So, for at least the time being (probably at least this weekend and maybe a week or two) you will be back on a map rotation instead of a map vote. That’s right, no vote @ 3:00, no rock the vote, no nothing. We’ve culled the map list down to very few in hopes that you won’t see a map that is so bad that you won’t play it. If there is, come post it and we can pull it. I’ll still be listening to the poll that’s running about map votes.
Now, feedback time. Tell me what YOU think.
Okay – here are the specifics on the change:
————————
Map Rotation:
de_cbble
de_chateau
de_dust2
de_piranesi
cs_office
de_tides
de_dust2
de_inferno
de_cpl_mill
scoutzknivez3
de_dust2
de_losttemple_pro
————————
ScoutzKnivez3 has been turned down to 10 minutes of total play time. No more, no less.
As Falcon said, we pulled out a lot of maps and these are what we are sticking with for now.
Map voting has also been disabled. Admins should not do ANY map votes if the server is more than half full.
If you think a map should be added, reply to this thread. If you start a new thread, it will be closed. Lets keep this all neat and organized.
Thanks!

I really like that map rotation! however, i would like to ask you to please reconsider only 10 minutes of sk3. That’s a great map. At least 15-20 minutes.
please….?
oh, and there seems to be an awful lot of dust 2. perhaps we could squeeze dust 1 into there?

We will extend SK3 after we build population back up. As of right now, it kills the server.
Dust sucks and kills the server faster than assault.
Dust2 fills it up and will rotate through every 1.25 hours or so. Lets get our population up first then we’ll change it up some.
Two things I have problems with here, and only one can really be taken seriously.
1) I hate office, although it does fill the server, it’s really just my computer that hates it most…so disregard this…
and
2) WHY NO DEAGLE5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the sk3 lovers get 10 minutes of that bs, I feel the deagle lovers (me, bracket…+others) should be allowed the 10 minutes of a lil deagle facial action!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I do have a question about tides, I was under the impression no one really liked that map that much and/or it could not keep population up?? I could be wrong though.
We are going to be working on rotation to see what is best. I specifically pulled Deagle5 because 90% of the players didn’t like it.
Not to stir things up, but I can probably find a TON of ppl that dislike sk3 with a passion…but w/e…
sorry for the double post, but i agree with yahooearth about tides. I’m pretty sure it would kill the server pretty quick. guess i scanned over the maps too quickly to see it.
no nuke or havana?
i say put havana in but follow it up with dust 2
nuke is pretty ct sided and it’s kinda of a beating on the ts if they can’t get their *edited* together, but havana, despite it’s apparent complexity to some people, is very well balanced between the teams, given equal knowledge of the map is divided up on each team
So Falcon, Kuros, and I all went over the maps today, about 20 minutes before Falcon’s original post.
This is the rotation we all agreed on. We are gonna try this out for a bit and see how it does. We can adjust it more after a couple of days.
Keep letting us know how things are doing! If a map needs to go, feel free to tell us, but dont tell us 4 hours after we put the change in. That’s not enough time to really test things out.
Anyways, just give it a try, thats all we are asking.
NO WE WILL NOT LET THIS SLIDE, WHY DID YOU NOT GET THE VOTE FROM ALL THE NON EXECUTIVES AND THEIR PERMISSION BEFORE YOU DID THIS OMG ALSKHDLA:SHDF:LSJDFH
jk
but seriously…can we has back some deagle5 in like one week??
i’m sorry. i’m all for giving maps a second chance and all that, but if havana is put in the rotation, it will empty the server. I’m sorry raine, but havana is just a bad idea. even if it is a cool map, people don’t know it, and they don’t wanna take the time to learn it. Plus the fact that it changes every round doesn’t help.
I enjoy tides, nud-err nuke, and havana. But just because people refuse to take the time to learn it is like how people refuse to learn to look at what number a map is when they vote. In other words, it should be put back since it IS a good map, contrary to some popular belief…IT CHANGES FOR GODS SAKE, HOW MUCH COOLER CAN IT BE!!!!!
In two weeks of course it could be added
One thing I found a little irritating tonight was the semi-constant playing of Dust2. I KNOW it will populate the server, but other maps CAN do that too. Just my comments for my first night of the rotation. But I did enjoy being about to play piranesi, because it rarely gets voted in for some odd reason. And I again, hate office…but thats ok…
And I did not start this convo in game, but there were several distraught players when they heard that there was no more Deagle5 on the rotation…just an FYI, keeping you guys updated on whats going down in the hizzie

Thanks for the input!
Nuke has been added back to rotation and Deagle5 is back with a 10 minute map time.

i’ve been playing for a bit with the rotation and tide’s really does kill the server. i played for about 6 hours yest and whenever tides came on. people dc’d and just waited for the next map.
On another note, could you maybe put russka or contra in the rotation? just to see how it goes? Or maybe add something like every 2 rotations, cpl_fire or cpl_strike or de_season
just my 2 cents. i know i love playing anything cpl map or maps that CAL uses.
So Cal, I totally agree with you about the cpl maps and Contra and Russka. I think the problem with a few of those is they are relatively new for some people, and like Havana, people do not want to take the time to learn them, whereas D2 and office they have known forever…But yea contra, russka, strike, season, and fire are all great maps…
contra was a popular map even when the server was thriving i think it should be added back to the rotation.
i wish people took the time to learn strata… its a great map. but i realize it kills the server
a suggestion… instead of having d2 rotate so many times, why dont you make it like d2 and inferno, or even chateau too… those maps always fill the server. and then people wont get tired of dust 2 as easily, just a thought.
Well I officially played a full rotation of the maps, and here are my thoughts:
1) The server stayed full until the very end at Piranesi, which I thought was odd, but it was getting later…
2) Honestly I was not convinced on the rotation, but I thoroughly enjoyed it tonight.
3) I think maybe on a weekly basis instead of chateau, office, and tides, maybe contra, fire, and strike could be thrown in there for 10-15 minutes each.
4) I am not sure the rotation actually worked properly because I started with Deagle, and ended on Deagle, but somehow did not play Tides, office, inferno, chateau, or nuke?? I am fairly sure I was there the WHOLE time…but maybe I was mistaken…
Overall…the rotation is effective in accomplishing the mission of keeping the server populated for extended amounts of time…
And I’m happy deagle5 is back!!!
just my opinion, from my experience tides clears the server faster than assault. it should go. also, i fully support nuke being added. it seems that dust2 gets played alot. can we replace a dust2 with another office?
btw, this rotation stuff is pretty cool, now we’re not at the mercy of ignorant people voting.
I’m going to pull some reports over the next few days and see what maps are doing the best and whats doing the worst.
hlstatsx ftw.

BAH, no more office PLEASEEEEEEE. If anything, more inferno or mill, those ALWAYS bring mo peeps in…
was playing with yahoo and raine… the rotation played chateau for 40 minutes. i like chateau haha but 40 minutes is a long time. it reset the scores halfway through so i guess it just played chateau twice in a row.
