R/S: CS or default maps?
« on: March 18, 2007, 07:27:03 am »
Well, that "R/S Gaming." thread made me curious about your preferred choice when it comes to Realistic & Survival maps: CS (this includes DE) maps or default(ish) maps? Imo they are completly different regarding gameplay.

If you don't know about CS maps you should check out my CS mappack 5.0 and test them at for example Leo's R/S/A server:

I prefer CS/DE. I like spots where you can attack from behind, and on standard maps there is little places like this. Also most standard maps have to much jet fuel for R/S IMHO.

CS maps of course. Less open space and minimal jet. Alot of spots to hide at and the ability to suprise your enemies.

I haven't played any CS maps for months.  The R/S servers I usually go to removed all the CS maps from their maplists. :(

But it was fun playing them.

I really dislike CS and DE maps. It took away what I thought was Soldats best feature, it's flow and movement. If you notice on regular maps, you can alway run, jump, jet around, and never lose your speed. It seems the normal maps are made for you to move in. In CS maps, I always find myself stopping, turning around, and really having obstacles hampering my movement.

If you don't run out of jet fuel in R/S, you probably are sitting on the ground getting killed. I am always in the air searching for that HS, and 'worming' (proning and unproning quickly) to dodge bullets. I run out of jets lickety split.

i like the cs and de maps IFF i play r/s.
I don't like r/s anymore.
I like 4v4, 5v5 normal ctf's the most (especially on U13 wher ei haven't seen a single non-registered player)
6v6 is also OK

Cs/De maps are the best for me, thanks to that maps i still play soldat, otherwise i would get bored of this game...

Im the real fanatic of these maps, i made propably first R/S CS clan (you may say it doesn't make any sense, but i found some freaks bored of normal maps :P), i made also R/S CS server with the best (imo) cs/de maps [http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=11905.0].

Ava, i can even say i play soldat thanks to you  :D (btw, is your R/S CS server running?)

I would like to see more players playing that maps and more servers having it, maybe  in future there would be a special R/S CS Tournament (eh, dreams  ;))

Default! Most CS maps only have 2 ways to move through so there easy to protect and not enough jets. The jets is how i play, in the air trying to get a hs. On the ground iam just a sitting target ez to hit.

Think twice before you write some shit like this...

Try to imagine that running is not main purpose in R/S - especially in cs/de maps - playing

Hate such retarded "players" who calls other guys, who play something other, "noobs". That's pathetic...

Default.  While I love being able to duck and hide, being able to run around and maneuver is more important to me.  CS maps just seem like they're structured so you can only run a few feet at a time before either hitting a polygon or being blocked by a collider.

Fast, active gameplay beats waiting in a corner any day.  Especially since maps with flow and few places to hide force you to use more strategy than you ever would in a map that provides you with consistent cover.

Definitely default maps. I think the CS maps are fine and all, but I simply like the default ones better.
I do enjoy de_assault at times, though..

I enjoy CS maps especially because they DON'T have soldats usual rapid gameplay flow, it's more about using terrain advantages and holding important tunnel passages. so it's a bit more about tactics than usual R/S, allthough rushs at the start of a round are also very effective on most CS maps.

Ah.  That's what I like about this community -- we don't all play the same normal mode CTF on default maps instead of testing out different styles of play.

I agree, assuming you have a good team to back you up. Ain't much fun if you're the only one really going for it, while everyone just playes for their own gain.

Soldat is seriously a shitload of fun if you're able to do some real teamplaying. Unfortunately it's a rare deal.
