I'm not looking to be inflammatory either. I have my concerns and opinions and here I am sharing them with whoever wants to hear them. My aim is to reduce or eliminate confusion and decrease people being frustrated with mismatches that lead to uninstalls. People who bought the the ECE of UT2004 got Deathball in it. If they are on dialup and want to play, it's bad enough to get a Deathball version mismatch, but stock map mismatches too?! WTF!

Here. For demonstration’s sake I’ll start with Deathball 1.4, where TeamVortex presented it all to the world. They said here, [iTHIS is deathball.u and THIS is DB-Cube.ut2…etc… and it was good.
But soon it was followed by “oh.. no.. wait. THIS is deathball.u now and THIS is DB-Cube.ut2..” Lather, rinse, repeat.

Break this association that the original map names are in stone and must be reused. They aren't required honorific titles. The sequels and improvements shouldn't have the same name!

I understand the problem, and it's definitely a valid point to make :o

But I'm just saying that maybe it wouldn't be wise to have so many different versions of deathball (that includes the maps) around.

Having a community split between 2.3 and 2.4 is bad enough :(

I have a server and from what I've seen(I tried both) I prefer 2.3 because it's more fun and realistic to play in my pov and I'm sticking with 2.3 until I see something that changes my mind.
PES = 2.3 and Fifa = 2.4 :lol:

The NA Community tried 2.4 when it came out. And yah we had lots who hated it and lots who wanted to try it more, etc just like always. but what happened was that 1. we were in a current league season with 2.3 so we mostly had to stick with it, and 2. it became known that there wasn't really going to be team (TV) together to update 2.4 and fix the problems.

I think if a team was there to update 2.4 we would have went back to it and stuck with it... at least that's what happened with all other new versions.

I could donate :O
Maybe more people will be able to.

After all, money is a good motivator :\

*tries to bribe TV into making a new version*

sorry to admit it......

but alone to compare deathball with football games doesnt make sense

plus:

i dont know if you ever played those two games cause im not sure what in 2.3 looks similar to pes

i mean cmon..... where is the simulation there?

IMO: 2.4c is more tactical than 2.3
2.3 is more about creativity and good situationadaption

gay face killer, You are wrong.

he simply implied that PES5 is more tactical than FIFA...and to be honest ITS A FACT.

stateing facts is obvious, stating opinions is another.
