Dust / Office server

[gruta]

Dust 4 got me nervous... i love it but allways get hit by barrels and stuck, that is terrible... about maps... more and more is better, sometimes i get sick of playing the same maps and 3x3 just.
About INS maps, they are really for team play, and thats how i think you play INS...
put all maps u mentioned

can i be as bold as to say that our server was ranked higher when dust2 was in the rotation? also i still dont know what the point is of old B cap point since all the new cap points are located on the opposite side of the map!?

Maybe have the Dust/Office server be switched to "rotating" with a custom map or two added in, maybe *DOT* (Dust2/Dust2Unlimited, Office, and Trenches) Just ideas at the moment because the loading factor for most of the custom maps is a bit outrageous. I don't know of anyone really that can edit the map to where it down loads faster or edit the map so that is has a mini map, but I know Blue Falcon is working on his map and people were interested in helping. Dust2 is a popular map and all, but I think that maybe just maybe if we get a "new" map on there it might pop back up into the 2nd GSR again. Here is a list of some custom maps I got from APR, I need to find some screen shots of them also...

**Some of these maps are ridiculously huge and wont be fun for pubs or members. Downloading some of these would also suck, I was on my friends computer at the time and was wanting to play, I believe helmand. The download took so long that I just quit, my point being that with some possible editing we could decrease the time? Remember these at just ideas atm. :thumbup: :biggrin:

I want the old dust2 back

I want the old dust2 back

I wouldn't mind having it back also, but I do like Dust2 Unlimited and how it is a slower pace than playing on just Dust2. When either of the Dust2 maps are up the game play tends to drift towards "team death match" I don't mind that, but INS is mostly about capturing objectives more so than a death match.

Office in general is getting a bit lame... I don't personally know what the pubs think, but when the Dust/Office server is playing an Office map the population always seems really low. (lower than when Dust2 is playing) I would like everyone if they are disliking the Office or Dust map, to please if or when your on there ask some pubs opinions of the server setup. I asked a few pubs about 3 days ago about what they thought of the Dust/Office server and I got some good opinions on maybe how to improve the server. I actually used one of their ideas in a post of mine. The pub made a suggestion to me about the possibility of adding some custom maps onto the Dust/Office server and taking Office off or just have it in the rotation. Anyways getting off topic, if your in the Dust2/Office server just throw out a quick, "How do you think of eGO's Dust2/Office server?" or "Do you think there needs to be maybe a change or two?" Something small that wont disrupt game play, but still get your question across. Just an idea...
Thanks for reading,

I personally loved dust_2. I was shocked and alarmed when they took away 24-7.

 

[sgtkillroy]

Dust 2 / Dust 4 / Office 5 i think we should do that those are my favorits

 

[labowsky]

i think it should just be dust 2

 

[PIMP DADDY SMURF]

Dust 2 / Dust 4 / Office 5 i think we should do that those are my favorits

Really you liked Office 5? Ewwie... LOL
Well first of all whenever we had those maps up, just Dust4 and Office5 our ratings as well, the population of the server went down. Now that we have just Dust2 up its been steady with people, all we need is to spunk the BAR and BAS servers up.

 

[Ratfire]

The server is once again on a Dust2 only rotation.

It's a pretty good indicator as to the popularity of this map that the server has already gone from 7th back to 4th place.

 

[PIMP DADDY SMURF]

Yeah exactly, once we try out some custom servers there is also a possibility that a few could end up on the Dust2 server... maybe.

Can anyone provide me a direct link to the map with the IMC file included? It's not downloading correctly for me.

 

[PIMP DADDY SMURF]

This is a website that will have numerous maps that you can download. They are mostly all custom, but Dust2 should be in there. I haven't found it yet, so sorry that I could not be anymore help to you.

Send a PM to PDX_Capy. He should have the map and IMC2 file.

Any maps you guys want to try out, let Capy know. Create a list and include the download link. I'll get them uploaded onto the scrim server and you guys can go try them out.

Hammer, what I meant by that was whenever we were looking for shooting range type maps, along with Cosmo you had mentioned something about how if you were to hit the target a light would light up indicating whether the hit was a vital hit or not.

Personally I prefer Dust 2/unlimited, the newer Dust is (imho) cluttered, too big, and really not suited for smaller amounts of players. Dust 2 may not look as pretty, but it plays way better. As for office, again, the older version of Office worked better than the new one. But thats just my opinion :-D

 

[1337karateka]

Yea I agree, the server pop has been waaaay up as have just the number of members on the server.
