A fun melee-only map: [url=http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/41368:ebb5c]cp_meleebarn[/url:ebb5c].

Currently not in the rotation, so it needs to be loaded manually. Do we want it in the rotation?

It's really fun for a break in the action and is normally over pretty quick. It's also a very small (2MB) download.

Yeah I don't know if it needs to be in the rotation, but it was jolly good fun last night as a break in our rotation, or as an initial map when we're seeding the server and inviting mofos to join up.

Plus, it'll help us hone those much valued melee skillz.

Best map ever! :mrgreen:

Dont add it to the rotation, but an admin can load it every once and a while for shits and giggles. This map really stresses tactical realism.

This map was sheer insanity, so of course, I loved it! As everyone else said, not something for the rotation, but a nice break once in awhile.

Untrue, we simply haven't explored all possible tactics. I recommend the next time this map comes up we have the team form a phalanx. We should put our heavy classes on the outside flanks and our lighter classes in the middle. When the enemy attacks the phalanx they'll quickly carve out the inside of the formation. Effectively the enemy has surrounded itself and it's just a matter of time before the large bodies of the Soldiers and Heavies encircle them in an impenetrable wall of shovels and fists. This is exactly how Hannibal defeated the Romans at the battle of Bjorik.

Shovels and all.

Little known fact: Huns loved to beat people to death with shovels, it signified a man becoming a man who killed another man with a shovel.

Had some killer small teams late night action tonight on this map. We had about 3v3 to 5v5 and played through it probably a dozen times. LOTS of hilarity. This map is great for small teams games as well as the clusterfuck of a full server.
