looks like someone mentioned co_ass3 :p
I hate ns_altair with a passion. There is a pattern: all the new official maps are starting to suck. :blink:

You realize new maps have to compete with maps that have received years of playtesting.
Altair has quite a bit of potential, just needs to have (numerous) its problems fixed. A lot of cool elements there.
There's just too many open places where the marines can slaughter the aliens.[snapback]31053[/snapback]
Yes. It seems that every time I play I'm hiding from the rines, waiting for them to come to me. The only way I've ever seen an alien victory is when the rines are ambushed and the aliens rush MS before the rines have a chance to respawn. If anything, Sava is a lerk and skulk map.
For what it's worth, I've just seen a recent build of altair by KFDM and my main complaint about it: TOO BRIGHT! So it's really going through a lot of changes. He's definitely trying to fix up the lighting and make it as playable and enjoyable as possible. In fact, I don't think I can recall seeing a mapper this involved and active in improving their map.

Excellent, I'm really glad to hear that. Altair would die very quickly without a lot of attention... and I don't want to see that happen - every time I play on it, I'm like wow, this is some cool stuff in this map, I wonder what it'd be like to play a REAL game on it. :)
Props to KFDM!
Just look at CS.

Automatic shotgun ftw.
I kinda dislike altair, but it has its moments.
BTW: Eclipse featureless? What other map has electric walls? What other map has the easily best gestation crap? Comon!

It may have cool looking walls, but other than that it's mostly hallways, as compared to maps like Bast that actually has ship stuff in it.
However Eclipse is also one of the most playable maps.

Well, it has ship related stuff, its just that a lot isn't noticed.
For example: Eclipse is the command center. Computer core is the servers.
...though, I must agree, it needs personality. But notice, thats one of the things people disliked about bast- its "reality" screwed over balance(aka, you have double means you have feedwater).
Reality wise, I'd say Ayumi does the best job. It feels like a real place. And its blue, which is ALWAYS good. And not the stupid blue: The cool one :)
Based on aesthetics, I never really hated ns_altair all that much, and didn't mind the new bast (although it is worse than its predecessors). I hate them now because of their tendency to empty out the server. Not fun.

maps that empty server really kill my buzz :angry:
