I love the map Osaka. I think the unique buildings and rooftops make for a really fun map for all classes. Imagine MG's & sniper anti-rocket things in the nooks & crannies of those roofs, or, conversely, imagine airstrikes hailing down on them.
I know the Ville just integrated 2fort, so I'm assuming this isn't the time to be pressing for new maps. However, I wanted to strongly emphasize my support for Osaka being the "next-map-in-line" one might say. Though it's a custom map, I'm assuming most who 'kill @ the ville' are ardent TFC fans that can handle acquiring it.
Please pardon my being verbose.

Yeah I second that

Only thing is we had Osaka on the rotation (at least for a night or two) a while back, and it didnt seem to popular.

I would also like to see the return of Cornfield, another great attack and defend map (modeled after avanti). But that was also tried a long time ago and also didnt seem to be too popular.

well, Osaka is on TV4, just not in the map rotation. You guys can vote for it if you like or if there's an overwhelming response to this thread, I might include it in the rotation the next time. Just come prepared though and download the map prior.

Osaka looks pretty cool, maybe on some late night we could try it out.

I definitely support adding Osaka to one of the servers. If you are considering adding to the rotation on TV4, Munk, count my vote.

If there was anyway that the teams could switch roles after 1 team caps all command points, that would be cool. For some reason, the map does not do this by default. Otherwise, it's a very cool map. I have always supported adding this map to one of the servers rotation.

If you go to Pete's. Give Tink a hard time, she's an admin there and I hear she's a push over

Blown · Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2001 5:10 pm Post subject:

I play on Pete's ever now and again but the spambowl/avanti server. Usually has real nice pings for me. Some MG's on osaka could be interesting though

okay, maybe it wasn't an overwhelming response, but I've added Osaka to this week's mapcycle for something new! So TV4 will be running the following:

Avanti
Warpath
Epicenter
Osaka

Damn I didn't pick up on osaka being added until just now, and now I'm out of town (away from computer) till '02. I hope it will still be in rotation when I come back! (fingers crossed)

In case you guys are wondering if there's going to be another release of Osaka to work out that team switch issue after the last cap... the answer is unfortunately no.

I sent Zouave, the map designer of Osaka an email inquiring about it and here's his response...

Thanks. I really don't plan on re-releasing Osaka. I don't think I could
if I wanted to, lost the wad file I used one computer ago. So we're all
stuck with the map as it is.

Ah well, he did a great job with the map and I love it in the rotation munkeyeye! If you find me playing it, when the attackers get all the way, I will restart the map so that we can switch teams, thus giving everyone the opportunity to play it longer.

That is what we did last night. What was it? 3 times in a row! WOOHOO that was fun.

Thanks again for slipping that on into the rotation munkeyeye! Take care fellow TFCers and cya in osaka...
