Though both are good maps, I like The Two Tanks 2 better. It's just a more unique map, ya know?

So toss Missile War if you have to throw one out.

I voted for "The Two Tanks" to be shut down (Although I wish neither of them to be gone). I never really got into "The Two Tanks". It has a similar style to that of "Boxy War", but it is way too big in my opinion. "Missle War" isn't too big, and it really promotes a feeling of team play (In a similar way that "The Compound" did when it was still up). "The Two Tanks" is a CTF map, but its laser sniping aspects really don't help the CTF feeling. And I am a sucker for good CTF maps. That's just my two cents.

Well, if Two Tanks is shut down, I'd be happy to put it on my 5155 rotation.

I'll gladly take up whichever map is taken down. Professional bandwidth and great admins. :)

Personally, I prefer Missile War... so I'm voting for Two Tanks to come down.

Nooo!!!! Two tanks is better for two reasons...
  • 1) I love the ctf style with the numbers of people.
    2) The missile war is almost too crammed and difficult.
But if you do take it down, allow one of these other nice hosts to put it back up :D

i prefer 2 tanks, mainly because im not a huge fan of missile war.
ive never been a fan of servers that have ridiculous amounts of superflags, with missiles and people going everywhere, spawn and die, campers taking you out with all the hecticness of it. thats not to say its a bad server, i think its a good server. just not for me :P.

and no, boxy war doesnt fall into that category, or id sound like a silly person. though i probably already do.

I would shut down missle war, because not of it's beauty, but because of the amount of players on it. Less players, I like it more. For 2 Tanks, nothing really, except that very frequently, I'm sealed on spawn, and have to self-destruct.

What is wrong with our bzflag clients!

Clients? I thought it was a server-side spawn-zone problem. I don't really know much about these things though.

Heh. When playing there I have never come across this issue nor have I seen anyone with this problem :P. Maybe it is your clients...

Of course it's the client. It's happened to me on more than one map.

First off, I must compliment the maker of The Two Tanks. A very cool map.

I'd just like to point out that I fixed multiple problems with the Missile War map and released the fixed version, which I think many of you will like a little better, as it makes gameplay better. If it's a matter of too many players I'm sure 1st Consul could lower it down to five per team (20 players) or whichever else if enough you commented on it. :) I admit it's kind of busy sometimes.

As for the spawn issue, that *might* have been a problem with a zone, but that should be fixed (if it was that) in the next version.

I'm glad some of you like my map, and I can assure you I won't be offended if you, the players, take it down.

The spawn problem at The Two Tanks 2 is a Client problem, i never get stucked on spawn.


MissleWar is a good map, and i will set up the new version of it.
With 7 per team.

Only on Weekend the Maps need about 17GB Traffic, the other Days they need only 10-13 GB and i think i can let both servers running.
When it doesnt work, i will take a 2nd Server with 512MB Ram 1Ghz CPU and 1000GB (1TB) Traffic.


Cheers! :)



EDIT: Both Server have a lagwarn/lagkick ; tkkick now.

Just because you are having problems doesnt mean you need to ruin it for the rest of us :wink:
