I read what you said sticky and I do agree with what you’re saying for the most part. The thing about having a rotation that is filled with lots of dust2, inferno, nuke, etc is that while you and the regulars might get tired of playing them all the time, from what I’ve seen in the server, we don’t have that many regulars playing anymore. Half the server is usually filled with complete randoms, who would leave if you went to a less popular map. I honestly have no problem playing the popular de_maps if that means we have a relatively full server.
I also think we should try to incorporate more maps into the rotation though. We seem to be doing good for now, but I doubt it would last. I don’t think having regulars list 3 maps, no more or no less would be a good way to fix the rotation. I don’t think even half of the regulars use the forums, so thats why I don’t think its a good idea.
Appstate pulled off playing maps like fullallinone, deagle5, 12gaugecage, de_wallmart and stuff like that because when you joined the server, you knew like 90% of the people in there at any given time. You can’t expect people to play those kinds of maps right away. I don’t think we have enough loyal regulars at the moment to try maps like that. In App people sticked around for maps they wouldn’t normally play because of the environment. Everyone was talking on their mics, laughing and having a good time. That’s not the case anymore.
