Bah, now that me and noize finaly got our nuggets together and produced an awesome, pretty balanced and inoative (no rush to the middle!! :O) map, no one seems to want to play it :/

I mean, look all the features that it brings! instead of starting on the oposing sides of the map, you start on the SAME. And expand neigbor to negibor wise, build outposts in your enemys territory and stuff like that. And uh.... umm... well thats about it, but this change brings sevral new tatics and strategies into play! This map requiers you to (*gasp*) Get to know it, and explore the vast deapth and stuff like that.

Anyone up for a game on this map? I'm GMT+1, so right now when i'm posting this, i should be in bed.

map is quite nice, good difference to the usual hold-the-line trenchwar style.
/join #1v1

I really like the idea of that map. But atm my teammate is all emo about playing 1v1s.

I've had fun playing this map. It's one of the only ones that isn't macromanaged-expansion hell, metal, nor a chokepoint map. I'd love to see more maps that could fit that category.

And just so you know, I like it. But seeing as I cant host I dont get much choice in games I play...

I played blackstar with KAI, it was quite entertaining. A bit small for E&E but meh, I liked it.

Usually takes a few weeks after release before a map reaches its peak popularity, and then begins to slowly decline.

aGorm, just one thing. The metal is so low you could puke. (well maybe not, that would be a waste of metal) Seriously. 1.5-2 times the starting metal owuld be good.

Im right against you on that... I've had to many comlaints about "To Much Metal", You just have to be good at it. ANd expand and hold the outer spots. After all... its a small map realy.

Think Im going off topic soz Kixxe
