Build and Shoot

Wow... I haven't been here for a long time. The last session I logged in must have at least been five months ago... maybe more...

Anyway, I'm back... maybe. If the community doesn't kick the bucket.

But on to my main point: Anyone missing classicgen? You know, the traditional rolling hills and rivers that really gave AoS it's original image? I can't find any servers with it. Or, at least, when I do they are empty. I remember, not long before I quit BnS (until now I guess) I had a really great match on a server with classicgen. It was loads of fun - we built a massive fort and the blue team tried to tear it down!

Much more fun that jagex's 'demolition mode'

Anyone else missing classicgen? It's a shame people seem to be more into (as good as they are) maps like pinpoint and anticbridge, which I feel don't entirely provide the gameplay Ace of Spades was designed for. I wouldn't be complaining if there were full, classic gen servers as well as these highly customized ones.

I'm missing it

We're all missing gen when he was classy.

Yeah, whenever I want to play classicgen the servers for it are all empty. Kinda disappointing, it is a hell of a fun map.

It really is disappointing that classicgen servers are always empty. I think walking distance and time used up by sprinting to where you want to be is a major factor. People now want instant action which is fairly common in shooters nowadays. So if you want a busy server, you want tight and simple maps. Maps like pinpoint and anticbridge are just to name a few.

swag

randomgen > classicgen anyway

I miss it alot. As Teeth said, most of the maps provide fast action, wich is what most people want. I find the awesome slow combat of classgen more enjoyable.

Start a classic gen event, do it next weekend and set a time.

That's a nice idea!

We really should do that.

It would be an awesome community event, to get people back to what made AoS so great!

wtf classic gen is stupid
who the hell has time to build and stupid groundhogs keep building tunnels
flat maps are best with no building

I don't miss classicgen tbh, much better map (person?) is random gen in all attributes.

Classicgen is fun when the servers full. It's the map I first played on and I loved it. I'd definitely join if you set the event up.
