Rockford and Evo wil give me damn 4 fps. if its gonna be either 1 of those 2 maps you wont see me much online on S2 lol

(and yes serious, rockford currently gives me 4 fps to play with)

lads i was just messing around lol. i barely rp my self so dont take a word i say serious about the raiding thing xD

I think a smaller map like bloc 42 will be great, it will probably give off lower lag, and it will bring back RP, of course they will alter special weapons because its smaller, but i think its the right step in bringing "Old Zarp" back.

Now that we are in the roleplay topic, I'd say that there is no RP what so ever on zarp, I've been in many serious rp servers, there is none here. So maybe rename SSRP to SS? as there is no rp. Bloc42 might save it.

Good stuff boys, get your votes in!: I want to bring Evilmelon back or get Rockford v2!

For me, i got a potato laptop, so i cant handle the big maps. so i want Evilmelon or Bloc42

I Voted Bloc42 I am kind of curious about it

It is only in the mines at that spot.

Of course EMP can fix it, have you seen his edits of downtown?

Take a look at this video that I put together, hopefully it will inform you about some of the misrepresentations of bloc42!

I doubt they would include Bloc42 in the map vote if they thought it needed too much work.

One of the largest complaints or arguments against bloc would be the issue with explosive weapons, how would you go about this being fixed in your opinion?

There are a few ways that I've thought of to balance some of the explosive weapons that people may see as overpowered.

Before I iscuss this however, I think it's only best to say that the hand cannon issue is very exaggerate. There are still many spots that big bases can be set up, it's just a little hard to base there adding challenges with defending, something that I and other people feel rockford lacks.

A way of fixing this would be to tweak the settings for server 2 alone, by far the most simpler option. Similar to how server 2 has had some differences with s1 in the base, such as slower updates. It would be simple and fix many issues.

Another way would be to nerf the hand cannon as a whle. It is still quite an overpowered weapon, only balanced out by the cost. Regardless of price, it can still decimate a base will full prop protection in a clip. Shooting props in the bank destroys shops on the surface even on S1, which people seem to overlook when discussing the issues with bloc. A nerf overall meaning you can't blow up props through walls would make it a more balanced weapon overall.

Harlem here,
Don't be fooled into voting for Bloc42 guys. We had the map on before a year or so again, and let me tell you it was complete trash. Here's my list of why not's for Bloc42, and what RockfordV2 has to counter:

BLOC42 Not enough space for large numbers of players.
ROCKFORD V2 Large varying districts, big roads, big areas

BLOC42 Doesn't work with vehicles at all, narrow roads, tight corners, cars spawn away from the dealer with at least a 60 second walk to get in your vehicle because of a lack of space (car spawns can't be changed)
ROCKFORD V2 Great purpose built car dealer, with big car park for easy vehicle spawning

BLOC42 Lots of buildings of different sizes all co-joined and next to each other
ROCKFORD V2 Even more buildings, different districts, and proper basing areas and separated buildings

BLOC42 Building in mines crashes the server
ROCKFORD V2 No server crashes as a result of the map

BLOC42 Lo-res textures and stock HL2 textures, lazy mapping
ROCKFORD V2 Custom textures and high resolution custom models, detailed and comprehensive mapping skills

Thank you,
and CHOOSE ROCKFORD!

*Pants off*

I know it can be fixed but it takes a lot work and I don't see any volunteers. Another point would be the general design of the map, it doesn't fit the current gameplay offered on the servers. How would a map that is as small and cramped as Bloc42 work with the special weapons? As for the argument of me AFK printing I hardly print at all. I spend most of my time spectating and making sure the staff are doing their duties correctly.
