The point of the server is to have uncommon maps on it. You can go anywhere and play those maps.

Aside from CTF with the 3zb2s I have found that routes make very little difference in their play.
I am sure that a meticulously constructed .chn could/would produce some added bonus. That said, I have never needed to make one for my own satisfaction. I test all of my new maps with them and am constantly amazed by the "coverage" of entire maps.
-They play space/void/lava/slime maps with minimal suicides.
-They funtion well with Jump pads.
-They do some pretty cool trick jumping while they play... makes me rather envious =)
Like I stated the only real issue I have found is that they seem to fight downwards and seldom fight up the Z.

xl1dm7 or 6? :(
And I'd use a different ztn map, just cause 6 is played a bunch and his oldies are still goodies and don't get much rotation.
Also some Electric Fish might not be bad, efdm9 has always been a personal fav.
For some horo play, why not effigy or infect by Moloch.
Perhaps kaiser's Devine Enigma.
Find a jvdm map too, those were always exciting.
Killjoy's Burning with Exstacy (sp) kjdm13 never got much play and that map always seemed to provide for a more conventional style play which is always nice to fall back on.
If you want a bal map, go for dm4 in my opinion that twisty single atrium map was always tops for me.
Beyond that, i'll mention more as I think of em, but that would be a good start for me.

Rotating Ents,,,

that's correct, it's just Q2 code buried inside the original Q1 source, I applied a QuakeSrc.org tutorial (like almost everything in Q2K4 so far) to enable it.
you're saying the q2 rotation stuff was already in the quake source? why on earth didn't id use it then? is there anything wrong with it? bugs?

Thanks for the reply. I do have xl1dm7 there; apparently I forgot to include it in the list I posted. I thought I'd leave Tangerine Dream (efdm9) off because it's a fairly common map, but if there are other, less popular EFDM maps you'd like to see there I'll put those up.
Also, does anyone have suggestions for some MisYu maps?

I'd say, the first one is Scampie :)
The second one, well that's definitely Pushplay, after being confronted with another "ancient Link"

Eraser Routes, I'm working on getting them to you.
Omicron, I really wish Skorpion was still around, life was so easy then, a good new map was released, and a route was sure to be not far behind.

Maps. Errrr which one is it?? The big twin arena one with grey-ish gothic textures and a green sky. That one r0cked.
Kaiser's SWTDIE, kick-arse gameplay map IMHO.

Good IGI2 review!
I agree, although I'm almost even more enthusiastic about the game(s) (IGI2 and it's prequel) than you are :)
