One criticism that I have with most maps (CTF maps especially) is that there are not enough weapons to go around. On many maps (on a full server), I will spend 80% of my time shooting with the shotgun and looking for a weapon. If you are a map-designer, please consider adding more weapons to the map, not to mention health and armor also.

I guess what I'm suggesting is to design the map for a full server in mind (12-16 people).

Anyone else feel similarly?

I'd rather suggest to enable weapon stay on ctf servers...

the problem is that many of the maps are suitable for a low player count and there only a few maps for a higher player count and a problem that no one can fix are the player who collect everything and get killed

Weapon stay....interesting.

I might set that on Fusion and see how it does.
Thank you.

I think they did that in UT CTF...not to sure though.

LOLz, weapon stay is a MUST HAVE on all public teamplay oriented server.

Well without weapon stay there is still the chance that they might LEARN to think about picking up a gun. Either when they need some themself and someone 'steals' a gun right before them or from having angry team mates

doesn't nexuiz already do that on the pro mod? or am I loosing it?
you could just isolate the cvar responsible for that feature and enable it in server.cfg

maybe u can add the "Don't Camp" like in LMS but not for flag carrier..
e.g. facing is annoying to play

What is so annoying? That it can be easy to defend the flag if done right?

Facing is a fantastic map— my only problem with it is the ease with which a person can be sniped coming over the edge- a sniper squatting on the sides of the building can easily pick off attackers.

That's exactly the reason why I don't like it - and nicknamed it "sniper's paradise". BTW: not only attackers but also spawners...

I think without a nex it could be a great map.

I had the same problem on mentalspace doing a 1on1. My enemy had a good aim and used the nex to snipe me away directly after each spawn . my average life span was little more than a second....

I think the Nex is not a good idea for maps in which one has a free view from base to base.

The nex isn't the problem.

On publics it's the player size..normally 16 players...no wonder it seems impossible...in 5v5 it's totally different.
