First, I have to say that Bam has done an excellent job so far in cleaning up the CAx code base.
While it isn't perfect yet -- needs death messages, seen a player's frags mysteriously reset to 0 mid-match for no reason, maybe some bronzing of text to look cool, etc. -- it is a lot better than just a few of days ago.
CAx is REALLY starting to take shape.
--------
I know I'm not the first and only one to say this, but the best thing 2 things about bomber.ironrocket.com Clan Arena server is not being forced to play DM3 (the other one is it not having the crippled rockets of CA+ where damage is capped at 100).
Last night, I got to play some CA matches on A2, BMANGO, Skull and, of course, Sanity. I've played some on UltraV and other maps I can't remember.
As it turns out, the architecture of maps such as Sanity and A2 really force you have to use some skills that never get used on DM3 or Q1EDGE map (rarely run, but available on CA+).
Rocket jumping is more important, strategic grenades are more important and (you don't end up fighting in the water
)
It'd say, to me at least, is that being able to play CA on maps other than DM3 has been a nice change and I actually stay on the server because I *want to*, unlike many times in CA+ where in the past I'd stay on the server some extra games out of peer pressure, but not because I really wanted to play any more DM3.
[There's nothing wrong with loving DM3 -- a lot of CA players DO ... I'm just saying it is cool have an alternative server to play on if you like CA but aren't a DM3 fan ... choice is important]
