custom maps. O.o
