I wouldn't play the beta unless an admin was on and playing too so they could change the map when they hung. It sucks having 10 people on a server that just give up and go offline after a map crashes.
I understand and like the idea of a redirect but personally hate being redirected to anything and will ~/disconnect before it even has a chance to put me anywhere else.
The beta is a different game. Seems we will be playing it as the normal soon but it is a lot different than the current version. I like freeze tag and will play it but I do not like it as much as the old version. You must play this mod more carefully i.e. slowly. It is more similar to the original version of FT now. And don't think "you just don't like it because you suck at this mod", I have had great scores on the beta server already.
Ultimately I will play whatever is up there - as long as it is freeze tag.

i think most like chicago because they know they have 128 bones...no more no less...where as on the beta we have been reminded of our frailties and deformities enough times to damage self esteem......i got enough problems as it is without knowing that i have too many bones and such......

I second the above.
Reinstall your OS.
You are doing everything but that. Do a clean install of everything. Your are going to waste more time trying to find out what is corrupt than if you just wiped it all and started over.

I would like to see map mp_hidden_valley and map mp_simple_city not back to back. They are similar types of maps. Could you mix them in the lineup somewhere apart? Although if you forgot to put one back in...
 
I vote for the removal of mp_dead_lawn and mp_kob_breakout.(Teleporting graveyard place and the map with the stupid tunnels that never finishes before overtime)
 
I have actually grown fond of the crazy ass mp_heavensource. We've had some good battles on that map. I understand why people don't like it though.

Welcome [back] Roxy. Hope to freeze you again soon!

I agree Roxy, no panties.

I must disagree a little with you Mr. Hackeklaus. One of the reasons I was glad to finally get asked to join the clan was BECAUSE i got kicked a bunch to make room for members. I realize most of the time it is the lowest score of a non XI but with me it used to be... lol.
I realize many people get upset when the come back on and yell "WHY THE !#$#@ WAS I KICKED!!!" but after someone calmly tells them it was to make room for a XI member they generally understand. I've never seen (personally) anyone who was real mad at anyone after being kicked if someone told them why once they got back in. It is a good reason you would want to be a part of XI!

Happy birthday SOB

I was playing yesterday and the 'scrambled minimap' carried over to the next map we played... I haven't been on there since to see if my minimap was back yet. What was odd was that Pitbullpete was the person who had the original problem on a map (scrambled minimap opposite team from me). Then when we started on the next map, he and I and another person (sorry I forgot) all had the scrambled minimap right from the start of round 1. It never went away the entire map (2-5 or something like that final score). I quit after that map.
 
The mod seems similar to me. I seemed it was easier to kill everyone. One bullet from anything and you were dead or killed the other person.
 
Personally I don't like the fact the RC car can not jump now. I wish it could. I do really like the green trail behind a friendly one however.
 
One thing I would like to see is the return of the very powerful predator missle from the first version of COD4 MW2. The current version is weak and not worth using. I have not seen a predator in the beta yet. I hope the earn the kill streak so I can.

Ruthle$$, just to let you know, you were never kicked to make room for members. You were kicked because we don't like you.

"well like I said all comments are welcome good or bad doesn't matter to me, however your wrong about the center of the map, it sees more action than you think, and only playing it one time doesn't count for much from where I sit, try it a couple of times and see how you feel then"
You are absolutely right. I should play it more than once. I was just giving you a review on playing it once. If you would like and you have enough people – I will play it repeatedly.
 
"... and maybe as far as tactical aspects go, you should learn some yourself no offence btw"
None taken. My stats speak for themselves.
 
", the center of the map ROCKS! whomever controls the center pretty much wins the map. Now if you happen to be on a weak team thats just the game and thats the way it is, it never makes for an enjoyable game no matter the map..."
I respectfully disagree. My team controlled the edge and destroyed the other team. We then mopped up the people hiding in the center. We won the match 5 - 0. I was top of the team (after sooners left)."
 
"As far as tunnels are concerned thats a big NO GO, the valley drops down over 2 storys in height and would suck to try and do something like that, now if you would have taken some time to read the post before yours you would have seen that some changes have been made already which will relieve some of the sniper action."
I am trying to read the thread and comments about this map. I did not mean any disrespect here. I am sorry if my comments are out of line. It seems there are some hard feelings here.
 
"I did not intend on it being a snipers map and now that the sides have been changed that will change some of the game play, when I am done with it and send it back to Rugger then the changes I make will show up on the servers but not until then, the modder has requested some changes which will take me some time for the effects he wants, as far as the modder is concerned and now that I know Rugger will put the map or maps on all the servers I will be better prepared now that I know whats needed for certain games and game types.
As far as Ftag is concerned, thats what I play 99.9% of the time, I am seldom in Ace mod or even in mw2, point is, we have no problem utilizing the entire map when we play, as a matter of fact the people I play with head to the center right off the bat.
Its a hard map to play which makes for a fun game, maybe your trying to run to far at a single moment and not utilizing the buildings & boxes spread through the center, I have used them myself several times now and I have no problem going anywhere I want to go.
Hey who knows maybe you were just having a bad day, thats ok we all have them!"
Here is where some possible misunderstanding comes in. I am sorry if it comes off like I am trying to put down your map. That was not my intention. I was not angry at the map as you imply. As I said earlier, my team won 5 – 0.
 
"Oh yeah, there was only 2 maps released so which ever one you would have talked about I would have known which 1 you were referrring to."
I did. The top of my conversation starts with 'I was looking for this post yesterday but could not find it. You should have included hidden_valley in the title'.
 
"Just take a deep breath, count to 10 and go kill someone! Have a nice day"
I am sorry there was some misunderstanding here. I play COD 4 a lot – too much sometimes. I felt I make a good comment on a map. I have hundreds of maps memorized in my head. I appreciate anyone who works on maps. Thank you.

I was looking for this post yesterday but could not find it. You should have included hidden_valley in the title!
Reposting some of what I already wrote with additions:
Yes good job and thank you for the hard work of making a map.
I finally had a chance to play it yesterday on COD4 FT MW2 Chicago. I can't find the post you had yesterday about comments on the map so I'll post them here. Again I appreciate the work you must have put in this map.
It is a big sniper map. Which is fine.
I think the middle buildings are mostly useless. Most of the middle buildings were avoided except the one with the balcony's as all of the others had no other way out. Since you couldn't escape the houses by jumping out the window no one used them after round 2.
The middle of the map is not used much. Snipers have good angles looking downhill. There is no strategic advantage or point to try and go to the middle of the map downhill. You might get a couple of shots off if you are a sniper down there but for an attacker it is suicide. It will always be better to charge down the sides of the map instead.
Maybe if there were tunnels leading from the spawns to the middle it would encourage people to go there more and not all stay on the sides.
Everyone stayed to the sides of the map and snipers cleared the way for the run & gunners to run all the way down the side. It just seemed all the game play was on the sides and not much of the map was used. The few stragglers that didn't follow everyone else on the sides were quickly frozen and mostly stuck for the remainder of the round.
I suggest some tunnels or something (which I normally hate but I felt I had to suggest something). Something to make the middle of the map more used. It seemed like wasted space when we played.
These comments really only apply to Freeze Tag. I have not played it on another mod. Again thank you for making a map.
Suggestions:
Put one tunnel connecting the two spawn points with an opening in the middle of the map (in the houses). Short of a teleporter I can't think of another way to get the middle of the map to see more action. Sonovabich said during his game people were using the middle, but during mine no one did after round 2. We had a full server with strong snipers and run and gunners on. Snipers cleared everyone out of the middle and the run and gunners charged down the sides of the map each round.
Once again thank you for the hard work making the map.
