Potential new maps for 5v5

[nickaero]

We have been discussing in the community new maps to add to the servers to play 5v5, in both our pickup matches aswell as maybe in the official tournaments and the 3 maps we settled with are:

Molten Cliffs:

Full Moon:
https://lvlworld.com/shot/id:1705/s:ts_dm5

Chastity Belt (ospdm8), which is already in the ranked server map pool.

These maps have a good balance of open and closed areas, memorable layouts and overall they should be pretty nice to play in our 5v5 Freezetag mode.
Would like to hear what you think adminless and if its possible to add these 2 new maps to ranked server and maybe also glacius.

ts_dm5 is actually already installed on the ranked servers as we speak just as ts_dm5tmp which is the "proper" (allegedly) version for team games which is what we (mostly) do here. quite frankly, that's yet another hardcore tdm map of the likes of ospdm6, teddm1, cpm4a, wdw3team1, poq3dm5, q3shw14 etc etc only that out of all them (and more) I'd say that that's probably the very worst of them. yes, that map could be fun for one of those massive (8vs8 onwards) one off community events, for a regular 5vs5 tournament of the likes here that would be pretty much unplayable. I mean, way worse than cpm4a which was not even playable at glacius for random pub games at all. ospdm8, it's cool map and I like it so I guess that it could be added at some point if there's interest on that but I don't really think it really brings anything else that isn't already there thus I'm not sure whether it's really worth/makes sense the add given how large the pool already is. as for that moltencliffs map never heard of it before, I just had a quick look at it now and it seems like it's just a quake champions map remake in the likes of the already added bloodcovenant with kind of a ztn vibe to it so I think that could probably be a worthy addition however I don't know if it has been played long enough around here as to already determine that it can be added for a potential tournament. in any case, I just added it now to the ranked servers in case you wanna go playing/testing that in case it gets added in the future.

Thanks, I would still like you to add Molten Cliffs so we can try to play on our 5v5 pickups, and hey if it sucks to play we will just ignore it, if it works we will get back to you and maybe add it to the tournament pool.

sure, as I wrote in the closing sentence I just added that new moltencliffs map to both ranked servers now so you can give it a play. as said, I think that if the map gets played and it works good that one can be added the rest are probably not worth. ospdm8 is pretty much more of the already same in the pool just much more specific (that map in reality is only a hardcore duel map without much play beside there or small ffa games at most) so I guess that at best it could be added as a replacement and to be honest ts_dm5tmp is just random garbage that would really play horrible here.
