Why most servers are crap these days

[MrMeow]

I like bridge maps.
AnticBridge FTW.
Also Bridgewars.

Most servers are bad because of low moderation.

That is the truth. Ace of Spades is way too easy to aimbot, so without an active mod, someone is guaranteed to ruin the fun by aimbotting. Failing that, people will grief anything and everything.

Most people don't even bother trying to get enemy intel, they just dedicate themselves to destroying the enemy bridge.

You should see what happened to the Wildwood AoS server.

It was griefed to hell.

Altoids what happen to Wildwood AoS server?

As I see it, Low moderation = target for aimbotters + bridge wars = target for griefers = terrible server

I enjoy both maps with terrain, and just plain flat maps, like Goon Assault, I prefer flat maps because it requires some good coordination to really push through in a flat strip of land, and build some well-made defenses.

There are tons and tons of servers. Several use a variety of maps, try some of the more official servers. Minit, aloha, Sham, ect.
I know aloha has dedicated servers to maps, like classic gen. Or Pinpoint.

aos://1379434439:31887 That's Pinpoint
aos://1379434439:40887 That's classic gen. Which sounds like what you're looking for.
(Just click to join the server directly)
Also, there is a "good terrain" map out there, called tug of war.
lol I don't know much about other servers though, so I only linked to what I know.

*sigh* Do I have to mathematically prove that bridgewars and anticbridge (the latter is in the Minit rotation for no good reason, what the hell?! GET THAT FILTH AWAY FROM ME) are bad maps?

Hallway is actually an OK map in my opinion... apart from the fact that it's spawncamp heaven, but other than that it's not too shabby. Perhaps there should be a script to stop spawncamping from the top of the... things? If you fix that, though, it's hypothetically an alright map.

It seems some smartasses have found out how many kills you need to break blocks in the antigrief script we're trying out on Minit Assault. Looks like I'll have to keep working at it.

Looking down the list, I saw 19 Bridgewars servers. I think there are probably more pinpoint/pinpoint2 servers out there.

I recently made a map census and found 26 Bridgewars, 17 Anticbridge, but only 12 Pinpoint and 9 Pinpoint2.

Just play on well moderated servers with nice maps. You can also make your own servers with only the maps that you like. I run Gen Wars because I love classic generated map, the only one in my rotation.

Just on the topic of bridge maps, there really is no excuse for any server to be running antic bridge anymore, because 9 games out of 10, you can even get the player's who were actually playing to help you grief the bridge. I've seen a few cease-fires occur, actually :|.

At least with Bridge wars, it's kind of fun, even after the bridge is destroyed (though the novelty wears off in about an hour)

Antic Bridge is a heck of a fun map, it was just used way too much back in 0.70.

Does anyone know what happened to the Dinner Plate map? It was the second map I ever played on.

The first being Bridge wars, but I despise that map.

The last time I remember Antic Bridge being widespread was back when Jest-Servers were on the top of the server list... :\
