hi,
Have anyone the map ns2_rockdown? It was removed some builds ago with junction. I found the co_rockdown version but i think its not complete. Looked into the Layers and before rockdown was removed, rockdown had a lot of more layers. Want to test something with this map. :D

    I can't remember much of it (always played as marine and was forced to stay in base) but I think it was pretty decent.

    Why did they remove it?

    it was a testing map, it was small to test things out and due to the tiny player base back then

    It has serious issues with sieging what with it being two U shapes inside each other. The center base is easily sieged from all around it, even from the marine's main base. And if marines take that center area, the aliens are basically locked into a corner of the map. The version with the cave area was a bit better, but still had the siege issues.

    This map was created before sieges went into the game and as such was simply a test map. I would love to see it make a comeback, but it would require some serious redesigns. It's also tiny compared to the other maps.

    For those who never got to play on it, it was probably about half the size of tram in the expanded version (the original was probably a quarter of the size). 6v6 on rockdown would feel crowded.
