October TV7 map vote.

[Gizanked]

So here is what the TV7 rotation has been updated to taking the last voting thread into consideration.
-this will run over the next 2 or so weeks until October.


cp_dustbowl
cp_foundry
pl_upward
cp_fastlane
pl_badwater
cp_process_final
pl_thundermountain
cp_badlands
pl_goldrush
cp_gullywash_final1
pl_frontier_final
cp_freight_final1

ctf_sawmill


We would like to hear the community's input by having you all tell us the following:

Which CTF map would you like in the rotation? to change it out or keep it as is.
Which map do you want us to remove from the general maps?
Which map would you like us you add in its place?


respond here and remember to add in a CTF an ADD and a REMOVE

as a reminder Hydro cannot be added because it will remove the server from the quick play filter.

Add: cp_standin_final

Remove: CP_Freight_Final_1


Keep CTF Sawmill as is since we haven't had it in the rotation yet (or was just added)!

Remove: freight
Add: barnblitz

Any chance of dropping the ctf and changing it to one koth? With no koth server, it would be a great change up and a nice break between longer maps. Might be nice for October to go with harvest.....

I wouldnt mind seeing:

CTF 2 Fort added back. Especially after a not-so popular with the general public map like gullywash. Good way to get the server re-populated with fresh-meat. Also a nice throw-back.

Indeed, i second this.

Harvest Event would be great.

They've said repeatedly in the past that KotH is disabled as it would empty the server for two maps: the change to KotH and the change back from KotH. I'd agree in adding it otherwise.

Hmm, hadn't heard that in my time here. WOuld it be any worse than how it does that for ctf?

So I went ahead and looked for refrences to KotH and TV7. This is the only post that I found that really talked about why, and its very brief.

So let's give this a go:

MAPCYCLE
So the plan will be to replace one map with another each month. In May, we'll start a thread where people nominate the map to be replaced and the map that will replace it.

The updated mapcycle has no Barnblitz this month. I have added Foundry and Hoodoo.
I have removed Turbine and Doublecross, as these maps for some reason, annoy so many people. I'd like a CTF in there at some point, but we'll give this a go this month and see how it fairs.

Some people suggested adding custom maps such as the 'pro' versions of maps.
The deal is that this server is stocks only and there is no downloading of maps. TV2 will serve that purpose.

Others have consistently suggested Hydro - don't get me wrong, I love Hydro as a map and it brings back many happy memories of 2007. But, and this is a big but, we lose Quickplay when Hydro is on. So I'm afraid Hydro will not be a part of TV7. Having said that, there is no reason not to organize a Hydro night on TV2.

I also saw some people suggest KOTH, but KOTH does funny things to the server, hence TV3.


SERVER SETTINGS
I am thinking like Stevo, that the Quickplay is more beneficial than Fast Respawns.
So we'll remove the plugin and revert to stocks. That will make a lot of people very happy.

We will also look at settings for each map and see if we can make maps like DB and Freight shorter.

Maybe I saw it in the chatbox or something? Want to re-explain it here Dog?
Also, is this the wrong place to put this? You can get rid of it if you need to.

Basically, the issue with KOTH is that it empties the server. The public at large who enjoys most of the maps doesn't tend to stick around for KOTH, and the people who join for KOTH tend to leave as soon as it goes back to another format. A KOTH map in the middle of the rotation therefore kills the population twice in a row, and it frequently won't recover from the double whammy. Possibly related: most KOTH maps are unenjoyable spamfests with 24 people, which is why TV3 was capped at 18.

[YoullNeverWalkAlone]

So noted and suggestion withdrawn. I've never had much desire to play on a KotH only server, but have enjoyed them as single maps, especially during the VC or Halloween events.

Oooh yeah! Gravelpit in, freight out!

2 fort is always a fan favorite
