custom pickup channel ?

I think it’s time that this suggestion went from posts in threads that people ignore to something that actually is going somewhere
We have too many awesome custom maps being realesed now and just one or two playtests aren’t going to get them into comp.
If we can get obscure forced down our throats, can we at least take a look at the other maps too then?
Like what happened with that pickup that was for the map competition?
Can we reboot it with the newer realesed custom maps?
Admins?
The starting lineup for the maplist could be;
cp_coldfront
cp_photic
cp_prolane
ctf_stockpile
cp_mainline_rc4
cp_swerve_b2
ctf_wildfire
cp_taiga
cp_fool_hill
Then we will have a look around at ’em. And then maybe we could create a thread every month/2 months asking which one should be in, and which one should be out, and if there is any other maps – people could suggest them and we could vote – and the mappers could try to advertise their map abit and see if people gets intressed by it.
Is this a suggestion that is too hard to make? I dont know that kind of stuff, but with all these new maps that are getting realesed, it kind of feels like its needed. And maybe we’ll finaly see some VARITION within the competative side of tf2?

Would love that :)
If mbl would be used instead of ventrilo +1
Great idea!! :D

Excellent idea.
In all fairness, I think it would be pretty dead as a pickup isn’t really the way to learn a new map. Last night I got a mix team who wanted to play cp_coldfront and we found a game against some cool dudes from BoX (and a couple of other people). We just spent like 10mins running around the map, working out jumps and stuff then played it. Had a good laugh.
Then we did the same on cp_prolane and cp_photic. Really was a good laugh, people were playing for fun and learning the maps at the same time. More people should try it really.

cp_photic is now known as cp_kritztastic…
@IceRedFox; Sounds great that they took the liberty to make something like that : )
But that kind of channel needs more exposure! Come on admins!

in all fairness, how much exposure did that match have in the TF2 community? I didnt know you guys played those maps for example or how it was or anything
I have always been interessed to play on custom maps, but I dont know anyone else other than me on my friendslist that has the same interests, if there was a channel specially created for this perpouse and people are in that channel, chances are that most of them are interested.
Also that it is pickup doesnt mean “I’m going to be silent and do nothing for my team the next 30min” isnt really what i think would happen in these kind of pickups, I mean why the hell would you join a pickup of something that you dont have interest in? :P
Did you play the pickups for the competition?
I actually played quite a few of them, and they were layed back, and mostly we had some dude in the team that knew the way around the map more than the others and explained the basics during the warmup.
I don’t think this will be pickup1, and if it will – we at least tried.
and do YOU have any other suggestions?
Playing with randoms that are interessed > Playing with clans that aren’t interessed
IMO
