map rotation for custom map servers - standard maps ?

Post by spm97 » Wed Feb 13, 2008 5:49 pm

All,
Recently, I've seen the "random" maps that get put up on for vote on the custom servers (TV2 and TV4) tend to have the default if nothing wins the vote as the standard maps, like dustbowl. Could we pick a list of maps that come up in the vote and win a lot replace the default rotation for TV2 and TV4?

I would suggest, based on the map stats, that for the custom servers make the defaults be cp_warpath, cp_toy_fort, cp_castle3, cp_avantiville_b41 and ctf_avantiville_b42.

Some of those maps default to 60 minutes map time, and I'm not sure people would appreciate 60 minutes on a rotation map on a voting server.

I agree - 60 minute maps would be bad. Those maps were just a proposal. I would just like to see it not end up like it did once a few nights ago where most of the ville servers where on dustbowl, including both the custom servers, and the customs were empty. I logged in and rotated one to castle, and people starting joining.

Just my 2cents.

Please AVOID cp_well cause that map doesn't go too well on Ville servers..

Other than that I agree with Spam

Did anyone else have any feedback on this ? I think another thread got started along the same idea; I mean, I like dustbowl too....but we have a 24*7 dustbowl server.

Any comments/feelings on what the "defaults" should be ? I mean, Avanti is always popular - why not make it the default ???
