Why not? It's a PB2 map. Why should it even be CONSIDERED for exclusion when:

1) It's a PB2 map without anything profane, inappropriate, or rule-breaking.
2) It's a regular map made by a regular person.
3) It's a common map that many people play.
4) It's a famous example of a category of maps that people play.

I see absolutely zero reason why stryde-sniper should not be allowed in PB2.5

If you read what I said, all pb2 maps work on pb2.5 so no one is excluding stryde-sniper.

Its up to the map creator if he wants to make a pb2.5 version.

The only *almost invalid* reasoning I can see with people wanting to exclude stryde-sniper is the average 'omg snipers are overrated xd' and the typical 'we need more maps other than stryde-sniper :c'

I personally don't like the map, but I don't want it excluded. There's just no point nor any real/valid reason to do so, plus it's just a map that doesn't do any harm to anyone whatsoever.

I think stryde-sniper is way too damn overrated. You see, one of the only approved maps people play now is stryde-sniper. No one really cares about other maps, other than those DM maps that get boring after a while. All K/D-obsessed competitive players go to stryde-sniper. This map alone brings all other maps down. I'm not saying it's not good. I'm not saying you shouldn't play it. I'm saying that we should be more open to other types of maps. The maps that people make, and get approved but after that get little attention. Approved maps that few people play are as good as unapproved maps, because people wouldn't even play on that map but rather go to more popular maps to increase their K/D. Stryde-sniper also has camping spots which haven't been removed for more than a year, has a generic layout which all other sniper maps now have, and gets boring after you play it for more than a year!

Dat chain-reaction cliché.


So you ask me, why do you still play stryde-sniper? I play it only to increase K/D, and I play it only because everyone else is playing it. Then why not play the DM maps? DM maps have loads of damn tryhards (e.g. iFusion) with zero concern of other's experiences. Playing on those maps only decreases K/D (unless you're one of those tryhards), not increase it. If you're lucky enough not to run into them while playing these maps, good for you!

That said, I think stryde-sniper should not be even be in PB2.5. It ruined PB2, and many players are not even playing the game because of this map (if they hate this map they won't play it, but then there're almost no other popular approved maps to play in) and also all of the boring base and school maps which cannot even help your K/D. PB2.5 should be open to newer maps, newer players and a larger variety of approved maps that people can play on to increase their K/D and have fun at the same time. It's a new update, so why not?

Of course it will be imported along with every other map that has been made. Even if it didn't, Stryde or someone else could just recreate it.

Besides flame war and off-topic posting I guess there's nothing you do here anyway right?

You're the one who has nothing to do besides flaming and shitting other users. Leave it.
Chakra and NNC, no need to provoke him. Please keep the discussion polite.


On topic: I can only say that I hate it when people prefer old school maps over this big variation of well designed maps we have right now. Stryde-sniper should be converted into 2.5, but it should never be approved there as well as all the other poorly designed maps that players usually play.

And here we go, this community brought to its freaking knees again by nothing more than drama. This is why I quit pb2 in the first place, to ensure that my sanity remains intact. When PB2.5 comes out, hopefully, with the new and improved plazmaburst, the community will also improve.

In any case, it is a popular map, and I say with a few tweaks, and the addition of a new sniper rifle, I say that stryde-sniper can stay. However you do have a point with this. Currently, there are very few ranked matches that I see, that aren't eric gurt-railwars1, eric gurt-railwars2 and stryde-sniper with INSANE 65+ Ranking. I suggest that at least some people try to play other maps rather than leaving just a few matches on the washington server.

Edit: By request of Monovalent, two posts were merged.

i think that stryde sniper which it is a classic map should be there although stryde will decide if he wants or not. if he won't then it doesn't matter because there are many other sniper maps. if yes then he can add colors and what else he wants. his opinion will matter

Basically this says it all.

Why do you start a topic if you are going to cry about other people's opinion that it should be converted?

You guys act like one single map will destroy PB2.5. Half of you ranting about this map being a cancer sound like whiny b!tches who either 1. Were never good at this style of combat in the game or 2. Never saw the bigger picture of this map.

Sure, it may be mainstream, but you can't argue that it sure did bring a shock wave of activity in the game. People liked it. And as stated above, someone will always duplicate it regardless so
