Mass Destruction...

Post by pooty »

In the interest of removing spammy OP maps, should this one get pulled until it can be toned a bit or is it ok?

I like this map. I'd be bummed to see it pulled. But I understand that too many maps are becoming like it. We can't have birthday cake for every meal. I personally don't like any version of HomeSweetHome so I wouldn't miss those... I'd way rather play Tyrant, Masterbath, Goliath etc... Or our classics.

I'm with YEAAAHHHHHHHH, I don't mind having this map in the roster, and like he said, too many like it is spoiling my appetite. MassD is relatively mild compared to HSH-Randomizer, and ever since the new HSH was added MassD never seems to get voted anymore.

Would maybe like to see the vents added to the original HSH at some point. Is it fairly easy to take Rhamp's version and just plop the original vehicle load out into it?

The issue I have with massD is that its too open and it just turns into a vehicle sniping fest or grab a skateboard and omfg/nuke nodes and is quite boring for me.

Yeah, it's very boring if you are actually playing ONS and going to nodes. I just grab a board and omfg/link nuke all day like rhamp. If our players went to nodes, they wouldn't like this map either. But if you play this game for 'vehicle DM' then it's perfect.

Depends how much changed, but its not too hard, mostly cut and place.

I wonder if changing the node layout would help? Make 1 and 2 middle nodes have to go through side nodes like an X. Even with that its still going to be just Vehicle DM for many.

You know, for all the shit HSHRandomizer got for being a spamfest, it was nowhere near as bad as this map. If you guys are going to force a tonedown on HSHRandomizer, at least remove this shit.

I agree even though I edited MassD big time.. at HSH Rando has seperation of rooms and isn't giant spam box -- which was kind of the intent with MassD anyway.

I think the Map itself is fine, but the vehicle loadout needs tweaked to be less OP and spammy.
As I said happy to yank it.

Map lists would help here. Put MassD in the 'spam' maplist. That way when 'spam' er 'community favorites' list is enabled for that week, I know to go play freon instead of hoping for a good map and being let down by our players again.
