it seems like a huge waste all these mappers working very hard to create a map and they hardly get played, custom maps are refreshing as im sure everyone is aware playing the same old maps all the time can get stail - so please i know most of us mappers support custom map servers but we need to do more, promote the servers within your clan, your friends, your community. its rather sad to see these maps not being played as much as they should :'( but if we all start doing our part to promote them - custom maps can only get more popular.

DSSG is hosting a custom map server that plays a lot of the good custom maps that kustom kettle doesn't play, along with paras. Although it isn't set up entirely yet, you can check www.dssgr.net for info, downloads, and our forums to see when it comes up. All downloads are packed with spead bean's steam friendly installer. You can download our party map pack to play in the server with the maps on there now.

i heard my para map was on that server :O

is there a list of servers that play custom-maps?!?

People live in a shell..

Map because you love it, not because you want "internet fame" ;D

I map because I enjoy it.

btw ... every single player in my clan could'nt give a rats arse about custom maps :(

Anyone thinking of a doing a Custom Map leauge?

that could be cool

Remember all the "with steam you'll be able to download map packs" blah blah blah. Well WTF has this not surfaced yet? All we've had are:
dod_flugplatz; dod_switch; dod_escape. ALL OFFICIAL.

There were hints at custom map packs, but once again it seemed valves PR had eyes bigger than their stomachs (as it were), encouraging false promises.

There really should be sometihng DONE about custom maps WITH steam. IT could STILL BE DONE. DOD TEAM ARE YOU LISTENING??! (I know maybe this rant should be in the Steam forums were it would get the correct attention)

Just think:
When you start up DOD there could be something like in the top right hand Corner: "Download Kustom Kettle Mappack #1"; etc. Mappacks which, although not containing OFFICIAL maps, could be officially recognised by DOD as a separate map pack, for use on certain servers only.

Everyone get that?
