Ive been playing on the aussie public servers and have been enjoying the surf maps. it can be very annoying but its also a lot of fun. the point of this is im curious as to why there are no surf maps on eGO?
 
They don't maintain being full.... Not only that, but from the previous road trips I have conducted, not too many people enjoy them... Who knows though. =\
 
they are fun but not very good server fillers,Maybe a surf event would be quite fun.
 
i think surf works much better with CSS personally

TF2 surf doesnt really do it for me
 
Because we'd all have this song stuck in our heads while playing?

I enjoy surf maps a lot.

But I have only once or twice been on an actual full surf server. Mostly its like about 5 people surfing, but its a lot of fun because they mostly arent total jerks ^^
 
Donnie,

It's an abomination spawned by the Counter Strike Source world, involving big, blocky, ugly maps and low gravity + high air acceleration settings to take advantage of the game's "bunnyhop" flaw and allow people to sort of fly around and attempt a series of jumps and other obstacles without falling.

I'm guessing we do not support any surf servers since not only is it mainly attractive to only 6 year old problem children and the maps are hideous, but the gameplay is individual rather than team-based and has even less to do with the original game than other mods like Jailbreak and such.

Some people think they're fun, I personally think they're a ridiculous waste of server space and am glad we do not promote it. :)

harsh. very harsh. i guess that answers my question. thanks guys
 
hehe, i just woke up and am feeling a bit overly-sarcastic and grumpy :)

i just dont care for silly mods like surf and jailbreak. its just my opinion, doesnt mean anyone else is wrong for liking them. not gonna sugar coat it though if i hate them.

the maps ARE hideous and lazy, and the game style DOES mainly attract little kids and, in my experience, trouble-makers and mic spammers. So, i hate surf.
 
Notice i stressed the word MAINLY with italics and bold text, so as not to imply ALL who surf fell into that category... Dur da dur, back at cha
 
its my opinion based on the experiences ive had. if yours is different, congrats. doesnt make either of us wrong
