I just got booted from a server, which will remain nameless, because after a many many minutes of a very sound thrashing of one team over another, I started thinking...

"Why? Why is this happening?"

And then as soon as I stepped from my spawn, an MG cut me down from BEHIND our final flag. This positioning was superb and the angle of the flag to the spawn was rediculous. I realized this could only be possible on a custom map.

I wonder if I am the only one frustrated by custom maps. I am not saying to never play on them or that some can't be good, but that the majority are either uneven or just very uncreative.

Well, sorry for the rant but aside from that I really am curious if I am alone in my dislike of customs.

P.S. Sorry to you developers! Prove me wrong!

i do find on a lot of customs that the spawns are poorly located and/or there are too many spawn exits right beside a flag, causing some unintentional spawn camping sometimes.. some customs are okay but others get annoying

The only custom I've played on Source is that willage map on TV1. It is definitely a spawn camper's map.

dod_anvil is one of the best customs I've ever played - it's a source map and it has a good mix of open and closed areas and the wondeful thing about it is that no area is safe because it always has at least 2 entrances, sometimes 3 or more.

willage is a very very small map thats why it seems like a spawn campers map... personally i would label it as an "all mayhem all the time" map... cause as soon as you come out of spawn someth'ns going on...

but yeah its a very small map was my point


as for others... i haven't really played any others i dont think
