    Mods set old maps on servers rather often for some fun. As far as them being in regular rotation, they were removed for a reason. If there's a map you'd like to see back in, submit a rework :smile:.

    I don't really buy that, because the old maps are just removed for the sake of removal. Don't you think it's strange that almost all maps are ninja-gameplay biased..?

    Old maps were removed because gameplay was significantly broken.

    Yeah, it really is strange that maps are removed when it makes an OP class completely broken...

    The playerbase was way higher during the days of the old maps, and people today still ask for them to be put in the rotation. People are thrilled when old maps are playable. Who cares they are soldier/archer/dwarf OP!? Never heard anyone complaining about it around 2012/2013... games were perfectly able, probable only 20% of games ended in a 0-0. And ofcourse, changing classes/maps a bit would do good, but what did the "CTF staff" instead? They made existing maps in a stone/wood/desert version and add more ghostcap maps instead. Smh...

    Fyi, I was talking about new maps 0, the current rotation. Castle wars is obviously broken. But why was it added? Well, because mod Saixos probably wanted a runescape-map replica in the rotation... (which is a stupid game and entirely different from minecraft CTF!)

    Castle Wars is actually much better with the improvements that the mods put in last spring. I.e the underground hallways, the flagroom. I doubt Saix wanted the map to be added because of that, and even if he did, what's the harm of it? It's still in rotation after a long time, so the majority must like it.

    And the reason that you never heard people complaining back in 2012/2013 was because no one was very experienced at CTF back then. No one really knew what they were doing, and there were generally a lot less complaints because of that. If those maps were brought back now, with the players that CTF has (ranging from new to very experienced, unlike back a few years ago when it was just players ranging from something like new to not very experienced). Playing an old map once for nostalgia is fine (very fun in fact), but much more than that and people will realize all that's wrong with the map and start to enjoy it much less.

    "The majority must like it" this is nothing more then an assumption. And most forum-loudmouths will agree with everything "well-respected" players, especially mods have to say. Sorry, but it's getting old. Castle Wars 1 is an exact replica of the RS castlewars minigame, yes that is wrong! It's technically advertising in the first place, and in the CTF gameplay that exact map would be broken. Now I do agree that the map got better by those changes, which you said correctly, are done by the mods, NOT SAIXOS! And still, it's unsuitable to have a flagroom right above the spawn.

    Experienced!? Really!? This is NOT a game with stats where you can be level 50 in engineer, level 64 in ninja and level 28 in assassin! Winter, I play CTF around 4 years now and the old maps were way much more fun then most stupid ghostcap-maps we have today. A small minority are experienced veterans and even half of them says they prefer old maps (by my experience!). Minecraft is a game without musts, so if a big majority likes something, I'd say apply it.

    Oh don't worry, I haven't been an active player throughout the years either. Yet, I still wipe the floor in pvp with some loudmouths around here who try to convince us that we would see the flaws in fun to play maps if we got as experienced as them.

    I'm really not sure what the problem is with most people agreeing with well respected players/mods. If they agree with someone, so be it... :confused: I don't see what the issue is with that. Even so, I've seen the well respected players agree with newer players that said something that they agree with. Not sure what you're getting at here... xD Also, Saixos was a Mod+ on MCPVP, and he probably didn't put that map without permission from other mods. There's several other maps in CTF that come from other games, but is that really a bad thing? I don't think so xD

    A lot of the old maps are ghostable, it's just that those maps were played before ghosting was invented, so no one used it... Trust me, I understand that old maps are fun. I've played this for nearly 3 years now, pretty much every day...
    I'm not really sure what you mean by "level 50 in engineer..." etc, because you can't level up different classes xD
    Just remember, your opinion of the maps is your opinion, and you can't really force them on people =/ If you really want to continue this discussion, PM me so we don't clog up the thread. Although what we're talking about is related to the topic of the thread, I don't think we should continue on in public like this.

    if i can say sth
    with that engineer lvl 50 thing he means that for example in role play games you gain experience and lvl up
    Right but not so many old maps are ghostmaps like today.
    Ninja is popular so u make more ghostmaps
    The nerf with the pearls is good but now I noticed that you still can ghoststeal what is also really anoying :/
    It would be cool if the comunity could also vote what maps should go in the rotation and what maps should be taken out (what maps should be taken out is now easy because you can vote after every round).
    good idea but maybe to much work for the programmers and mods
    maybe you can pm them your idea :smile:
    i really dont know what you want to say with gameplay broken ?

    thx for reading :smile:

    alt. Oh and so much for being 14 and just getting minecraft lolz

    Yea like @Miskey said, mods will come on sometimes and set a server to old maps. Not extremely often, but fairly. Yes, lots were taken down for a reason, but lots are still fun c:
