<div class="IPBDescription">On co_deimos</div> Deimos sucks. ALOT. Whoever made it needs to go back to closer to the original, now THAT was a map. No this isn't flame bait, and no Im not tryimg to personally insult you.

OK, problems.

Long hallways, except one, that thankfully has a vent</li><li>Acidic water, I don't like the idea of it in the first place, but if you insist on using it, please stop making it burn you for like 5 minutes.</li></ul>

As I said, Im not insulting, and I would love to see an improved deimos. I never post in mapping so please move this to where it belongs if I am wrong.

one thing that really bugs me about the new daimos is that huge wall in the middle of the map saying who it was made by. really takes away from the atmosphere.

*Daimos

I agree with all points. Bit harsh the way you've come across about it though.

EDIT: Enjoyed ranting lately CWAG? I remember that big **** thread in General Discussion. A flame turned discussion <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Agree on the points. Don't really like playing Deimos now (this is not true for any other official NS map, co_ or ns_, apart from Origin, and even then only when I play with weak team members).

I much preferred the original, in fact I'd go so far as to say that it was one of my favourite co_maps. This has changed so much it really shouldn't have the same name (co_somied, perhaps). The only thing that's recognisable is the acid water section, which thanks to the ladder placement and general layout has become extremely frustrating to negociate.

Pity, really.

finally glad someone posted about these issues

Lt_Gravity · July 2005

I agree with crispy.
this is not just map fixing, its a completely new map. and this elevator... I just had to stop and laugh about it. first time I played it there were some clipbrushes missing so the guyin front of me got down the shaft without losing health.

shure, the new daimos does look way better than the original. but I my eyes it was not necessary to change the map COMPLETELY.

btw: this anoying sign is placed twice (at least) in the map. no offense but nobody should place the credits within the map in such way. remember ns_source where the credits had been part of the mines workers list <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

I have the worst FPS ever in this map, especialy in the new welding and teleporting room, so much so that i have to leave the server. I recently played the old version and IMO it was still V playable and so much fun. *Ponders why it had to be changed so much to this...*

mrinsane · July 2005

yes this map sucks but i doubt it will be taken out

Viper_two_nine_A · July 2005

this map was made by hypergrip. but i think he currenty has not much free time on his hands ... so you might have to wait a little longer for changes etc.

(btw i think daimos has been flamed enough since its rerelease <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /> )

mrinsane · July 2005

thats not it.

some mappers really work hard on their maps to get rit of EVERY problem that might mess up the gameplay. obviously maps that ARE official doesnt need to be this perfect...

but maybe its just jealousy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

I think Hyper is aware of the issues surrounding demios, but to be honest, I haven't seen him online in a long time to talk with him about it.

I'll keep working on it.
