Title: Map Change - City 17
Post by: Dylanthejester on July 04, 2014, 01:10:25 pm

How long have you been with the Community: Since the Beginning

How long have you indulged in Serious Roleplay: Aprox. 4 years

What are your suggestions: Requesting a map change to City 17 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=150899249&searchtext=city+17

Reasoning behind your suggestions: 1. Atmosphere/Lore The map is taken straight out of Half life 2, and modified for Roleplay Therefore it gives the feeling and atmosphere that   
                                                                should be captured in Hl2 Roleplay while keeping it lore-friendly

                                                           2.  Size The map is decently sized, Not big enough that you would have to travel 40 miles to find another person, but                 
                                                                not small enough that all the citizens have to live in the same room.

                                                           3. Roleplay Opportunities Remember the beginning of Half life 2, when you got off the train, the sound of breens
                                                                voice echoing off the walls, and a citizen being harassed by a CP. Remember when you were pulled away from the   
                                                                group of people in line and were brought 
                                                                into questioning, only to be saved by Barney posing as a CP. Remember the fear that you felt when entering the
                                                                apartments only to be confronted with a Police raid. All these RP scenarios and more are possible which weren't with 
                                                                other maps, which makes this map unique.

 

I hope you consider the points I've posted above before you vote. Thank you

I will admit, this map is a work of art.

City 18 is without a doubt my favorite hl2rp map due to it's simplicity, however the size causes many problems as it is puny, and packs everyone in. I like that for some situations, and others it can be a problem.

As for lore, it is better to stray a little bit away from the whole City 17 thing to prevent HL2 cultists from #reking our server.

However, the map is much more light and provides larger living spaces, a larger nexus, and much nicer scenery. It all depends on what the community wants.


This is why my vote goes to:
Either/or. The community shall decide.
