Add Baserace as a playable map ?

[DisColow]

It's been a while now since we added a new map on ND.

What about testing Baserace now ?

It's a popular map that can't be walljumped.

It's no really fun when there's only bots around but one can have a lot of fun when the server is loaded with players

So, I was first thinking about gathering members opinion and then letting the LT decide.

Would you want to add Baserace as a playable map ?

[Fenny]

Well its still a ND server, I agree with adding it if we only keep venice as other "download" map so that its not more than 2 maps.

But Baserace is surely not a bad idea

[Jar of Flies]

A good idea. Most people by this stage have the Baserace maps in their ET folders, so the number of people that have to download such files should be pretty low.

We should monitor server activity to see if it goes up or down for a little while though. Some people might not want to join the server if they see Baserace, or some people might really, really want Baserace. It's hard to tell.

I vote yes.

Also, can you repeat the question?

I've been looking at the topic to get more opinions from each side (Yes/No). But as far as i can see, people who voted no did not comment on the topic.

Can those who voted no can tell their reasons to everyone so it becomes a real debate whether we should add baserace or not?

Thanks.

I voted no simply because I don't like the map, I think it's boring and tedious. It's too open with poor visibility so bots can see you, but you can't see bots, and the objective is the same for the whole map with no variety - carry objectives from one side to the other across a uninteresting/ugly landscape for the whole map and have no chance of trying to stop other players because of the combination of double-jump/trick-jumping + adrenaline + medic packs (self-healing).

The only tactic to do well on this map is to just carry the objectives from one side to the other and try and ignore/avoid other players while self-healing and running away if someone attacks you. I don't find this any fun.

because of the combination of double-jump/trick-jumping + adrenaline + medic packs (self-healing).

That's why i voted no as well^^ it's almost impossible to stop a self-healing-running-jumping-rambo-medic-with objective-in-an-open-space-map xd.
And it's playable with real players only and can be very very boring with bots, But we have the vote system so I think we can give it a little try

[DisColow]

I didn't think about these issues

why didn't you tell me? :(

[roarrr]

Maybe a solution to not having a rambo medic double jumping around in an open space is to disable double jump for the map completely so it then narrows down the chances and it's more of a team map again.

I don't think I've ever played Baserace, is it on ND now?

[Outblast]

I know I'm late but...

I voted no simply because I don't like the map, I think it's boring and tedious.
