What happened to prometheus?

Guys, i know there'll be a dozen 'it was dropped because it sucks, just like machina sucks, and shiva sucks, and lucid sucks, and...', so just don't say em already.

I was just surprised to see no ns_prometheus named in the full 3.2 changelog. Was it actually scrapped or is this a mistake?

    There were some major fps issues that couldn't be resolved in time for release.

    Really? ...did it break the r_speed limits somewhere or something? I never heard of any fps issues... were they there in the beta release too?

    Ahh... that's really disappointing, and surprising tbh. Of the three new ns maps, this one seemed to stir the least controversy when it loaded. I thought it was a very solid map, not needing much in terms of balance work either.

    The electrified water was great too! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    This map has the same fps issues as co_rebirth.
    I have those issues on co_umbra, too.
    Is this map still in?

    What are the computer specs of these people with FPS issues. They must have a geforce 256 or something.

    No, its actually a problem with the map itself.

    I never had any issues with the map. I was wondering what the specs where of people who had problems.

    Thanks to MadMaxx for the quote <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> I'm not some big mapping genius, but as far as I know there's an issue with the map which causes some people to have fps issues regardless of how big or powerful their machines are. But you should definitely look forward to having prometheus in either a future version or the map pack that is being discussed in the mapping forum right now.

    It is more of an engine issue which explains why everyone would experience drops.
