What happened to...?
What happened to all the fancy maps that one could find on various servers about a year ago...?
I checked out sof2files.com the other day and saw that there are lots of other maps that i'd had never seen before some of which seemed pretty interesting. Why do most servers run the same old ..same old stuff ?  I currently have around 20 different maps on my computer yet only seem to use between 5 and 10 at the most... I mean i don't mind the current maps but it would be nice to be able to camp behind a different plant without having to remove the cobwebs first every now and again... :P

 I have over 50 maps installed... they only get played at LANs.

Some or most custom maps are badly designed and not thoroughly tested, some of the maps are one sided for CTF, boosting for one side or the other, and campers/snipers galore.
They are fun for several weeks, until people start finding out map glitches etc

I have an OSP server set up a my place with kustom maps etc but anymore than 6 people lags it out (LANing is fine but not internet). I've looked around but NO ONE in Australia can even offer a decent connection
 It disturbs me how backward this country is with technology. International standards say that Australia doesn't even have Broadband!!! We have fast narrow band.

Hence most people log off when col1 comes on a CTF server :P
You can call me strange, but I like all the jungle maps (col1 and col2) and the random generated maps (especially jungle maps). You need to learn the maps quickly in RGM, and campers dont normally find their spots until late in the round. Col1 is a good map for Inf, and it got me hooked onto SOF2 at the beginning. The jungle missions in the SP were pretty good too, but since then Vietcong has done a better job at re-creating the jungle atmosphere. Col1 isnt too bad comparing to Plant72 which is the most one-sided map I have ever seen. Vok is designed for sniping and Bajo is pissing me off too. Ned, try dropping the server rate sv_maxRate to 8000 (or lower), I tried it with JK2 and I managed to host 6-8 people on my cable connection. Let me know if you need people to test your connection.
