I've already talked to enf about a TPG private and he said all we need to do if give him the info of what we need(size,restrictions,ect.) and he'll get it up for us.

I know you guys are talking about tourney stuff now, but I've been away from CS due to new game like Borderlands 2 and XCOM. Also due to RL stuff. Before I left though there seemed to be enough regulars to make calls and follow them.

I have as many servers as needed should it come to that.

I think a new style of doing this would be cool, but it *might* still be too early. Maybe we should brain storm ideas on what we can do differently for a easier/less work, but fun tourney.

Unknown maps? back when we did a couple weeks pugging, like de_strata, de_rust.. custom maps. That was fun. We also could do something different, play 7v7, etc on larger maps.. just change some shit up. But, I will say we do the big 5's tourney at least once a year.

I know the policy on the server is no custom maps, but I think there are some pretty good custom maps out there for GO and a little diversity would help when the server is cranking. I'd rather play a custom DE map over a standard CS map.

Since when is the policy on not DoD/BF games no custom maps?
Off the top of my head custom maps on the GO servers now: Pira, Rush, Mirage

I don't know where you got this. We play custom maps all the time...2 major things needed for us to pick up a map...one it needs to be TPG friendly. We're not going to bring in a horrible stacked map or a map that is too big/little for the amount of players we have. Two, it needs to be polished. By polished I mean, it needs to have everything and not have any game breaking bugs. Radar, not texture bugs, no out of map bugs, etc. Other than that we just need to have a group of people testing it to verify that it is indeed acceptable to TPG and then we'll work on getting it in the servers.

Rad, if you have a custom map you want to pitch to the community. DO IT! JudeDeath pointed out that mill, mirage, and rush are all custom maps.

Like iLLusioN said, it needs to be well-researched and tested before it goes on the server. This generally entails getting a group of regs together and playing on it for a few games. Get enough support behind it and it will get added.

I am definitely down to add some new maps to the database, message if you find a good one.

Somebody (which I thought was an admin or at least a regular) stated in game about a week ago to some random scrub that was trolling that no custom maps were allowed. I guess I was misinformed.

I played on a server the other day that was only custom maps with a friend and some of them were very well done. They reminded me of Call of Duty maps. I'll try to find out what they were and suggest them.

Mirage and Mill are my two favorite maps on the server. Always have been.

What kind of timeline would you expect to start on>? a month or 2 for signups first? I just wonder how it will line up with cevo or other leagues, cuz that was a bit of a killer towards the end of the last tourney.
