how come there aren't more fun shoot em up maps in dod? cs has stuff like he_dodgeball and ka_legoland. how come maps like that aren't made for dod? i would love a map where you go around picking up nades and blowing the other team to bits.

Well legoland is available for DOD. It was on TV7 for a little bit, may still be in rotation. People would come for a few minutes and leave. That type of map may work for a Ville event but I don't think it will work for normal rotation.

Yeah, you can d-load legoland for DOD in our files section.

BRN is right. Custom maps just do not do very well in regular rotation. As soon as a custom map comes up, you lose roughly 90% of the people on the server.

TV7 has fast map downloads so that isn't the problem. The problem is the majority on a whole don't want gimmick maps so it doesn't draw a crowd. Custom maps will usually attract a certain crowd. Once that crowd finds a server they like they usually stick to it.

ya. im running all custom maps. i didnt have much traffic before, so its not like im losing people. if you villuns want to come try some new maps (and there are some really good ones) just join on in, people come after a while.

Even though the downloads are faster, you still have to wait a few minutes and some people would rather just go to another server.

I tried playing just a few minutes ago but HL crashes after it dl's everything and it's precaching resources, I am getting the pack that was put together in the other thread and see how it will work.

one thing i would wanna see is a map like militia or assault for dod. there needs to be a map where you decimate the other sides hideout. too bad the ctf style doesn't really lend itself to that kind of map. there were some pretty good maps for firearms though that could work for dod.
