New Masp: cs_zbank * fy_desert - Beta test

A couple new maps have been added to the BF2's map rotation for the time being, cs_zbank and fy_desert. The maps will remain on the server for the duration of a trial period in which flag balance, spawn equality and overall map preformance will be noted for each map.

If the map is accepted by the general community, it will remian on the rotation.
-----------------------------------------------
cs_zbank

For those who want a couple SS's before actually playing it:
http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/110703

Specs:

• 5 Flag points
  
• Smaller map
  
• Emphasis on gunfights and quick 5-cap flag matches
  
• Middle-Eastern theme
  

Notes:
Since the Terrorist spawn takes up a large portion of the map, the flag positioning isn't what I would have originally wanted. In the future (and if this map becomes apart of the rotation), slight edits (such as placing a wall between a pathway, thereby blocking it) may be made to change to feel of the map.

fy_desert
http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/104094

Specs

• Very small map
  
• Emphasis on gunfights - will playout much like battlefield_rush
  
• 5 Flag points - Each team will have 2 team-sided flags and a neutral flag will be contested for.
  
• Desert Theme
  

Notes:
I realize that spawn killing will be a major issue with this map. My advice is to simply ignore it on this map; honestly, if the opposing team is able to push your team into your spawn on this map, you deserved to be spawn killed Anyways, map props (such as the old sandbags) will probably be placed into this map in the future to prevent spawn killing.

How about jeepathon2k ?

I really dig fy_desert. I'm not too sure how I feel about zbank. Too much of a labryinth-y feel for my taste

ya man... fy_desert is sweet. Makes you feel like an actual terrorist

Well one things for sure...I have no idea why i can't load Cs_zbank...I enter the map and laaaaag then screen hangs..

In Cs_zbank i noticed a cheating spot for CT to get a flag ... so you might wanna replace the flags....

If you're talking about the stairwell just outside of CT spawn, that's hardly any reason to replace the flags. You don't need to be on top of the flag to legitimately capture it.

but then the T's cant see you nor shoot u ...

That may be true, but if a CT/T sees an uncapped flag and goes to cap it, you can still see if someone is close by preventing you from taking it...the progress bar will flash. At that point, you know someone is nearby and can take action from there.

Yes thats very true you just need to be alert

still Ct = upper advantage .... until T camps safe flag
