When I played VC I always liked the forrest/jungle maps the most.
Stream was the best map ever in my mind.
I never cheated in contests but I got kicked/banned many times each week for playing too well!
Ask PimpCong "Jimmy" aka [TKC] Lavaplotz....he was in a very-anti "extra" clan I was an officer in back in the day.
Man we had alot of fun back in those days and our clan ran -3- 64 player servers as well while Fate from Auscong was trying to bash us.
Later I was one of the four TKC Admin/Mods who ran the 64 player Stream Public server that was always filed with players which was hosted by Stockie in Berlin,DE (one hell of a good guy).
Ka@s and Kiwi know me very well on there server back in the day under the nic of Giant Midget and I schooled a few of thier clan in the art of "Old Man" style camping and control of choke points.
I always managed a 10/1 ratio in most servers...cheat free.
