    Feel free to voice your opinion. I know one of the new maps I tested, Geese Tower or whatever, wasn't liked. I never got any reasons for the hatred though. All I know was that everyone bitched about the map and an admin forced it away almost instantly.

    As for the second map I added, Kaboom, most of the server enjoyed it when we played it the first time.

    Edit: I'll be trying out Geese Tower again tonight and hopefully my game won't crash. If the map is hated, I want to know why. Exact reasons to hate it besides it being a new map.

    hey Geoff, as a long time and current arena exclusive player, I would like to voice my opinion on the 2 new maps. Currently Kaboom is kind of a "joke" map. Usually we vote for it to do stupid things like heavy boxing fights or scout pistol fights. The map itself is pretty bad because there is barley any cover and it is just not a great map for all classes. The map is mainly dominated by demo, heavy and rocket spam. As for geese tower it started off as a joke thing kind of like kaboom but now is a map that most of us enjoy. Personally I like geese tower because of its symmetry (jumping off gives it an added bonus to )

    overall I would say that the maps are ok, but wont be popular for very much longer. And by all means, if any other arena player here thinks differently of the new maps, please state your opinions.

    Wait, people enjoy Geese Tower now? wtf? Arena has some issues. =/

    Yes, the problem seems to be that even with new maps, the server tends to favor playing the same few maps throughout the day from what I am hearing. Kind of annoying. I'll be taking Kaboom off today, I'll keep Geese Tower because I have yet to play the map.

    Also, a thanks to Beesafree for giving me 10 new maps. Well, 8 new maps. I'll be trying them out over the course of the week and see how they are liked. If anything, I may be completely changing the maps in rotation, get people used to new things finally.

    I just played one of the new maps you added, I totally forget the name of it but it was the only one I think you recently added. It seemed the consensus of the whole server on this map was that it was a good map with a few problems such as size (a little bit to big) and frame-rate. When I normally play tf2 on very high my fps usually hovers around 55 fps. When playing this map it is around 40, I have no clue why, and it seemed I was not the only person with this problem. Overall a good map and I cant wait to see some more!

    Tossing in two new maps Beesa said the server will love. Let me point out that one of them, Backlot, is big in size. File size that is. I checked the map out, it's smaller than Granary probably, but for some reason the file size is just $#@!ing...huge.

    Anyway, Backlot and Schoolyard will be added within the next 30 minutes or so ($#@!ing Backlot, taking forever to upload). Hopefully the maps can be played relatively soon so i can get some feedback.

    All the maps listed are atleast decent, but I and a few other people have had problems with certain maps being more laggy than others (Custom maps of course) and I and many arena regulars would like it if you would take that in concideration before adding any new maps.

    Which maps? All custom ones or what? Also, from what I hear, that may just be Valve's problem, not map issues. But let me know.

    Alright, been busy with lots of things lately, but when I get home today, I'll be making an effort to talk to people. Anyone who constantly plays Arena, hopefully you see this today. I need to know what maps are causing any lag or if this was happening during that bad week or so where Valve $#@!ed things up. Anyway, I'll probably be changing the map list today, but if there are any that are causing lag, let me know. I'll also be trying to get on more, as I've been hearing Arena has been lacking my awesomeness. =D

    I've got some maps I want to test out over the next few days and see what maps are generally disliked. The OP has the current list of maps, but honestly I think it looks too big. I was considering making a topic just to find out which maps to get rid of or something, but I don't think many Arena folks come to the forums.

    The current list has been shortened a bit. I've heard that many of the custom maps were killing the server. I can't have that.

    I've also removed Watchtower. I wanted to in the past. $#@!, I wanted to remove that the second I became RM. But back then, sooo many people yelled at me not to. But from what I hear, no one likes it. People tolerate it, but if it was removed, only a few would be mad. So, it's gone. The server can be happy.

    4/29 - Looking at the map list, I'm leaving it at what I have for now. I'm wondering if we can get the map vote on the server. Payload has it, and I like it. Would really help out. I should probably make a topic for that.

    5/6 - Windmill and Cargo have been removed. Possible that I will add later, but being new maps they may just be killing the server.

    I don't know if this was a mistake or not, but you also removed Offblast. It was one of our 4 main maps, and we'd like it back. Also, backlot is a custom map and should probably be removed.
