I still think tactical should be in there, it's a great map.

Agreed -- beats the hell out of City.

I guess the problem is the switches. If you gain control of the swtiches during the first combat, you can pretty much own the ther team the rest of the game.

I think Tactical would still be lots of fun even without the buttons. Of course...the "tactical" part of the map would be changed quite a bit. But now that we can build during combat, those arches and team walls should be pretty breachable.

and yes, Tactical > City

Lego: I always like your sigs. Awesome theme goin'.

Now onto real topic, lets discuss requirements for league maps. Because although people like tactical, the buttons are too "gimmicky" for the league. Similarly, sf tread cannot be used. So lets take the opportunity here to suggest "reqirements" for maps to be league worthy.

For the purpose of discussion, lets refrain from considering the current league maps as the DEFINING rules. People obviously aren't too fond of city in league and perhaps with the establishment of guidelines it will no longer make the cut.

Some brainstormers:

Completely Bug free? (Skywalk doors I'm lookin' at you!)
Clear/Opaque build wall?? (or foggy, i.e. skywalk)
Spawners/Piles (I think it's already decided to go with spawners)
Ammo boxes? (Are neutral ones required? Do you have to have some in spawn? Etc.)
Health chargers and armour chargers? (Do they have to be next to each other? Do they even have to exist?)
Re-enterable spawn doors? (Yes?, No?)

For now we should just make a big list of options.

I think it would be great if you took the maps which are the best in sf atm, then edited them to league standards (would be sweet if someone made all map build walls frosted so you can't see the enemys fort, but have a port hole or 2 in the frosted glass for the curious to go look in from, of course they could be blocked by other team easily if they felt the need to be so secret).

Then rename all these maps to league eg sf_skywalk_league_s1 (s1 for season 1, incase you wish to change stuff in the next season), then bundle all the league only maps into a legue map pack and get it hosted somewhere like filefront etc. Place the download link in the league forums, this way everyone will have access to the league maps without getting any confusion if you were to edit any of the current maps, and it would be a heck lot more convenient (plus if you was to change maps to which the original mapper has gone awol (aka skywalk), his/her original map will still be played on public games, so they won't have any objections if they happen to turn up on day an be all "wtffzoors i never said you can edit my map biatches, im so fuking pissed off you replaced my version with your fixed one" etc.

What you think?

Ohh Ohh Ohh i just had a great idea;

Advertisement boards in sf maps

I got the idea when i posted a reply to this topic;

But the idea is simple yet sweet, if you were to release league only maps, then you could build massive in game bill boards off to the sides of the maps, then get companys who would be interested to advertise on them and make some cash for servers for league, maybe even webhosting companys would donate one or two servers in return for the advertising (you could probably even get a dedicated server or two thrown in, then use that to host all sf content and provide upload facilitys for forum members to upload sf fan videos, screenshots etc to them. could be a sweet deal in return for a little annoyance no one will really take notice off).
