I'd suggest removing one of the ctf's (I prefer to keep turbine myself).

Is payload the most popular format? Is there any map we've had in the past that would/should be added?

I was thinking we might want to reduce the number of maps in the rotation. Also, maybe we should group game modes together instead of constantly switching modes.

I think this would help. The people who like to play Payload might leave when they realize CP or CTF is up next, and vice versa.

Leading with a popular map would be a good idea as well. I don't know how well-liked Thunder Mountain is nowadays, but I recall it got a very lukewarm reception upon release, so it might be a turnoff for people seeing it as the leading map. Badwater, on the other hand, was a fan favorite that often seeded successfully back when I was more active in TF2, so it might be good to bring it back as the leading map.

The mapcycle has no beginning or end. If the server restarts, it loads cp_dustbowl. The leading map is really whatever one people decide to seed on.

Just posting to say I have no opinion. I enjoy rotation and will happily keep playing whatever comes up if I'm playing.

I'm for keeping the rotation short. If I play for two hours I shouldn't play the same map twice, but if I'm on for longer...
I recall that logging in at about the same time every night meant I saw the same maps each night and played the same three all the time.
Perhaps radical, but what if we cut it to 6-8 maps? Or toggled a map choice at the end of the last round where players voted for the next map from a selection of just a few maps?

If we're looking to cut a few maps I'd say ctf_doublecross, pl_barnblitz and cp_foundry.

I really don't get to play much on 7 but I agree with the general comment about reducing the overall rotation size - cut a few of the unpopular maps.

pl_upward
cp_granary
cp_coldfront
koth_harvest_final
ctf_turbine
pl_badwater
pl_frontier_final

That's a good mix of popular maps that has a nice balance between cp and pl with a ctf and koth thrown in. Think it would be interesting.

Is it worth putting out an announcement about the rotation change on the main page? It is fairly significant.
