SpectatorWhile the current mapcycle is doing very well, there are a few things that seem to get more than their fair share of complaints and I’d like to try to remedy them. I have sat on this issue for far too long so here is a proposed mapcycle. Feel free to speak your minds, all I ask is if you don’t agree please say what you don’t agree with and why. I am open to all suggestions at this point of the process.
Proposed Mapcycle said:
de_cbblede_season
de_dust2
de_piranesi
cs_deagle5 @ 15 mins
cs_office
de_nuke @ 20 mins
de_contra
deaglezknivez @ 15 mins
cs_italy_blitz_b1 @ 15 mins
de_inferno
de_aztec @ 15 mins w/ 1 awp and 1 auto per team
scoutzknivez3 @ 15 mins
de_cpl_mill
de_dust2
de_losttemple_pro
cs_italy
de_train @ 15 mins

SpectatorJust a side note, Aztec is on probation and may disappear altogether as it very quickly gets retarded sometimes.

Spectatoritaly blitz needs to go.
Also, add de_nightfever in there somewhere, its really popular.
June 5, 2008 at 9:49 am #48149Cacophony
SpectatorIs season really that popular?
Besides that, it looks good. And that maps that are on there twice are for a reason I presume?

Spectatorpeople love dust2…it’s guaranteed filler.
Seasons a decently balanced map, ts and cts can win equally, unlike some of the other maps
i like most of it, but i don’t care for deagleknivez and then italy blitz back to back, to be honest i don’t care for either.
i played de_nightfever last night, it was enjoyable, i could see it working into the schedule, until someone figures out how to break it. But it’d be fun for a little while, hell thunder lasted for a while.
i’d like havana to get a trial, of maybe 15 minutes or something, it’s a decent map and if people got a limited exposure to it, they might get better at it, i was confused the first two times i played it, but after that i really started to like it

Fully agree with ^^, definitely mix up the deagleknivez and italyblitz…And also, is there anyway we could throw in some of the other cpl maps?? They were all popular maps when in the mapvote, i.e. Russka, Fire, Strike?? At the very least could we, like raine said, get a trial of 10-15 minutes of russka, fire, and/or havana??
Another thing I think there are a few(some of the regs) that don’t particularly enjoy piranesi all that much, and then followed by deagle5, maybe mix up where deagle5 is?? Just a suggestion.

Spectator*edited* YOU
TWO SCOUTZ MAPS?????
why cant they do that fr 1.6…

i guess ill have to start playing at source now

SpectatorHmm:
1) 2SK maps is a bit overkill i think, just find the better map of the two and if people
REALLY want to play it then map vote back to it.
2) Nuke is a pretty CT sided of a map. (When it’s a pub who the heck knows, but still).
So that’s 20 minutes of torture for people who get put on T.
3) I don’t really see why you need to limit the amount of awps and autosnipers for aztec.
Yea there’s only three ways out (water, bridge, dd) but limiting the sniper rifles doesn’t really
do much except telling everyone to camp with rifles instead.
As for the other maps, I love fire, but i really get a feeling that no one would appreciate
cpl_fire/havana/russka. Many don’t scrim, others havn’t played them much at all. If anything
I’m with Liam in removing Blitz (*edited*, not as a *edited* as SK).

Spectatori love all the complaints yet they are the same complaints that could be levied against the current rotation; this rotation honestly isnt much different.
He did reduce the time on italyblitz so it might not be as bad now and such
June 5, 2008 at 2:38 pm #48192HexFlex
Spectatorcs_italy_blitz_b1 = No
de_train = no.
go for nightfever
June 5, 2008 at 3:24 pm #48197MasterP
SpectatorLike Nickname said, I made very few changes to the existing rotation. I was mainly looking for just this kind of feedback so please continue. I will release an updated preoposal later tonight with more space between the iffy customs. I didn’t realize how close together they were until I had already posted this.
June 5, 2008 at 3:26 pm #48198Kuros
SpectatorRemove italy_blitz and probably awptec. Also, you have dust2 -> 2 maps >dust2 -> 11 maps -> dust2 -> 5 maps. That seems weird to me. Keep in mind that the server autostarts on dust2.

Keep in mind that the server autostarts on dust2.I thought it did but didn’t see it in the rotation. I didn’t add any D2s, those were already there. I’ll balance it better next time.
June 5, 2008 at 3:49 pm #48206Bitey
SpectatorNo complaints from me, I am pretty easy to please, I like how you are basing your decisions on the community feedback, this is exactly what I want out of Council Leaders, good job
June 5, 2008 at 3:49 pm #48207Kuros
SpectatorPut it between office and nuke and you have my thumbs up.
June 5, 2008 at 5:42 pm #48224LuckySeven
SpectatorI dont like the sk map but i know others do so i dont have a problem with them staying. I just leave and come back when it is over. Only real thing i want to say is i would love to c more cpl maps also like fire,strike and russka thats my 2 cents like it matters lol.
June 6, 2008 at 9:37 am #48283Hannah Montana
SpectatorLooks righto in my opinon…
Minus the SK at 15 minutes buttt I never stay much to play it so…. Yah
Oh, and Strike isn’t too shabby either… Wasn’t it on rotation at some point in time, recently?
June 6, 2008 at 1:28 pm #48293enough
Spectatortake out deagleknivez, and i like it. personally id like to see inferno on there twice like dust2, but i dont know how thatd fly with everyone else…
also if you add nightfever, i feel like you should make the bomb timer longer (i dont know if you can do that for specific maps) but its a pretty big map and takes a while to rotate. it seems a little too easy for the T’s to plant and win.
a better map to add would be strata in my opinion. its a great custom map, and very well balanced.

Spectatorno leave deaglezknivez plz i like that map so much more than lame deagle5
June 6, 2008 at 3:42 pm #48306Falcon
Spectatorgood work so far on this MasterP, and I’m happy to see that you’re putting this to votes too
i like the rotation, but ima hold out on voting till i play through it, which could be a long time off still

I’m terribly out of date on my knowledge of the server as it is, but with this being a rotation, map votes are out, no? or do you mean as in to have admins pushing votes?

June 6, 2008 at 4:52 pm #48324Nickname
Spectatoroh well. The people want to map!
or just replace it with cpl_strike
June 6, 2008 at 6:59 pm #48346Pink Monkey #16
Spectatorsk3 and degle5 need to be 10 minutes and deaglezknivez needs to leave completely. other than that, i can live with this rotation.
PS: I know I’m a nub, but where is the falling through the floor on russka?
June 6, 2008 at 7:00 pm #48348DJ KHALED
SpectatorLove that you’re bringing back nuke and train. That span, however, where the rotation goes from deaglesknives to scoutsknives3… there’s really only 1/5 maps in that span I actually enjoy playing.
– Deaglesknives = fail. Much worse than deagle5, imo. I know some people like it (not sure why) but it’s so lame using that random headshot machine in a low gravity map.
– Italy Blitz – if I wanted to play a hostie map, I’d choose havana over this garbage.
– Inferno – only good map in this 5 map stretch. I enjoy it every time I play it.
– Aztec – take it off probation and kick it in the trash.
– scoutsknives3 – I know a select group of people love this map, and that’s fine. I usually just disconnect and wait for it to finish. It’s actually a pretty fun custom map, when people don’t set up their tents in spawn.
I’d love to see some of the cpl maps added, as other people have said already. I really like fire and strike. We should also give havana one last shot…I mean, we gave italy blitz another, so why not?
June 6, 2008 at 8:39 pm #48368Kuros
Spectatorcpl_maps (including russka) are mega server clearers. Don’t bring them back. This comes from experience from when it was done the first time.
Also I agree with kicking awptec and italy blitz (I know I said to bring it back but it’s not as popular as it used to be). DK is pwnsauce, it needs to stay because the majority of people have a blast on this map.
