I don’t want to sound negative because I like new maps, but oilrig and vertigo are killing the server.
As well, it doesn’t help that amx_votemap doesn’t seem to work for some maps, including snow. This is ironic, because it’s a popular map when there are only a few ppl on (currently the situation with the server).
Someone pointed out that ppl can go to 24/7 dust2 if they don’t like the new maps. Fine. But in reality people are not going to bounce around between two servers each time a weird map appears. They leave.
A better strategy to consider if playing doesn’t increase, is to simplify the rotation and expect admins to DJ the maps depending on the mood of the players.
