Sun SPUG 10-12

No one was around to run the spug so lancer got me to, thats why there was no spug post before hand.

The maps are/were wickedx and badwater basin.  Those that say i forced wickedx on them because i'm admin, I've been planning to run the map for 3 weeks now, so shut it.  If anyone wants to comment on wickedx put em here.

Yep, you've been looking to run it for a while now. I really wanted to try it, at least it's on the servers now.

i think wickedx is a decent setup for a linear cp except for the multiple people on the cap points part. i admit i'm not as experienced as a lot of people here but it seems to me that a lot of the time last caps on other maps happen with 1 or 2 people on it, having to get 3 people in their basement to get a cap basically means you're spawn camping/rolling the other team. 

WickedX was the map I wanted to play, looks really good, but unfortunately couldnt make that . Didnt really enjoy Badwater Basin as a spug map though.

yea twp people on 2nd is good but 3 for the finnal point is just two much.
Even with a uber the fact that their spawing right into the firefight make the cap really just to hard

Yea, theres cases where the capture system i have messes up.  With a 30% chance to fail its really really hard to test it by myself.  CP 2/4 seem to be fine, but the last points need to be worked on.  Also theres a 20 seconds respawn time when attacking the last point for the defending team.  The idea is to create a conflict at every point, you need half of your team to survive to cap the point.  It seems like a reasonable goal. 

The one thing i've noticed is that no one ever flanked from behind with the water route.  A kritz or uber back there and theres no where to run to when you have spawn covered.  A well placed uber will kill at least two people if not more when pressuring from both sides.

Its a hard map, i know but people have shown that it can be won.  I refuse to make the map easier just for the average joe that can't figure this out or doesnt want to use teamwork.  This map forces it.

The great part is that it's still in beta. You seem to to be aware of where revisions can be made, so definitley bring it to the table again in another spug, and I'd love to give it a try. Sadly, I overslept to play this morning.

I'm all in favour of new maps being brought to try at spugs. Regardless of hw much compaining there is, I think it is a better alternative to playing Well and Badlands 4 times a weekend.

As one of the SPUG runners, he has been asking for a while.
I had to flat out deny him one week because I already had maps picked and the other week I was just too busy to see that he messaged me.
I Just didnt have access to FTP his map on the servers until friday, so it's nice that it had its place in the sun

Yeah, I've been planning on putting WickedX back in for awhile now, just been to busy to take care of that stuff lately. So I told Chro it was fine for him to put it in this Sunday. Do not fear that we'll play WickedX or one of Chro's other maps every time he admins. This will not be the case.
 Big thank you to Chro for stepping up and running the spug. Much appreciated man.

Is there any SourceTV-recording of this spug? If it is, is there some way for me to get it?
