Alcatraz

[MontyPilon]

I was just wondering what you thought about the map Alcatraz on the Jail Server. This is not to prove anything just out of curiosity.

My opinion is that the jail map design is good but the map does not offer the activities that other maps do. I do not find this map fun at all since every round all the Ts get shot down because somebody has planted the bomb. This usually leads to half of the server leaving. If I wanted a realistic jail experience I would just go to jail in real life. The jail server is supposed to be fun and exciting but I and many others feel that some of the recent maps have become dull and we feel that they have no creativity.

Please try to reply with a reason why you voted for that option.

El terrible. (Terrible)

Reason:

The map doesn't have horrible design per say it's just that it doesn't have any mini-games or anything to do.
Relying on people (wardens) to be creative is like relying on 2 year old babies to speak properly.
It does not happen.
At least with mini-games wardens can do something instead of being confused for the first 2 minutes and then the bomb get's planted anyways and another waste of time round begins.

I love it, but I don't think we need to do a specific poll on a map.

 

[MontyPilon]

I just wanted to know what other people thought on the map.

You know, if people are going to say terrible, they should at least state why.

I like most jail maps as long as they offer things to do (i.e Climb, Race, etc etc)

Ts get shot down because they don't help each other out. The big point of jailbreak maps are to promote rebelling. If you don't like getting shot because the bomb is planted every round, then rebel. Its easy to rebel every round as long as the team works together. Have your team call out where the window vents are or when they are planting the bomb. It's not the maps fault that some people don't know how to work together. It's also not the maps fault that the wardens do the same thing every round. There are plenty of things to do, it just requires a little imagination and planning. Even on a map that offers "activities," they're never done because some wardens don't know how to be creative and use whats on the map.

As we all are entitled to our opinions I do not think this thread will help the situation in the map. The map was made as enjoyment to the CS:S division. If you do not like the map posting in a thread will not help much to get what you want said. There is a tool called the drop box. Use it.

With that said, I do not think this map helps the ratings with our jail server. When this map comes on people leave and wait it out and with the constant bomb plants people also find this map annoying.

Drop Box. Use it.

rebel? what is rebel?

It has a soccer field.

That's it. It is challenging for CTs who are not very creative. I am in favor of changing the default map.

This is meant to be a rebelling map, it's similar to break_final. If you don't want to be bored you and your teammates should band together and plan escapes and attacks. It's a lot of fun!

I think if Rogue had time he could make a map of the different guns and rebel paths which would probably increase the popularity of the map and help out the newbies.

Yes that may be true but Rogue can take his time and make a map that people like. That being said, not everyone has to like it. Just the majority.

Theres plenty of people who like his current maps. As I have said before, it is not the map that makes itself fun, it is the people playing on it.
