as if making some of the best maps in recent years wasn't enough, ahs3 has grabbed the baton in the relay race of hosting badgerking's. it's on bzbattleground.com:5667 let's play and spread the word.

that happens to me when i go nr during a game (connection to the server lost). when i leave normally, (or f12 when about to get shot ) the old score is retrieved. it may be that being kicked/banned by admin or poll may reset your score too but i don't know about that.

ahs, ffa fans are gonna start a riot if they don't see this kewlness back on the server list very soon.

another solution is obvious as well, and quite simple. Make a ffa map, should it matter what version it is? i wouldn't worry about making a new map. even since the time 2.4 came out, some very good ffa maps have been created. they are simply not getting played on. new maps have even less of a chanc...

thanks to easy tank , overdoze is being hosted again after long and painful months of deprivation. please drop by to play the big city fight and send a /report if you notice something is different from the time zaphod was hosting it. now that the ffa crowd is not divided between the old and new bz v...

It doesn't matter what you think, you do have a reputation here, everyone does. And this last post of yours just lowed your reputation, as I see it. (and the post you made right before this topic was "wiped" didn't help either) I have seen other people do the same thing, here, and on othe...

thank you Central Scruteniser, i'm glad a player who remembers the original battlezone times agrees with me on some points. :) i hope a map or more that fits your description can rise to popularity again. you might remember the urban combat i have mentioned on this thread (when it was called bessler...

urban combat was the last server to get regular game play there. since it is gone, the old version has 'practically' died, not officially in the real sense, yes. i didn't mean it was the result of an intervention.. the increase i'm observing and care about is in the number of players who play ffa (o...

aging of the core players is not an alarming issue imo too. many have left for good, but the majority (since i've started bz at least) are more or less still around. i don't see it changing anytime soon, because the main motivation to play this game (for the experienced ones, but i believe generally...

yes, there are two types, but i agree with anathema that the 'n00b on a power trip' sort of admin is, and has always been less of a problem. for obvious reasons those n00b servers are usually short-lived and from what i see nowadays there are hardly any of them left anyway. the real problem is with ...

Idk, I like Mofo's language policy and find the "lang" plugin hilarious. There's nothing better about restricting the use of language through censorship, and the very idea that society has decided that certain groups of letters are inherently wrong, evil, or just rude regardless of contex...

i wouldn't worry about making a new map. even since the time 2.4 came out, some very good ffa maps have been created. they are simply not getting played on. new maps have even less of a chance compared to established ones like mystic valley, badgerking's, eria ziel, ancient & modern.. every time...

sorry const and whoever sacrificed their free time to develop 2.4 (i know there has been a lot of excitement and hope and hard work to get a new version out), but it really is not a development from a -purely- player's point of view. wg was much more fun in the old version (the strengths could alway...

it was a very good ffa map. zaphod had hosted it for ages. it would be nice to have it back.

i'm the primordial pillbox. i have evolved into green manalishi over millions of years of blood, tears and pwnage. you pillbox-wannabe newbs don't wanna upset me.. >( especially you bambino.

Something stange (in my opinion) happened, is there a ban list for Germans (IP). I got this news by the admin of the map "Metropolis". He told me there would be a ban for users with IPs similar to mine. Its because of the "swiss guy". Easy and Zeg9 know which guy I mean. This mo...

not a shock but very bad news all the same... we liked different bz styles but whenever the chance arose, it was always fun playing against and chatting with (*cough* + pwning) you. ^^ i can't thank you enough for hosting overdoze, my second favorite map ever, over the last couple of years and allow...

war pig, i agree with what you say. if only i could be equally successful in having fun on any given map.. meh.

being only partly on topic, and hoping not to offend anyone, can anybody please try to enlighten me as to what could be contributing to the popularity of the ziggurat map? is it the map design, the balanced gameplay, the sw with huge radius that kills no teammates, the eye candy, a combination of so...

and I am glad we have such a close and caring family of tankers all here to help and pwn each other. (That means you The Green Manalishi, I will never forget.) /me hails one of the best dodgers in the game, who luckily has little clue about using power flags so he can actually be pwnt from time to ...

war pig, you should not be amazed no matter how many people would mention you as a bz hero. thanks for your kind words about me. those who think i'm a gloating retarded ever-n00b must be wrong after all... :roll: I love to work my way to the bottom of the score board, then hunt him. "OMG I'm be...

i was wondering -but kept forgetting to ask- what the map was based on. i was thinking on a sci-fi book/film. so, there's actually liquid methane on titan's surface, which is a moon of saturn. :book: this adds suh wheat realism to the map. btw it would be so very cool if you could add saturn to the ...

wouldn't you wanna fry him, shock him, turn him into swiss cheese, sneak up behind and pwn him?
