well when i play smallcube on pubs, smallcube server is full 90% of the time playing 5v5 and even specs are waiting...just voicing an opinion, consider it at least.
Cudnt play it yet (graphics card is dead) but i *think*its nice.
p.s. 2on2 on pubs = teh sux, but 2on2 with 2 organised duos with their own tactics = leet
Ceilings or no ceilings, its not spam. only new players spam that have no sence of tactics. I know a few players use the ceiling with skill, if you think a ceiling is spammy, well then so are walls... not a whole lot of it is random. but I do think it might appear that way to someone who is not used to the tactics behind it. like in VO seting passes to other people off the ceiling. which can be a great tactic cuz the keeper looks up to follow the ball and then down and by time he gets his barrings the shot is already heading at the net.
so yeah its good to take out the ceiling for the sake of new players. but don't call it 'spammy' - spam is just the biproduct of new players hitting the ball randomly. nothing to do with the map unless you put a billion wacky angles on all the walls in random directions..
it looks cool to me. i'd sorta be happy to see old small cube go. but it'll be back DB-OldSmallCube unfortunately.
the spam just happens. you defend a ball via volley...against the ceiling, it goes up and down, and the lucky player gets it or volleys it right in. nobody does it on purpose.
