New assault map

Quiet Storm · 02-24-2008, 04:29 AM

Please, please, please take assault off the server and replace it with assault_upc. I used to play this exclusively as an assault map on 1.6, and I've still never found one better. It evens out the map for CT's so much by providing more entry points and more cover. I didn't think there was a version out for Source, but I looked around and found one. I tested it out with some bots and it's just about perfect. My only complaint is with the side vent not being see-through. That was a big strategic component as CT knowing when it was safe to go in, and as T waiting for CT's to pop their heads up. Even with that, this maps owns regular assault.

Most assault remakes go crazy and do too much with it, but this remake gets it just right. I was also reading some forums for 1.6, and everyone there was talking about how well it works with WC3, so it should fit in well with the mod (once it's working and stable again that is).

I downloaded it and can't find it in the Create Server thing. Doesn't it need a .nav file with it?

There's no .nav file in the zip. I was able to set up a server last night, just from the main CS menu when you first open the game. I really have no idea why you're having a problem with it. It should work like any other map. Maybe you're not scrolling down far enough in the map list? I noticed that it listed the release maps first, then started going through my customs.

I'll take a look at it. Are you saying that Assault is still in rotation?

I don't know if assault is still in rotation. It seems to come up fairly often, maybe people vote for it. Trust me, UPC is much better for an assault option.

OH MY GOD!!! ASSAULT UPC!!! i havent played that in YEARS! it is by far the GREATEST assault map ever. back in the pre wc3 days it was the most epic map of all time. i remember joining assault servers and we would just go through the 20 custom assault maps of the era. of course that was for 1.5 and i didnt think anyone remade UPC for source. if they did then massive props to the crew.

neg it rocks.

Assault Upc was a very popular map in the old cs, and yes it was remade, and no you don't need a .nav file, infact when you load bots on the server it will automatically create the nav file.

Please don't be fooled tho, it IS still assault. It's just a little tougher for T's. It's still just as small, just had less open space, and more routes for ct's. However with the wc3 mod the T's will probably be able to reach them, and there by cover them.

Still, give it a look and see what you think.

Damn, you got to it before me, thats basically all of what I was going to say. Nav files are meant for bots and are auto created when you make server with bots.

Well, I still didn't find it in the list, checked a few times, so then I just searched for a server playing it and got it there. Didn't play it though lol... will do later
