View Full Version : 6 Player Stick Arena, plus new Classic Maps!
It's here - 6 Player Stick Arena, plus new Classic Maps.
Using your feedback, we've updated and improved just about every one of Stick Arena's original maps (Don't worry - we kept XGen HQ just the way you like it).
Since there are a few different ways to get a 6-player game going, I'll explain exactly how it works. To start, you'll need at least one player with a Lab Pass. If only one player is playing with a Lab Pass, that player will need to VIP at least 2 other players and then create a game, making sure that the VIP'd players joins last. Another way to get a 6 player match going is to have 2 Lab Pass player join a game in progress that already has 4 players - how about a 3v3 match? (or 2v4, if you're feeling lucky!)
Here's another way to look at it; there are 2 'reserved' spots in every game for players with Lab Passes. Players with a Lab Pass as well as those that have been VIP'd by the game creator can join games with 4 players already in them (up to the new maximum of 6 players per game).
What does all this mean? Well, you'll probably want to get yourself a Lab Pass, but you should also keep in mind that Player Join Order is important when some players don't have Lab Passes, or when not everyone has been VIP'd.
Now go play a 6 player free-for-all, or organize yourself a 3v3 (or 2v2v2?) Team Deathmatch.
Happy Fragging!

^ For some people, though it doesn't seem so. You have to clear everything before you go in, Xgen's really trying to sell those..

From what I saw, "the pit" now has water in it. "brawlers" now has 2 hammers. and "workplace" now has some space tiles and drawers in the middle of the room.

This was before I have actually logged in, I take back my comment. The new maps fail for real.

Was really fun when I tried it out last week. ;)

I guess more players in the game is cool and the fact that you updated the maps (what did you do?) is pretty nice, but lab passes? Again? It's a sad day when your favorite gaming website forgets about the non-paying person.

A non-lab pass player can still enjoy the 5-6 player mode as long as someone with a labpass "blesses them" with their presence.
The classic maps are alright now, I suppose, look-wise. But by editing the flow of the map by moving/adding/removing weapons, it seems to have... 'ruined' the originality.

Oh wow. This gives me a reason to start playing sa again.
Nice update XGen.
Decent update, maps should be optional to play newer/older versions though.

I don't like the changes that were made so far, for starters, I don't how there is now lava in a sewer map, how does that make sense, lava shouldn't be in a sewer, and in sundayvile trailer park, the extra cover near the shotgun just makes it easier to get kill by people using melee weapons, even if you're not a shotgun camper, it makes grabbing the shotgun less convenient, the rest I've played were just minor detail changes, frankly I don't see the point of there being a sledgehammer in the arena with a dead-end shotgun that can be shot through, and storm drain is still too gun friendly!
So yeah, so far I don't like the changes, because all of them that I've encountered are pointless, unneeded, or for the worse rather than for the better, and worse still, they no longer feel like classic maps, which were, by the way, timeless to begin with!
Until the classic maps are restored back to their original states, I'm not going to get lab pass anytime soon, and yes I was thinking about getting one, but being forced to think that my money will just be spent on bad updates, is not comforting.

Yes i don't like the changes made to the classic maps, most of the office maps are cluttered.

Good god. You people can never be pleased...You cry that the maps are so old, that there isn't enough things. You all won't like the game 100%, you never will, so learn to be appreciative of what you have.

I know you changed the maps up and 6 player action. But it is stupid that you need a lab pass to join a match that already has 4 or 5 players in it.

i think its cool that skye made this update. 3v3s are fun. who knows? maybe he will make it for non-LabPassers after a little while. :)

10-19-2009, 03:26 PM
Well what if it doesn't go non-lab passers? Who knows, Shane.

I doubt they will make it for non-lab pass players since they need it to make profit.
btw, your sig is way too big, might want to change it before you get warned :-O

maybe for like an event type deal, like i remember they made labpass, available for like 48 hours to everybody...
that was cool, maybe it will happen again:D

wait. when I played SAB, it was just 4 players. is it a glitch?

I just wanted to make it known that I love this update, the only downfall is that the servers seem to be more laggy. Good job with this update.

You have to own a Lab-Pass or get VIP'd by a Lab-Pass holder to play 6/5 player mode.

Strange Sean. I Played A 6 Player Game Without Getting Vip'ed. Three Times.
Glitch??
Liokae
10-26-2009, 10:59 AM
Not a glitch. lab Pass players can join games until there's six people. If you have a game with four non-Lap Pass people, then you can sill have two more Lap Pass players join. It's a function of the person joining, not of whether or not the game is a Lap Pass game.

No, the 6-Player update DEFINATELY made the in-game more laggy. Even if it's only four people or less.
