The reasons why I miss Avanti

Albino Gibbon · Posted: Thu Oct 10, 2002 12:08 pm Post subject: The reasons why I miss Avanti

Even though it is back on rotation on 2 (thanks Warhammer) I miss playing that map more often..............why?

1. Tightness of the map
2. Intensity of battle
3. Have to personally play O and D to achieve victory
4. Less hiding spots for snipers
5. When snipers run, you can catch them.
6. Good pipe jump areas
7. Reason why I stayed at the Ville when I first found it
8. All classes are effective in their own way on this map
9. Those crazy concing medics and scouts have a tougher time getting through

10. Many detpack areas

Had a good match last night with Robert/Torak/Si|ent/Disgruntled and a host of others. Who was playing under aliases, I am not sure. Smaller maps is where it is enjoyable. Acropolis is becoming a favorite of mine, along with mulch_trench. I am a practicing medic and those two have helped me out alot. The only larger map I enjoy is Warpath. The conc map of the century. White ground halos galore. Even though it is a larger map, it usually doesn't turn into a stalemate like Badlands or Rock2 can get to be.

I can't understand why many people hate the map or want it changed when it starts. Could be burnout I guess or you can't really play league style on it. League style is pretty fun at times, but the league players still need to understand it is still a pub server. Most of them do. I look at Avanti as the premiere pub map.

o yeah avanti.. i had some amazin games on that map. really intense games.. but also fun at tha same time.

and warpath i think is similar, sort of, i know its alot bigger open areas n such. but you find that the action is concentrated around one or two cp's and the games on there can get just as intense. i like both avanti and war path. there really great maps imo.

n i love acrop.

Actually Bino there is an Attack/Defend TFL league that plays only Avanti-ish maps. So it's not all CTF.

I missed Avanti to an extent but I'm much happier seeing it in a rotation rather than being run 24/7. It's a fun map but I get burned out on it just as quickly as any other map.

Mulch_Trench is fantastic. I think the Ville should give Red Giant a try. It's VERY large and very open and works well on public servers. Although the sniper limit should definetly be 1... if you played it you'd understand.

Avanti is absolutely my favorite map!!! I am interested in this new one I saw mentioned in a previous thread that is remiscent of Avanti (Palmero or something like that). I think I will have to download it and take a look at it.

In the meantime:

AVANTI RULES!!!!

I like playing scout on that map...
1. You're faster than a tracking, laggy SG.
2. Concing into CP 1-3.
3. See #2
4. See #2
5. See #2
6. See #5
7. Small enough to run around HW in a hall
8. Noone expects you to do anything
9. Caltrops....
10. NO DETPACK FOR YOU!

TV1 was great. Only avanti. The people playing were what made it so great though.

I enjoy Avanti because of the view to be had when flying through the air after rocket-jumping or being rocket launched into the stratosphere. I must have a bunch of frequent flyer miles based on past flights.
