Stupid question, but I've been seeing some CS:S maps with the fy prefix. What exactly does that indicate?

Maps where there are weapons lying on the ground, and the only objective is to kill the other team. Usually fy maps are small and poorly made, although there are a few exceptions. The origional fy map was fy_iceworld. Nobody knows for sure who made it, but Pit and RD have claimed they made it (this is not true). fy could stand for many things, but the most common belif is "found you", followed by "f**k you".

I've also seen it referred to as "fun yard", "fantasy" or "fight yard". But it's probably just the intials of the original mapper, or something like that.

It's probably "fun yard". Or maybe it means nothing and this thread is pointless.

It means either "fun yard," "f**k you," or is meant to be nonsense.

I've always taken it as a "fook you" to all mappers who labor over their levels, planning, designing, retouching, scrapping, playtesting because by some unknown diabolical force, the fy map is gonna get more play.

That's a sad truth. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif"> You spent 3 months polishing a map, and a fy_ map made in 2 hours gets more attention on public servers than your map.

Isn't that because there are more fy maps than custom cs and de...
If it takes less time to make a fy map then surely there are hundreds and I myself when playing with friends like to play on stupid maps with gimmicks because they are quite fun!
I do prefer high detailed maps for ideas but they take longer to load and I believe after playing a fy map that the people on it like them more because:

1.They take less time to load
2.Sometimes more fun especially with traps and lots of glass...
3.Some people prefer gameplay and not detail so they don't mind either but some even said that they have no choice because there is a lack of custom cs and de maps...

/ This is what a vast majority said and it is actually quite scary :o

Well, what you said is true habboi. Which shows what complete idiots a lot of CS players are.

The thing I enjoy most about CS is the teamwork, trying to complete the objectives. I have loads more fun playing on Dust with friends (playing seriously), than I do playing with friends mucking around in Iceworld.

To tell you the truth, it is unfair, as Andrei said. You can spend ages building one particular map, and perfecting it to your best ability. But in the end, the majority of people who play custom maps don't want serious maps, they want maps to muck around in.

Sad fact, but it's the truth.

I played CS for exactly the same reasons as you Trapt. I never really got angry at the community, which seems the thing to do here and at most other forums. I always thought it was a great game and can't understand why people non-stop bitch and complain about it.

Anyways, then Plan of Attack came out. I've been playing it non-stop. There aren't any dumbasses on it, because that game requires uber-teamwork. PoA is, IMO, the best HL2 game out there, including HL2DM.

Apprently it means fight yard, but I personally believe it means f*** you.

I thought PoA was pretty good when it came out. I found it got boring quickly.

I did, and still do, think it had tremendous potential though.

Agreed. It's by no means perfect, but still the most entertaining thing on the HL2 engine at the moment.

What's your ingame name?

Actually its the initials of the original creator or something like that, not Fight yard or anything. I know the original creator of fy_iceworld... He does make normal maps too...

It means fun_yard ffs. End of the matter.

And Myrk- , read your post slowly and you'll see that your argument lacks logic (something like fy are the initials of the author because he also makes normal maps). <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/evilgrin.gif">

FunYard_iceworld doesn't make any sense either
