If you ask me, we have never been a server like LZ where they have hundreds of custom maps. If you really want to play new custom maps, why not just joining a server that is running your maps?

I'm playing on the Hampshire Heavies for...i think 3 years now? I remember when I started, badwater, granary, badlands, and some other maps. I was so impressed by the high skill level. Dont change a working system.
Dont, because 5cp maps are the heart of HH1, probably making it to one of the best and most unique servers out there.

I'm not so sure why there is so much confusion over this I never mentioned new maps I never mentioned changing ALL the servers what I mentioned was change one of the servers to cater for the more laid back players that do not want to play continuous 5 point cps .

And I'm sure if i came in a year ago and suggested a goomba stomp, crits, amplifier, Saxton hale mod i would have had even more of an aggressive stance towards me.

Oh And tell Humphry Davy your "if it aint broke" attitude

Less than a third of maps played on HH2 are 5CP. Over half are payload.

5CP maps are not necessarily 'grr hardcore' and we all played them when we were new to the game. They don't dominate that server by any means, and they only get played when they're voted for by the people playing. There is a hard limit to how many 5CP maps can appear in the mapvote (I think it's 1 or 2) so map ratings aren't relevant here, there's always a payload and a/d choice in the mix.

As I said earlier, if you want us to believe that the people who play on HH2 find 5CP maps unbearable then you can conduct the research yourself and prove it to us. If you can't be arsed then neither can we.

Actually a long time ago HH was all about the customs, or at least had a very active custom friendly server formally known as regs server 3 (RIP). the good usually got filtered out and put onto 1& 2 if I remember correctly. turbine and steel are 2 good examples of this btw, which were both frequented on hh before they became official. actually that could be arse cause i rarely ventured away from the regs server, but still.


As for the whole 5cp thing, its just a small minority/personal gripe about this I'm sure, and not worth making a deal over. the reason you may see the reaction as to be hostile in some way is simply because its old old ground, tried and tested so many varieties over the years, its just a little tiresome thats all. i can see the issue with multiple 5cp maps being played in succession, for sure, but thats different and in no way is there an advantage to taking the game mode out completely, i'd hazard a guess there are more people who dont like ctf or pl than 5cp, specially on HH, we are not trying to particularly be noob (not newb) friendly, i dont believe.
