 This Friday, the 29th, will be the first weekly Friday Fun night. To mix things up a little on the server, we will be playing about an hour of Goldrush, an hour of Dusbowl, and then an hour of Badwater. Come one come all! |

Any chance we could get arena_badlands, arena_well, and arena_granary added into rotation at some time? I've been playing on AZ so much that I haven't even had a chance to try them yet  |

I'd recommend that you try them out on another server... There definitely are some people who like them (I think), but I personally find them to just be really really bad... Maybe I'll make a poll, or add them into the rotation for a week and see what feedback I get. EDIT: Okay people, tonight's the night! I'll actually be going out of town before it begins, so I'll be switching the maps via the remote console via my iPhone.  |

I might give dustrush and sentrybowl another try in a smaller atmosphere, but those maps are almost dead to me. Too many "24/7 INSTA RESPAWN GIB FEST!!!" servers destroyed my will to try and push another cart, or fight down that wretched hall in sentrybowl again. All I want now is to kill or be killed ;D |

Doesn't 8 vs. 8 count as a smaller atmosphere? I think that it's even a little bit on the empty side (but then again, I was raised on 24-player Dustbowl). And about Badwater... Well, I was out of town and just checking everything on my iPhone, but then I got out of cell range for a bit during Dustbowl, and when I got back in later I noticed it was back to the Arena configurations and on Ravine... I need to look into the settings more - Valve released some weird configuration options with the Arena update. Like, there's a file that automatically runs whenever a map starting with "arena_" is played... I'll try and have an automated, working config for next week. Other than the fact that Badwater didn't get played (  ), how'd it go? I noticed that it got pretty empty for the first half-hour (down to about two-thirds), but then it got back up to full. |
