Your Server Sucks (and here's why)

We are stuck in this rut because terrain was removed, which allowed for seemingly unlimited room to build whatever. Ever since terrain's removal, TDMs have been confined to building-based, bordered, or island games, because the unlimited flatlands is an issue. With GSF, landscaped borders and more ideal environments can be made and will be made, so to lead us out of the rut.

landscapes aren't required to have a good on-foot TDM
for vehicle TDMs, sure, but vehicle TDMs are buggy as stuff. until that gets fixed you're better off making smaller-scale, interior-style DMs
and even then GSF is definitely not the wave of the future, forget's sake: people can and have used terrain bricks for almost everything. there's no finesse with GSF. if you're gonna do anything on-foot you're better off using just standard ol' default bricks, with maybe a few things from phydeoux for detailing

i've hosted way more than just vehicle TDMs
bushido makes crappy TDMs which he doesn't put any forethought into
^example of a stuffty ass claim that lacks backup
Bushido:
i'm pretty sure he's referring to the TDMs that you have actually used GSF terrain for
IE: your vehicle TDMs
those were completely not thought-out, though; there's no depth to the combat itself (which is the linchpin of a TDM in the first place) nor is there forethought or balancing on the vehicle's end- there was no real reason to choose any of the non-tank vehicles once you got onto the island, there was no reason to use any weapon besides the RPG or grenade launcher, and the only real strategy there was (which is critical for large-scale TDMs- the kind that would require any form of landscape in the first place) was "EVERYONE RUSH"
the formula was dull and had been done before and you were just riding out what you had already known to work without really moving forward or doing anything interesting with it. it wasn't particularly bad it just wasn't particularly good
it was overwhelmingly decent
Kaboomers:
Good job, Bushido. You proved why Counter Strike Source servers suck. That definitely applies to every server out there right now. You can't say that all server suck and then complain about one type of server. I like how everyone else is talking about the different kinds of servers. Good job guys. Bushido, don't title this "Your Server Sucks (and here's why)" If you're only going to rant about one single type of server.
