Anyone Else Hate The New Cos?

darkjester

I just played the new daimos for about half an hour, and I've got to say, I hate it. The sewer is lighter, which weakens alien, and is split in middle, which is so boring. It is MUCH easier to get to PG, which is bad. And the ramp is irritating as its much easier for marines to get up to the elevator platform. And the map is much more laggy than before. Overall I have to say it's a very marine sided map now.

Then there's angst, used to be one of my favorite maps, now though, I find myself quite bored with there just being a bunch of hallways and boring open rooms. I know I know, what more do I want in an NS map right? Well, it used to have such character in its rooms, the ladder room, the bridge, the room with the big talbes, every room had a defining feature that made the map overall more interesting to fight in. But now, we have more elevators, and ramps, and while I realise ladders are very irritating for fades, I don't think that's reason to get rid of the only one, which was in a very easy xeno spot.

Overall, I don't understand why they changed these two maps, don't fix what isn't broken.

I have actually only played 1 match in the new daimos. Cant really comment, other then it seems to have changed a lot.

For the reasons you stated and many more, I <b>MUCH</b> prefer the B5 angst and daimos.

urinalcake

Yeah, I think we prefer a lot of the B5 stuff though, because we were on B5 for so long and we aren't use to them yet.
Although, I hate the new Daimos with the blazing fire of a thousand suns.

But I like the new sava, the map went from **** to playable in a couple of changes.

Angst was apropriately named, as it caused Onii much anguish in trying to get through that damned light-table room to the marine spawn. The small corridor and entrance into the hive multiplied it.

TBH, if it has changed from this and has had it's hallways/entrances enlarged, and rooms less cluttered with path-blocking objects, it's much better.

comrade

b5 angst is MUCH worse because it's just cloak/GL spam heaven and all the really small hallways are really not fun to play proper NS in

meh, the new daimos is ok with me, yea it is really differeent, seems smaller in a way too.

I dont like the new angst map though. and the map still seems just as tight for oni as it was before. Especially with all those pipes and such sticking out everywhere in that one room

Daimos seems to have gotten smaller in terms of travel time and and angst longer if you ask me.

Dr_aaagh

yup - b5 combat maps were better

I like more the new one.

I wouldnt mind of the new changes, if they wouldnt have changed the brightness on several maps. Seriously, i dont even want to imagine how dark they look to someone who has a crappy monitor.

my dell moniter seems to have issues and changing the gamma/ brightness in ns doesnt do anything.

If I want to have any chance at doing well on certain maps in NS i have to play at night with all the lights turned off lol <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The old daimos was great, but with this new daimos, they should have at least kept the way things were and just made some "slight" changes rather than a total renovation of the daimos map.

As to angst, I think the new one is okay. It'll take time to get used to, but it's okay.

Align

Yeah, it's essentially not daimos anymore(this isn't necessarily a bad thing), as just about every area was changed dramatically. Might as well have made a new map and said that it was inspired by daimos.

that gets you sad....how?

Daimos has always been marine biased poo. Sooner the mapper gets rid of the ridiculous weld point the better. It's changed countless times to try and balance it, and it's never worked...ever.

monopolowa

I liked B5 daimos better...this version shouldve been called daimos 2.0 or something
