Requesting a community vote for Diamondsword!

[Aven]

DS is horrific for people who don't have cheat settings. You pretty much need the eyesight of a fucking eagle to see anything on it. At least thats what HU's hand says when its looking for his prick.

vote no, or just don't try at all on it.

i dont mind diamondsword , just think its not so much fun in alot of pugs ..its the same as orbital in that its a fun match map with 5 strong teamplayers .. but id be willing to see it played in pugs ..just hope people dont .captain .pickds every pug :/

If you can't pick a map in pugs, how can you prepare to play it in matches? No one practices with their team anymore. Very little pubs going on (and there are no pubs with maps like DS and Orb), so the only place you can actually practice a map and get used to it is in pugs. And from my experience, DS pugs rarely go into OT. And when they do, it is generally fun. I played a DS/HoG pug the other day and it was the most fun I have had in UT for quite some time. The people that dislike DS either have barely played it or have some preconceived notion that it is a bad map. They might use arguments like "oh, well i don't try in that map because it sucks." Maybe they should start trying in the map and give it a chance rather than being douchebag dumbasses. DiamondSword is a good, complex map. You can't spawn kill your way to a cap. There are no boost pads. It takes real smarts - flag running jukes - smart defense - intuition and prediction for defense - actual teamwork can benefit greatly, as in pre-positioned cover, boosting, jump boot control, timed pushups - all the features which a truly GOOD CTF map needs. DS isn't a one man operation. It is a team map, built for team play, which IS 5v5 iCTF.

-end of drunk rant-

I like your drunk posts better than your sober posts..

DS is a classic map, and should be played like a classic map. This means back shooting, chasing, etc. Doesn't go over too well - Orbital is the same way, as is Coret/Dreary/Scandi. With that being said, some of the players these days are not capable of doing such a thing.

I hate playing the bitch of a map, but it's a completely different pace and requires teamwork on both O and D. If you try to solo cap DS you deserve to get shot in the back on low beam from the top of the building..

[bbz]

I agree, and the part about it being a team map is correct. So many people want spawn kill maps because there is HARDLY any team work involved in pugs currently and everyone just fends for themselves. God forbid some people actually like boosting or more in depth strategy than just sitting mid with their mouse pointed at spawns to cap.

Also for HUMPTY's concern I don't see mass people picking DS just to screw pugs by playing mass d and making OT last forever, never been a problem before from when I've played, 5-10 mins max of OT. But anyway back to the main point, RE ADD THIS MAP THATS BEEN PLAYED FOR YEARS or at this rate we will only be playing Duku/Bleak with Sprinta tie breakers for the rest of our UT lives.

fuck DS shittymap. id rather deadpug then play dat shit tbh. After all pugs i see alot of whining/drama/crying about backshooting and mass defense :S ... can only imagine after a boring overtime on diamondsword. orbital is 10000x better and its still a "team map". loelz . fuck DS and fuckyall

[HuMPtY]

[Aven]

If you allow DS, you might as well expand the map list to other ones. I hate DS with a passion, just because its boring and its horrid vision wise. If it opens the door to other stuff, then so be it.

[Lineage]

[Aven]

would never be allowed tbh. auto win for whatever team daddy is on.
