WOW!

That place seemed like such a great place to train. I really hope that when we do boot camp we can use that place. I would love to see SCSwat doing training there.

It had so many great elements.

Who found the underwater passage?

It was pretty sweet, but it was a system hog

Everything went over real well with Amarah (except for the spawn point problems)
Everyone really seemed to like it. So for Power Hour Thursday, why don't we do amarah for an hour and try a few different gameplay types:
1. explore the map for 15 minutes
2. 15 minutes of regular play
3. 15 minutes of crazy play
4. your choice.. what are we doing thursday

Im sooo not missing out on this... but i work at 9pm PST! arggg

DUDE! IT WAS SUCH A SICK MAP! IT rocked all the way! Gotta put up a thread for the Amarah map DIscussions cuase man its such a HUGE, awesome map!

 

[SCSwat]

Yeah it's a great map with so much potential. The schemes for training on that map far surpasses any others I've seen. Good find.

 

[Dryft]

The only thing I would change is the floating targets. I think removing them alone would greatly improve the performance of the map.

Overall though it was pretty nifty!

 

[SCSwat]

Being that its obvious intent is as a training environment, I'd say that even though they consume resources, those moving targets are an asset not present on any other maps.
Those targets are quite usable as far as proper training of marksmen are concerned.

Ok so here is the update on that map.

JJbtch has as server set up. Talk to one of us and we can change the server to that map anytime.

Second, JJbtch is updating the map, correcting some textures and fixing the broken moving targets. He says it should be done in a week or two. Then he will put that updated one up on the server.

Anyone who wants training time or a tour of the server hit me or JJ up.

Also, just a reminder, anyone who is interested in this, should download the map and install it:

on the install, the default install location is incorrect.

its should be: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\yoursteamusername\insurgency

I would like to commence training on a server if you guys are willing to host, say, a 12 slotter.
That would be a good start to getting some of this info passed onto those that are interested.
We should get a vent discussion going to smooth out some of the edges of the training syllabus
I have in mind.

Hammer is gonna be gone for another hour he said. When he gets back, I think we should have a meeting. JJ is here, so is jarhead, and hammer, with myself and you, that should make for a good meeting.

 

[Captain Wes]

No need to have a meeting. As the Scrim/Events Captain, I want to keep all official eGO events and scrims on official eGO servers. I know it is taking a little time, but we will have an official weekly training event. At this point it may replace Idea Lab, since it appears to be redundant. Please just be patient. We should have everything worked out within the next week or so.

Thread closed - next event will have a new discussion.
