TOPIC: Server 2 Map Poll

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!

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:

Scaremongering right here, You act like you know that it can't be fixed and again coming from another avid AFK printer.

I find it hard to believe that ZARP didn't deal with this in some way when it used to be the map.

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.

Rockford V2 would be amazing for basing, and especially raiding.
Bloc42 is too small, and could probably end up really badly with weapons like hand cannons.

Image is meant as comedy, but it has a serious note.

Bloc42 crashes the server when props are spawned in the mine and since it's part of the map it can't be fixed.
Those saying it can easily be fixed are LYING!

What?
Please tell me you're joking.

EMP" post=262676]This map as a ton of flaws and I don't believe it suited for ZARPS play type. The main issue is that its just to small. It has in total on of one area that would be possible for big gang bases.

Another huge thing is that the map lacks a lot of key features that ZARP now requires. Such as a bank vault... Not the mention the map plagued with other major problems, like if you spawn a big prop in the mines it will instantly crash the server...

For everyone. Bloc42 has the issue that was shown earlier in Tyler's post. The map crashes every single time you spawn a huge prop is spawned in the mines. There might be a fix to this, we just don't know what the fix is also Chute and EMP dosen't have time to figure out what the problem is. And nobody is stepping up to the plate and saying they wanna find a fix for it. There of course is a easy fix to it, which is blocking the mines off completely. But that is just not an ideal solution to the problem, why would we put a map on the server if the map dosen't work and the only solution is blocking some areas off. If a solution is found then i would not have a problem adding the map

Why not try removing and remaking the mines?
