uhh rather small map...

It's ideal for 2-6 players, so of course it's small. Personally, I like small maps.

'tis meant to be small and FAST! Certainly gets frantic playing with just bots.

Yes indeedy.
Even the pathetic bots posed a challenge on this map in 2v2.

Try and imagine how hard it would be if the AI was even close to UT2003 standards...
I'd certainly lower my skill level when playing it!

lol, wouldn't it be cool if DB reached the level of popularity that Counter-strike reached? I can just see Epic purchasing the rights to the completely bug-free Deathball mod and turning it into a stand-alone game.
Sure chances of that are slim, but I think it'd be kinda cool.
MORE DEATHBALL FOR EVERYONE!

first, the Deathball formula needs to be pefectd and the community heeds to agree on something soon or more people will lose interest in DB

Alars

I'm just curious, how far off is the final release?

I've actually stopped doing anything with DB, untill DavidM and the rest of the team get their act together and sort out the many problems with this mod.
There are now less people on the servers than before Christmass and Version 1.3b. The gameplay has had some extreme changes done to it which effect what makes a good map design, especially if you're trying to avoid Cube clones. This not only hacks off players who have to learn new skills, but also mappers who find what was a nicely balanced map has to be re-balanced everytime a new version comes out.
So until they finalise this mod I'm not doing anything else but play the occasional game...

It saddens me to hear that, but I understand your reasons.

I'll still help you out though if your not sure of something.
