We will NOT put a new, untested map directly after a server populating map. Maybe before but I will not risk killing the server and having to wait 2 hours before a populating map comes back up. That’s stupid and directly contrary to the map testing system that’s already in place.
Btw, if you want a poll that I’ll actually pay attention to please make both options non-demeaning. It seems that my selection means I need to play on a different server…
Russka, Strike, and Fire are weird maps that only about 1/3 of the people will know. I’m hesitant to try all at once because the outcome will be a dead server.
Havana and Militia will clear the server, does it every time. Since they are more known I would be most willing to give them a try but not for more than 10 minutes and not without a more unbiased vote.
I *WILL NOT* put *ANY* CAL/CEVO exclusive map on the rotation. Very few non league players will know the map and I won’t screw the larger percent of the community in favor of the smaller percent.
For the record, I never wanted Beroth on the rotation to begin with. Since it usually runs off a large chunk of the server it probably won’t be in the next rotation.
And for clarification, SK3 stays. I personally hate it but it brings in just as many as it runs off.
Official new map discussions will be held when we discuss and vote on the new mapcycle next week.
