sooo most of this thread are rutzy's complains so ill add some of myself here.
tribun = teh suckage.
all it needed was new stuff like post sounds and cams and a bigger penalty zone.

curve = teh evil.
i dont see how getting rid of the backwall is gonna improve gameplay at all......... ZBN are prolly the only team who play it as our home map in the league but now it sucks so much we will prolly take cube or november like EVERY FUCKING ONE else. i understand that some teams require a flat back wall so they can volleywhore the other team into destruction but i honestly dont think this was neccesairy at all.

1.7 is a great version imho just need some small things fixed. and
PLEASE for the love of god put crouching back in. i found it pretty usefull at times and miss it now.

I second Harold's comment. Curve has been ruined as of the latest version

... it is now too short and fat and the flat back wall is very bad (and much uglier too). Bring back the old DB-Curve PLEEEEEEEEASSEE!!

Not played much of other maps except Cube thanks to most servers not having much of a maplist. Was never a fan of Tribun but it was good in that it allowed different style of play. It is now too cube-like and didn't need to be made so big.

Apart from that I have no other real complaints, clan-games and pubs are still fun too play

ok let me then explain how crouching is actually quite usefull.
say i want to receive a pass. if i stand still the ball will go straigth to me making it easy for a defender to do something about it. if i move sideways however i have to KEEP moving till the ball gets to me. any long pass will get me seriously out of position. so a setting in between standing still and moving would help a lot actually. like walking or crouching. its not crouching im after just a slower movement.

Nice use of crouch I guess. And possibly the best reason I've heard to bring it back.

I'm still not too convinced tho. A defender would not find it that much harder to block a pass to a slow moving attacker to that of a stationary one.

for me 1.7 is great. chargeup sound being much quieter is a huge improvement and vollies and boost goals have been toned down, which is good.

what makes me angry is that crouch was taken out...

WTG I CAN'T DO MY VICTORY DANCE ANYMORE!!

anyway other than that 1.7 is a huge improvement over 1.6
