Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
There is no reason why smaller, counter-strike style maps cannot be made for interstate. Then you can have small numbers of players without spending hours trying to find them. Did anyone see my 'knife pit' map? That was very small with buildings and wood planks linking it all up. I think that the platform for the game is almost irrelevant. The graphics will only ever look good with care and detail. A series of 10 new maps should be thought and planned out. Racing maps should be unlike anything seen before. Conquest should be totally original. CTF is a brilliant game-type which is under-used. I may be wrong but I think the server has waaaaaaay to many maps on it for newcomers to actually comprehend. If I had not ever played on the server, I think I would get pretty bored downloading every map.
If you want to know ‘WHAT’ the future should be I think a ‘full week’ of Conquest maps ( Original and Sahara, Snipe maps :p ) Then, a ‘full week’ of CTF. This will give enough time for people to get used to playing conquest and see what new ideas come out. Having ‘conquest nights’ has never been very popular or worked very well from what I can see (They rarely or never happen).
The current theme still seems to be ‘who can make the next deathrace’ (myself guilty.. but hey.. my shits legendary.)
YOU MUST PUT 2 TEAMS ON SERVER! People are not used to actual combat play.. GET THE KILLING ON THERE!!! L’etranger made so may beautiful cars for the mod with weapons, suspension and little gimmicks but none of them are used. Everything is stratos and buggy.. This is due to the fact that the server does not allow any violence. Just single sided ‘everybody be nice and race’ rules. Fine for serious racing but how long does that last? 20/30 minutes…
The future of Interstate is Violence. A lot of it. x)
All of the current maps. In one installer that is 582 MB. Skins / Rich if would like like you can post alink to this in the map section. <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited 26 Apr : 19:47 ]</span>

Limon, would be cool but sunrise has smaller place to battle on and is far to restricted and race "ish", wouldnt fit good in any way less than racing i think.
