      Should the server switch to ANY OTHER MAP? 15
      1.  
        ANY OTHER MAP (YES) (8) 53%
      2.  
        FreeManCityV2 (NO) (7) 47%
      Reasons For:
      -Absolutely ugly vegetation
      -Only one underground route to the other side of the map
      -Apartments are pitiful for the price
      -The police department uses locks instead of sliding doors
      -MAV owns the absurdly rigged casino (which I think he should refund to players and shut down the casino/re calibrate odds)
      -By far THE WORST map out of any RP map for the last 10 years of playing. I would take literally ANY OTHER MAP.


      Reasons Against:
      ?


      Please share input as to why or why not as well

    • Allow me to answer each and every one of these petty excuses one by one.

      Reasons For:
      -Absolutely ugly vegetation.

      As opposed to what, no vegetation? this is post half-life 2 and combine rule. Is the world supposed to be filled with sunshine happiness and sunflowers?

      -Only one underground route to the other side of the map
      FreemanCity v1 only had one underground route excluding the train tunnels. (which would of been entirely impractical to use)

      -Apartments are pitiful for the price
      The server didn't do an economy reset, many players already had 500k-1m+. So prices had to accommodate.

      -The police department uses locks instead of sliding doors.
      Stop being lazy and lock the doors on your way out & check them from time to time, otherwise don't be cop.

      -MAV owns the absurdly rigged casino (which I think he should refund to players and shut down the casino/re calibrate odds)
      Yeah.. and you idiots keep playing it even though ya'll say yourself its rigged.

      -By far THE WORST map out of any RP map for the last 10 years of playing. I would take literally ANY OTHER MAP.
      Oh fuck boi you clearly haven't played a large variety of hl2dm rp maps.

      I agree with everything else except this. We don't need more reasons for Cops to not want to play.

      Theres a difference between Lazy and Habit, every Map we've used since I've been here(3 years+) has been a sliding door which ''auto lock'' themselves when they close.

      It could be added that a timer will set the door status to locked every 30 seconds. However, if a door is open when the timer fires, the door will remain open and locked.

      I didn't use sliding doors because of the aesthetics and this isn't a combine themed pd, and like with the others maps I've produced.. I design them for Garry's Mod first Hl2dm second. In Gmod if the door is sliding the cops have to use a 'Battering Ram' to force sliding doors open. Which is far more inconvenient then what gmod and hl2dm players must go through locking and unlocking of a rotating door.

      If this issue is so incredibly game breaking and too difficult for the cops to handle then by all means switch off the map.

      edit: Like I had said and made a specific thread about, if there are BUGS MAP RELATED. people can post them with a screenshot and they'll be fixed in v2b. This door locking situation will be address if requested in the bug thread. Otherwise any of this discussion or complaining will not be taken into account.

      Just remove the casino or re calibrate the odds. People are losing all their money on it. It's supposed to be dice where the outcome is random, but instead its rigged because "The house always wins" which is ridiculous because the house cannot control the outcome of dice. If you're going to rig your casino at least create a slot machine and then your excuse is valid.
      -Absolutely ugly vegetation.

      Yes, sunshine happiness and sunflowers would not be a step down. At least put some trees that are alive in the map.

      The Casino has been around for like 6 months as just a Zone an Admin can set.

      If you don't like the Odds then Don't Roll, it's that easy. You have roughly a 35% chance of winning.

      The Casino is meant to be a money sink for most and a light source of income for those that luck out.

    • Doesnt make sense to have key locked doors and those keys carry over from cop to rebel....map looks rushed. You shouldnt have to "Switch off map" or "not be cop" to enjoy anything. "Not going for a combine PD" Yeah cuz that makes sense because there are so many more police forces besides combine within the hl2 world. Their are 2 ways to each side of the map and both are incoveinent, have been playing rp on hl2dm since 09 and i can tell u by far this is the worst map i have ever rp'd on. Vendors are so out of place its ridiculous, not to mention the movie posters on the map are breaking federal copy right infringement laws. I think the casino is a good idea...if their was more to do besides casino but they'res not, youve just created this powerhouse casino and gave it to the players with nothing else to do besides walk around a bleak map, of course theyre going to gamble, what happend to release date of april 1st? MAV even said he just gave up n didnt care about it anymore n then what do you know its launching that night, constant overflow, map is whack. This server will be dead from this map. more than a few have already said they are leaving if it doesnt change, whether admins care or not who knows. new players constantly dont want to learn and leave right after joining... sounds like 2015 huh?

      What to do with doorhack in this map
      If the mod handled the sliding doors like nicks mod did then all the garages would be of been door-hackable estate. Sidezz said he is working on a fix.

      Make an rp map that doesn't copy paste. Tell me how long until you get bored of it.
    • I dont make maps thats you're job, so i have no idea what copy and paste means. I can tell you out of a good 50 or so rp maps ive played on over the years this one is the worst and complete trash, just so happens to be the only one ive been on that you've had part in, sounds like the issue isnt the map but the dev.

      I cant even believe their is a bug report thread. the whole fucking map is a bug lmao
    • I know criticism of the map is the last thing Mav wants to hear, but the housing on the map is truly disgusting. Why spend hours grinding for cash if there are no awesome houses to buy? It seems the main focus of the entire map was the CASINO. Take a look at the casino and the rest of the map. The casino looks marvelous and very well done, while the rest of the map is left behind in some Detroit-esk pre-gentrified shithole.
    • Im from detroit... and concur it looks like cancer.

      I love that the train station consists of a whole five feet, and all the signs say "Under Constuction" But should say "meh im lazy"
      To actually think you had the audacity to ask me for $100 paypal to have my name on that parasitic casino.

      Casino was pulled from my previous project rp_oceancity, that is why it stands out so much. as the art style between the two works were polar opposites, I was going to include the private islands and penthouse suites from oceancity but the engine plays a factor.

      Think about why freemancity v2 didn't come out 7 years ago when the original mapper was trying to do it. But I guess even that is pointless since you aren't a mapper and don't get why many things are done the way they are in order to not overload the engine and to keep players from getting < 80 fps on average as we saw on terminal. (not to throw you under the bus there kist)

      I've stated before and I'll state it for the last time, There is a bug fix thread. Post issues that have to do with the map alone in there and they will be sorted out in the coming edition. If no one posts there, I won't fix it as that will be the 'ticket' list I go there when the following edition is made.

      I would pull up the compile log of all the limitation percentages but I doubt you'd understand it.
    • Things have changed in 7 years as to why it was unable to be made, and trust me you had nothing to do with it. Yes we know there is a bug thread you can keep repeating it as much as youd like for your own good but this is a poll thread to switch maps because your rendition of freeman city 2 is absolute trash and is going to kill the server.

      This isnt a thread to debate bugs, the whole fucking map is a bug, so that would kinda be pointless.

      Make one, make your own edition of freemancity and lets see how it turns out.
    • Just take the poll into consideration, no amount of bug fixing can change the way the map IS. You would have to re-design the entire map. I'm not bashing ur map making skills, Im just saying the current one is unappealing for THE ONLY HL2rp server in existence.

      With such a talented dev team and admin lineup, I just expect much more from the last HL2RP server out there.
    • where were you when we did the 8 beta tests?

      anyway i think you're over-reacting. Also a little under appreciative of the fact that Mav donated us a map for free, using no outside assets, to give new content in a 10 year old game.

      i don't see a problem in your list that offers constructive feedback at all. Mav already broke it down point by point so i wont do that.


      In any case this map like all maps, will run its normal 3 ish month cycle and any updates Mav make are by his own choice. Come around May, you can bitch about what the next map will be, which will probably end up being uptown_v3 or something similar. usually we hold a poll if we are unsure.

      I see your concern and let me tell you, I hated interurban but some people liked it and we ran through it fine. You hate this map but some people like it, and we are going to run through it. No need to call riot or quit out when it will be passed in about 3 months. This is why we have the cycle. to check out all kinds of NEW maps and then visit some old favorites. i for one, like this map
