Idea Throw Back Thursday

These kind of threads got made multiple times with different dates, look at the other ones for peoples respones.. This is not a good idea @Spookelia_ most of the time answered this.

 

Please do not post ideas other people have posted.

 

@Spookelia_ how would that stop old maps being fun? I can't speak for all old map (particularly xxxxdead maps) fans, but I don't favour old maps for nostalgia's sake. Old maps felt more... strategic. Games actually last longer and wiping a defense out actually gave more sense of achievement. There was also more teamwork back then because it was needed on maps like waterfall. Todays maps are just so solo and ninja orientated, games last too short and capping gives no feeling of achievement. This is why I'm killwhoring all the time for those who wonder, because objective had become really boring. Don't shoot me, this is just my opinion on it, but I do think if nostalgia really were the trigger for fun on old maps, then complaint about new maps wouldn't have start so early in 2014

 

Totally agree, when their were less classes , the maps were based to help soldiers, heavy's, medics, and all the classic classes to get around easier and helped many players travel faster. Once ninja and elf came around, in my preference, the maps have been adjusted to help those kits to which I noticed the maps got larger because they travel across the maps faster and its worse for heavy's, medic's, etc. I do think that the old maps should come back not only to remember good times. But for the old classes to have use once again. Throw back Thursday is a good idea to, just hope that it works out to.

 

I like the idea of a little nostalgia trip, old maps for one day is reasonable enough. Of course, any new player would just assume that they are new maps

 

And also, at least half of the current CTFers are oldies.

 

I like it... I love the old maps and remember them making ctf even more fun than it is now... I wish they would set/play them more often

 

Give me an example of a broken map and provide what part is broken

 

wast sure what you meant by "broken"... Now I understand what you mean by that

I've been here since the beginning of 2014

 

You may have a point with the term broken, but there is no such thing as "unbalance" in CTF. Why? Because the maps are SYMMETRICAL! both teams will enjoy the map advantages. You also claim that most maps were unplayably broken; That is exaggerated, because this week we had some old maps by request and we finished all those games by 3 captures. The gameplay was enjoyable and better than the new maps and this is because all the classes are based on killwhoring! Not objective! All this nerfing will only result in a boring game with weak classes where the "professional gamers" will dominate with their ghostcap, strafing, jitterclicking and so on. I wonder why CTF was more popular 2-3 years ago..?

As for the maps you mentioned:
Castle: defense OP, requires teamwork. Fun in my opinion. Maybe if a free class like archer wasn't so OP, than that would be a major improvement regarding the climb.

Halo: capping wasn't impossible there, I remember me and some others planned group attacks on the flagroom. Mage and elf made it even easier to to assault there.

Unholy faith: I don't remember people headshotting the flagroom there and I played that map a lot. Is it that of a problem that people headshot each other at the middle? Those who want can easily pass by, by going through the ground.

Ghetty gardens: one of the reworks fixed that issue

Lighthouse: an underground flagroom is sooo soldier OP... -.-

Islands & sphinx: flagrooms definetly need a change yes (or nerf archer...).

Moria: I wouldn't call this map soldier OP, the problem with soldier here is the same on any other map. A soldier rework could fix a lot.

Waterfall: nerf soldier (or add a ladder to the top of the tower..)

Starlight: if this is the map with the orb of redstone & lapiz lazulli then granted

woodcastle arena: I never liked this map and I wouldn't really consider it an old map

Shattered rift: I agree that this map does need a change eventho I enjoy it.

Airballoons: ofcourse this map is awful when you want to play objective, but think! This is the map where everyone goes archer! People always ask everyone on this map not to cap, so everyone can enjoy headshotting. Consider this map an arena for archers (just like the map arena where the team with most kills win)
