Make inferno north v south
« on: July 01, 2010, 06:05:40 PM »
So after playing inferno many times, its made me really bored.

All anyone does on inferno is skirmish in the top left corner of the map, with the rest of the majority of the map going unplayed. This continues unless something amazing happens, making for a very boring experiance as people constantly fight for the same hilly, bit of ground.

So i was thinking, wouldnt it be easier to simply make the map north v south? This would create greater distance between bases, and also be an easy change for the mapper, ensuring that it could be quickly patched.

I would like to know your opinions on this matter, because for me, inferno is my least favourite map, for doing anything other than going on foot in battlearmour with HAARP.

New idea- would I be able to use an external hard drive to add RAM and/or improve gigahertz?

I really do like the idea, inferno is a great map, especially in the midfield there is much cover which can be used for some epic battles!
it doesn't happen very often, but it's always awesome if it does...

problem is that the upper two bases are to close to each other and above the hill is the shortest route

I absolutely love the idea!
it would be great to have the whole map as combatarea...

+1 For Truth, +1 For Good a idea, +1 For someone else being sick of ignoring 90% of a otherwise excellent map.

The curious thing about the whole deal is that for a while, after the release of 0.2.0, Inferno was mainly east vs. west instead of east vs. north.  No idea what happened there...

Shouldn't shock anyone that the shortest distance between bases is where most of the fighting happens in vanilla SA. Instant action is the name of the game.  I wonder if it would be hard to program that one of a team's bases goes inactive for 5 minutes.  That would mix things up.

I think they should bring back the version 1.0 inferno map and call it something else, and have multiple lava maps.

It was a good map in its original form except for the bases issue which could be resolved via a strategically placed hill and base re-design.

Not a bad idea to bring the old map back too. Afterall it is not about he textures it's about the angles.

tbf the new inferno is much better than the old one, its just we never really get to play it to its full.

Well snowball, thats because when it was first released people saw is west and clan east and thought hey, this is how we should play.

Then the people who spawned at the bottom soon realised how long it took to get into combat, and instead spawned north.

And thus, the problem was created. Or at least, thats what i think did it..
