We need to work on our map cycle. 

Right now there is way too much dm on it.  Personally I think we should have mainly CTF maps and then since we can't change the time for the dm maps, we should have maybe 20 percent dm.

Here is what I think our map cycle should be:

dm gunball

ctf warpath

avanti when we get it

powerplant

2 fort

defrost football

nfs b2( the football map where it's all blue)

ctf 2fort sniper v7

and add 2 or 3 more dm maps whatever they may be.... also if possible, maps should have a length of 30 minutes with the option to extend map another 15 minutes.

Those should be our core maps.

 

These and 2 others should be our optional maps to vote on if possible.  If not, put these in the rotation and vote them in or out accordingly:

ctf well

ctf bedroom warfare

ctf export final

ctf shipping

with each map being 30 minutes, I feel that we have more than enough.  We can always change up the maps once everyone hates a map, and we can also have 1 map of the week in the rotation and have a vote for it at the end of the week.

Here is a few suggestions for add on right now:  Dm_catwalk extreme  and dm or ctf simpsons

Catwalk extreme is a cool map that is good for sniping as well...  and simpsons is cool, but i haven't played it enough to see if it's fun or not.  I have both in my maps folder so if you guys want to try them out let me know and i'll get them to yuck or pit to put on.

Now i'm gonna do tons of work and comment on every map i see that is a possibility.

aim arena... i don't really like it and seeing as how we have gunball, we have magnum practice already.

2 fort... bored of it but we need this maps for our scrims so we gotta have it for now.

2 fort sniper v7 ..... haven't played much of it yet, but it shows promise

bedroom warfare.... it's an ok map

defrost football... personally i like the version with the ladder you can go up through the middle so hopefully we can get that version

export final.... ok map i guess...

nfs b2 ... good map that's quite fun

pedestal... don't totally like it but don't totally hate it

powerplant... another one of my fav's

stone fort... ok map but might be too big until we get more players

warpath... awesome map

well..... pretty good map

anacogrid... don't like it that much... i'll just camp in walls

gunball ... awesome map that's fun and good to practice magnum with

island... ok for a dm map

lego... sick of it but if you guys like it......

fubar arena... might be fun, but haven't played it much yet... might be an orb whore map.. but i think we should give it a shot(maybe the map of the week)

goobcity... don't really like it... really big and harder to get weapons and has some cool features, but I don't think it's that fun.

silent hill....... big map with not much to do.... looks good at first... but let's take it out

titanic... haven't played enough, but let's give it a shot

4 towers... hope this isn't that huge map with the twin towers or whatever it is.. way too huge and gets boring

shipping... a little played out, but it could help us on our passing the rock and jumping on pads.  good map to build teamwork on

Any map that I didn't comment on I don't know much about yet.

Basically, in this order, this should be our rotation:

dm gunball

ctf warpath

dm or flavour of the week*

nfs b2( the football map where it's all blue)

avanti when we get it (for now just pick another ctf map)

powerplant

ctf 2fort sniper v7

dm or flavour of the week*

defrost football (need to seperate the football maps to keep it fresh)

2 fort (sick of it but we need it for scrims so put it at the end)

 

* 2 dm maps maps (other than gunball) with 1 of them being the flavour of the week or 2 weeks (ctf or dm).  Personally I suggest to try out simpsons, catwalk extreme, fubar arena, titanic, and oh yeah i have dm dojo too.

that's basically 10 maps.  with 30 min a piece, that will span 3 hours and it will be long enough to not repeat maps and short enough to see your favorite maps.

Now everyone comment...........

i'm glad to see the  2 fotts and the footballs, but I AM EXTREMELY GLAD TO SEE THE DM ONES. We need lockdown as  a permanent map on the cycly. It is a good map because it attracts people plus its dm, and playing dm makes you better!!!!! othere than that the map cycle is BEAST!!!!

Took me some time to process all that information lol. Personally, I am not as opposed to dm maps as you are. I kind of like them. It's fun to go out and just kill, kill, and kill. I like the maps that you suggested vince although sniper could be replaced by another popular map. We want to get the server as popular as possible and popular maps is the way. That is why I suggest aim arena. That should be in the cycle. Pit has that map practically 24/7 on his server and people seem to like it. We also need to take out stone fort. The server is not populat yet so big maps are out for now. That means bedroom warfare too but that could be a voteable map. I also like the flavor of the week idea, voting maps in or out of the cycle could be done when we get our website up and running. I will try to play dm_catwalk extreme and dm or ctf simpsons to see how they are. We need to get the automatic voting system operational and a list of maps as well, both the ones in the cycle and the votable ones. As I said, the more people the better. I was playing with prez today in the 2fort map, and we had about 14 people playing. It was really fun, even some of the players said so. So maps, maps, and maps are VERY important to expand and maintain the popularity of the server. If I can think of any more maps that should be included I'll post it.

Glad you agree with the format.  Variety is something we def will do, but we also have to keep the best maps in to keep the server populated and that's why I thought of the flavour of the week or 2 idea.  Then we can always vote in or vote out some maps.
