Strong community reaction to certain maps it seems.  Flat out refusal to play certain maps is interesting.

From your view it wasn't trench.

You didnt see me and benben and 2 others spamming THE SHIT out of arrows.

There were things happening behind the scenes to make that comeback possible. ;)

Oh no, I was well aware of the arrows, which is why I put that "not just" addition in my post. There's really no way I could've missed them, considering that whatever those of us up front weren't killing ourselves was getting nuked by a series of arrows instead, which amused me greatly. Though I'd like to think that we allowed you guys to fire with impunity by running around in their faces. ;)

Extremity was put in as a one off because some people wanted to play it =)

Roger. Wouldn't mind seeing it become part of the regular rotation, just so I could actually play the map more and see why there's so much hate for it, heh.

Extremity is a "pro" map and not very newb friendly. Every dynamic changes on the map with the low grav AND drastic day night cycles.  At the same time it's a large map with many viable paths so it takes time to find each other as well.

I just hate extremity because I can't see shit, my mech is always melting from heat (hit brakes, arm falls off from heat), and you get stuck in a million different places if you don't have jumpjets  :-\

I love extremity... for 20 minutes, much longer and the fun wears off fast.

I sometimes ponder the idea of running my own server that only runs the underplayed maps like Clearcut, Frostbite,and Extremity.  There is only so much Sandblasted and Death Valley I can take. But I'm pretty sure It would always be empty.  :-[

Well, it seems to be fine tonight. Swell, even.

Started off at the end of an Extremity match, but it moved on to other maps afterward. Has Extremity become part of their regular rotation now? We actually had a match on Sandblasted that wasn't trench warfare. (Well, not just, I should say) Managed to stir things up with some brawlers, kept things pretty interesting, particularly the epic comeback. Thank you devs for conceiving the Thanatos D. ;D

Was indeed an epic match ;)

The Thunder Rift match before hand was interesting.  Stalemate for most of the game, until we had a large battle for E5 and F7.

I was just poking fun I hope you guys realize that.  Truth in jest, no I don't play on Extremity.  It is also no more a Pro map than Sandblasted....I was just venting and joking at the same time.  All in good fun and general comradeship.

I refuse to play on Inferno, but you guys already know that. :)

Always happy to see extremity though.

But in any case, not what the topic is about, played on your server today and it seemed far more stable than it was the other day, got several games in with no issues.

Hell I'm running a 24/7 community maps server and it's dead most of the time, a server with ^those as the rotation would be spectacularly useless.
