New Map PUG Group

[waxpax]

Editing this because it's a bit out of date.

My group has been testing maps for approximately 8 months now, we have a pretty stable group to test with that is mainly people that play in ESEA Open and Intermediate, sometimes an Invite person will show up to pug. The list of maps we've played so far is listed below. Pugs are usually Friday or Saturday so that they don't interfere with the normal scrim schedules. My group helped cp_standin get into the rotation of s10 of ESEA. Congrats, Scorpio!

I'm looking for any map that could work well in a 6v6 setting and I generally look at every map posted on this site that I think fits that description. This generally includes: Push, Koth, and AD (Gpit style preferred over linear, but I still look at linear, unless it's more than two stages because playing multiple stage maps can take longer than most people want to commit). If you have something you want tested before public release, by all means contact me and I'll get some testing on it.

Personally, I would really like a new Gpit style AD map to test. So, if you have a project like that in mind, let me know as I'd like to help with testing and/or feedback.

Nice to hear people interested in helping out with testing.

The group should be public by tomorrow, should make it easier for you to join, if you want. We played cp_tidal, cp_crossroads, and cp_grack tonight, was fun.

Just to be sure : you're looking for standard 5cp maps only or are there other game modes you'd consider (and which ones) ?

[Prestige]

cool.

any policy on texturing or anything like that?

It's an NA server right?

We're up for anything. If it's something really new, you might have to explain the concept a little for us to figure it out, though. We've only played CP maps so far, but I grabbed a couple A/D and KOTH maps to check out and I'd like to find a good KOTH map because I kind of want to try to replace Viaduct in the ESEA rotation, eventually.

But, yeah, CP, KOTH, A/D, CTF, Invade CTF, and basically anything else that might work for 6s, I'd be willing to try, assuming I can convince everyone else to try it

Yes, it's an NA server; more specifically, it's in Chicago.

I actually hadn't seen that thread you posted before, I really haven't been lurking this forum much and just really started looking around the site last week when I began looking for maps to try and finally got time to actually join and post this up earlier tonight. Are they still running those pugs? I'll have to look for those entries too, they would probably be good to play.

We might try doing some more pugs tomorrow night (the 26th), I have to see how much time I have tomorrow, though.

Oh no nevermind that thread, they went on for a while during a CTF contest until people from TF2M started bitching about losing and then they died out real quick

If I may plug my own KOTH: http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=16185

We actually have that on the server but haven't tested it yet. (I'm Walka! for those who don't know me and I also play for Pixel Smashers)
