What would you rather duel in?

For me, and a lot of people I find that traditional levels like battle 1 or ctf 3 are the best places to duel and prove your strengths. But some people make these little duel levels with bad gameplay and weird eyecandy and powerups side-by-side. Not me though. :P

Traditional levels! Definitely! It always takes ages for me to learn to know a new level.

Traditional levels. Why? Because custom levels are sometimes unfair.

people often hide nasty secrets in home-made duel levels, just to make sure the opponent cant win. So traditional levels are better, however, someone can be excellent in battle1, because he knows all tricks, but can in fact be a real bad battler in home-made levels.

I prefer to duel in traditional levels. If someone wants to duel me in a custom level I decline.

Homemade levels. After all, some of YOU guys design those kinds of levels. And some people are better at the traditional levels than others. I think if one can beat an opponent on a custom level and traditional level more than once, they can cope with the changes. I like custom levels because the old ones got extremely BORING after awhile.

Exactly!!!!! A lot of people here only want to fight in default levels (like Battle1 and Capture3), and then they defeat many people and think they're very good. But there are many other good fighters who just don't play/hate/aren't good in default levels..

What I think is that the best levels for dueling are the traditional default levels, and VERY good quality homeade levels with good gameplay and the right ammo in the right spots. These are called BATTLE levels. Not DUELING levels. There's a difference!

Cool

Depends...

On the one hand, most people know the default levels by now.

On the other...

I think that if the levels were specially designed to be completely even, and if there were no secrets or hidden elements, then these levels would be the best duel levels.

Something open, easily navigated, and a complete mirror of itself, in design and powerups. I theorize that this would be the ideal dueling condition, creating an arena like battleground.

Of course, this is just a theory.

My preference...

If i duel, I usually prefer to play in...
Hells Angels! I am invincible there. As Krezack (20 kills to 1).
Otherwise, I do like battle 2. I'm good at that level.

Definately custom levels...

I couldn't possibly stand playing the same thing over and over again.

Plus custom levels offer players a new challange and it requires them to get used to the level first before you can dominate the opposition.

defalcon, no doubt that you're good, you've been doing this a lot, at least more than Slizer, it will take time before he goes back up to your level.

I almost forgot, I like traditional levels over homemade ones because I am more familiar with them and unless they have been tampered with, they don't contain hidden warps to powerups that only the server knows.

If I do chose homemade levels, I choose old, public ones like Martin's Silent Slayers or Shadow's Clan Wars Series.

Thanks (I think) for the compliment Lamer . Although Krez can be really evil, like when he exploits that little 'immune to attacks' bug.
