NQR to announce shocking news for Season 11?

Friday 14th December, 2007 | Skip to comments (26)

Just recently NQR strengthened their admin crew by the addition of Molgrum who is pretty well known for running the custom map tournaments ”Free Thursday Kenya” and ”King of Tuesday Kenya”. With Molgrum aboard, people are starting to ask themselves whether or not this will also influence the map pool. Anyone who has followed the qw scene in the last year knows that the guy is a big fan of trying new maps - also for 4on4! Luckily the NQR crew consists of some oldschool players as well and we of course expect them to save the day, but what if they are fed up with the old maps too? However everyone in the QuakeWorld community knows that removing TB3 from the maplist would most likely result in a complete flop.

But if NQR is willing to try new maps it is very likely that they are going to say goodbye to the old kenya brothers, CMT3 and CMT4 which were used in only few divisions during last couple of years. Way back in the days all divisions were forced to use the same map pool, which made the games a bit more interesting because worse clans were able to take points from the better clans. Since we are talking about the QuakeWorld community this of course gave birth to some lame sayings like ”kenya only clan” and other pathetic excuses for losing, such as:

”ROFL! e2m2.. HAHA.. even worse than that cmt4lolmap :) and sr even lost it.. bg?” -Hagge

However there is still plenty of time to go before season 11 starts and during that time we, the community, can speak our mouths empty and try to make an effect. So what would you think of playing new maps along with TB3? Could it be interesting to see Fragomatic vs The Viper Squad on a map you have never seen or heard of?

cmt3 and cmt4 are the aero and ztn of 4on4

No way! Aerowalk is an epiphany, a gift from god himself and my personal elixir of eternal youth. CMT3 and CMT4 can't live up to that!

cmt3 is the king of all 4on4 maps, the epitome of mapwise evolution.

tb3 ftw, i dont think clans are willing to take the time to learn the tactics on new maps these days. And tb3 are most wanted by the spectating crowd i guess. Sure there are some clans and spectators that wants to see new maps, but overall i think (and hope) tb3 will conquer.

I would like to see "new" maps to replace the cmt ones as well. I also wish the maps would be used in all divisions but that's probably very unlikely going to happen :P

honestly, if they announce the kenya maps in time so people can practice it, I think we've got some interesting games to look forward to!
cmt3 and cmt4 are not so much kenya anymore though, more like marocco

If you have any custom map suggestions, query me on IRC (channel #nqr). A discussion will probably take place very soon about the map pool.

One of the few times i agree with hagge. Tb3 only please. Kenyamaps sucks, keep it oldschool.

I agree with peppe. Announce the maps well in advance so we can practice them.

Haha, who gave you the right to use that quote? =) I actually liked the kenya maps a lot in the start and I still consider cmt3 to be a quite decent map, but other than that.. GO TO HELL KENYA MAPS! If it were up to me, all tournaments would be dm3 only :)

if five is a good enough number for duel, it ought to be a good enough number for 4on4

perhaps do the regular tournament with the basic division standards and tb3 assigned to them, and run a special division with kenya maps (cmt4 cmt3 and e2m2tdm plz) to which clans may join as well. or would that cause too much trouble to instert teams in to two different divisions?

i'd really like to see some sort of compromise in which the tb3 lovers wouldnt be forced to play maps they dislike, or the kenya lovers might play official games in other maps as well

Hagge! <3

Sounds like an interesting idea mipa, I'll bring it up for discussion :)

When most of us can't be bothered to learn kenya maps, the quality of the games suffers. I think div1 has had kenya once(?) and those matches sucked, because the pro-gamers didn't even know the basics - like where to go on first spawn etc...

The only good way is to make a different league for players who are interested.
