Map Rotation

[Maverick]

Hey all,

 

Just a quick question, would we be able to have the map rotation reviewed? I don't want this to sound selfish..but I love Hourglass..and I think it would keep the server more interesting if the rotation was more dynamic.

 

Just a suggestion, two cents w/e lol.

 

cheers.

More Dynamic in what way?

[Strike]

Dynamic in what way indeed? you referring to new maps like: Hourglass, Core-patch maps?

[Maverick]

Dynamic in a sense of perhaps each month the Map Rotation list changes, and some maps are rotated out and back in. I hope im making sense lol

I love trying new maps in an AOW server.

 

But they have to be balanced between Nod and GDI (and not stupidly big).

 

Try Uphill and Niagra.

 

I think Tomb has been a  great sucess and Siege is still one of my faves.

 

With respect to Hourglass, try it without hillcamping? That way it promotes teamplay as you have to organise a Med, Stank, Flamer rush to win.

I think Hourglass would boost server numbers. I've seen 6+ hour matches on this map with 50+ players.

 

I know it gets sickening after a while.

So maybe rotate it back out after a month just to keep the server fresh.

(Better yet, take out the base defenses, and make it a flying map.)

 

Maybe we could rotate out a few maps each month.

Have the community nominate a map (3+ posts for the same map to get nominated).

Then poll all the maps that were nominated and put the Top pick(s) into rotation.

 

Seems like we kinda do this now, just make it a little more organized.

Hourglass gets VERY tedious I'm sure a lot f other people agree.

I don't see why people are requesting changes to the rotation so soon since the last, maybe give the current rotation a proper chance first

[Maverick]

I never said that I didn't like the current rotation. I was only suggesting that perhaps the rotation gets "rotated" more often. I'm pretty new here, and I'm not sure how often it changes.

 

I'm a huge fan of the RxD maps, as this keeps the game interesting, instead of playing through the same core patch maps over and over. My original post was just a suggestion, because I feel others would also appreciate Hourglass being back in the mix from time to time.

 

Whether the suggestion is acted on, is completely out of my hands.. I'm just voicing my opinion, and giving others the opportunity to agree or disagree.

 

cheers.

In my opinion the rotation is perfect the way it is.

 

Still, some new maps being dynamically in- and excluded doesn't sound bad - while I would hate to play hourlong hourglass games again, so if you add it, please with hillcamping or that risk is pretty great.

 

And btw. I love the server numbers being around 4 - 35 players these last weeks, more than 30-40 mostly sucks, as it gets harder and harder to make a difference individually resp. to do effective teamplay (besides the old stank rushes).
