Italy

[Heisenberg 99.1]

Italy is fun but would get very boring.

Whats this?? I now demand a "de_train" map vote!

I love you so much for saying this, my good Malaysian friend. TRAIN IS AWSUM!

 

[RedBagel]

Italy is a great map, one of my favorites infact (cs_747 is of course the best map)
but italy has the problem of being too T friendly causing ct's to quit and then autobalance puts t's over, who then quit, and so on.
That being said, personally i enjoy playing on the ct team for the map, its always fun to TMP rush the apartments.

The problem with stock map servers is just that, they're stock maps.

There are so many out there, there is not much incentive for people to stick to the eGO one and become regulars.

Jail and Highschool are relatively more successful because they're somewhat unique maps and have a bunch of regulars. Dust2 is full just because it's such a popular stock map.

^this exactly

I would love to have night fever back!!!!

italy is a very, VERY one sided map IMO. its just way too easy to face pwn on T side leaving the CTs to flee the server. then everybody leaves and nobody plays.
not that its a bad map, its one of my favourites...however it causes balance issues which then causes server population issues

Italy is where I discovered eGO and one of the main reasons I joined eGO.

If leadership has decided that the last attempt at it was a failure, so be it. From personal experience and many hours/kills logged on the Italy server though, I didn't see that. Aside from the wee hours in the morning, it almost always had a core of at least 10-14 players on it.

As to being heavily biased towards the T team, I disagree. It was one of those maps where you just had to figure out and actually use some strategy to do well as a CT instead of rushing headlong towards the enemy. It is no worse than Office as far as being biased for sure.

I managed to do pretty well as a CT on Italy and I'm a fairly average player skill-wise.

 

[Soul_of_a_Sinner]

why bring it back if it has failed so many times before? I dont like italy much and would play on it. I think the same goes for most pubs and members

 

[DeadAimGunCon]

I remember the countless hours i spent in Italy with my brother and friends... i miss that map. Good times, but good times die out too. And besides, everybody else is right. Unfortunately Italy was always empty, just like zombie mod. I was also one of the only ones trying to keep zmod alive, but i eventually gave up, resulting in both servers to be changed or taken off.

So what I'm saying is, whatever works for me....just DON'T bring back Inferno

I met alot of good people in italy and i still love playing on italy servers but its not the same D:

Very true. T's camp the hostages on Office just as much, if not more than Italy. If Awps were enabled, it would be even harder for CT's though.

And thus is why I believe Nightfever should be brought back. But that's just my personal opinion.

Apparently Dust 1 has the pub base necessary >.> Pssh.

You recruited me on Dust didn't you wind? It gets pubs As for Italy, eh I am not a huge fan. I agree with Decade, we need a train server.

 

[Mr. Boe Jangles]

FOUR REASONS:
1. The only regulars on italy were Acid Rage, Imdead, andrew c and I...
All others were just on occasionally
And oh yea that statement ^ was an exaggeration lol

2. Acid Rage and I on the same team, automatically meant a team stack...

3. Italy was where I learned how to scout.


4. And another thing, Iv posted this exact thread year ago, when that happened...
I was very upset to see it go, it wasnt fair.. lol
"Fail Servers Fail"

Italy was my original love of eGO.....
And it will always be in my heart.

 

[Shadow19]

Anyone else notice that the new servers aren't very popular regardless of the map? Zombie mod died, changed to assault and got no traffic, changed to nightfever and got no traffic, changed to dust1 and it at least has some people, more than the others did. Moral of the story: new maps/servers don't work, that is, regular stock maps. I can't speak for how gun games or deathmatch or what have you would work, but nor do I care to.

Three times wasn't the charm.

Why would the fourth be?

No.

 

[kilroyy-]

I dont mind, its the leaderships decision

 

[[R]eMix]

Whats this?? I now demand a "de_train" map vote!

A map rotation server with a few select maps like train, italy, inferno, westwood (best map of all time) with a rockthevote option would be sweet

 

[xShuriken]

I liked Italy, but I have no trouble just playing it somewhere else. I haven't really played any Source game since I turned in my O, so I don't really mind going somewhere else for the map. The server wasn't that successful anyway.

 

[RPD Leon S. Kennedy]

Lolz I dun care if we get Italy or not since I no life on Jail xp lolz
