So in the past couple of days it has been brought to my attention that the same maps are always played on the server (de_dust2, de_inferno, cs_office, cs_assault) and its been requested that we make a new map rotation and also fix the map selection that amx offers so it keeps a recently played map off the list of maps to choose from.
So what i would like for everyone to do is post a list of maps they would like to see in the map rotation. Try to limit your selection of custom maps to your list as well, those are fun every once in a while.
Thanks Guys

Quite simply, de_mediterranean, and maybe a few of the de_52 maps that I recommended in the other thread. I would have to send you the map personally(de_mediterranean) just due to the fact that fpsbanana didn’t have it, and I can’t upload it onto the forums. De_mediterranean for the win….legatodulcet = AIM sn
I would recommend taking off map voting altogether. I can send you the rotation that keeps our Source server populated. Taking off voting ensures that the same maps aren’t played 10 times within two hours. We also don’t have much problem with people dropping either, even when it goes to one sided maps like Militia and Assault.
No map voting, de_vertigo is a good map except when you have people taking up server slots and just jumping off the edge killing themselves. Original assault would be nice to havent played that in a long time.
if we take voting off we much have 100% legit maps that nearly everyone will like… adam, for the custom maps DL them yourself and talke a look around and test them befor they go up.
but i vote for Scoutzknives and deaglezknives to be in the list a good 5-8 maps inbetween eachother…
anoth idea is to rotate the maps custom/offficeal so they wont all be official then all custom… or maby it’s a goos thing???? just one or the other
ps: sorry for the spelling
de_vertigo definately, as for regular assault.. UPC makes it easier on CTS on an already lopsided map. As for admins not being around… As for people just jumping off on purpose i havent seen anyone do it continuously. As for other maps iceworld rules!
For me puhlease..Quite simply, the map voting ENSURES server traffic. Whereas not having will, in my opinion, highly alter the amount of traffic you have due to MANY people hating GOOD maps, such as cbble, vertigo(not great, but good), the cpl maps, prodigy, and probably a few others. I say keep the voting, change it to nominations, then you can change how often a map is allowed to be played also. I think this would be the best option.
Edit: If this were to be chosen, I think it should be at least 4 OTHER maps before this one can be played again.
I agree map voting allows people to justly play the maps they want. I’ve seen scenarios where I (fan of d2) have voted for d2 and seen Aztec come up winner. Aztec. Over d2? Pshaa players musta been smokin something but whatever! I do think there is already a delay of a few maps before another map is put back on the vote rotation and I have seen a good mix as of lately between d2, aztec, office, inferno, dust, italy, .. which are usually the maps played on cycle. I even saw that hostie map.. i dunno the name cuz i hate it.. the one with the sewers and the ramp where you save hosties.. bleh. Horrible but we’ve played it. There you have the latest 1.6 report as of a few days ago where I played 13 straight hours. Yes. 13. I guess that 2 week hiatus had me hurtin to play
If your going to keep the voting aspect on the server then it needs to be controlled some how so that we wont be playing the same 3 maps. The way it usually goes right now is for example d2 then maybe aztec then d2 again then dust and so on, within a two hour period usually a map is played twice. And Deathspirit 13 hours straight is crazy I have never played CS for that long straight and Ive been playing for 7 years
Randomize these in an order
d, d2, az, office, militia, inferno, assault_upc, cbble, vertigo, piranesi, chateau, italy, scoutz, deagle.

i think he’s talking about militiaMilitia doesn’t have a ramp, the entire map is completely flat 😐
rgr that seige is the map he’s refering too. As for the nominations, i think we should keep voting. Make it so we play a lot more prodigy, cbble, and vertigo. These are sick *edited* maps that are being discriminated upon only cause people are dumbasses. I’m still trying to figure them out. Who wants to play the same *edited*ing maps over and over again. Scoutknives is for tool bags, and so i deagle knives, i would hate to see them in the rotation. They are beat out like Raven’s mom. Something definately needs to be done about this issue of the same maps being played, it is killing me.
Remove de_dust2 and put de_dust2002 on.
de_aztec
de_dust20002
de_cpl_mill
cs_italy
cs_siege
cs_estete
de_vertigo
cs_crackhouse
de_inferno
de_nuke
O Yeah go for it baby
Maybe as_oilrig ?
I would like to see some de_survivor. I vote changed to survivor a couple of days ago and it was a huge hit. <3 old skool.
Oh yeah, we need some cs_747 and/or de_747. Don’t let the old maps die
To be honest, I see this whole thread pointless as of now…it seems as if it was started, but not looked at since. I’m sure you have, but we have no authority on this, just our suggestions. I also know its break. I don’t have internet, I’m laying on my couch right now to get internet…it’s the only way I get reception. so I think this should just be locked until the people with access and power look at this thread.
just because we haven’t responded doesn’t mean its not looked at…?
Their is no golden map rotation form. this is a problem with every server out their. When the server is on a more popular map AKA the ones the “keep repeating” over and over again two things happen.
1st of which the server stays full, however the people that have been playing for awhile get board b/c seriously who likes playing the same maps over and over?
2ed the people that get board never like the same “custom” maps. So if we changed it to custom maps the server gets near empty and then everyone looses.
Its really amazing to me that there are not more custom maps that nearly everyone enjoys. how the hell did valve/steam/whoever make these 6 maps so popular and nothing since? With out old “custom map” server we tried the through things around with different variations of the official maps like )1337_dust2, 1337_aztec, Aztec3, dust_2002, exc). But the server just never got popular.
We can make minor changes to the server, as everyone knows. but when we go around changing to much the server just dies. This is why certain maps listed above will prob not get put on the server, (i’d more than love to play them) just because it is something different, but as we have see in the past by our own mistakes it really must be a map everyone has herd of or they wont even give it a try.
One fix for the people that get board is to come play our gungame server. This is the #1 mod hitting CS in the last 1/2 year and has really took off in the past months the its new release. Their is really no way to discribe it, besids to try it: connect gaming.wcu.edu:27045
We have so many FPS games hosted out our servers, Give another game a try when you get board of the same maps.
and maby more to come b/c of the gxti god that free ed up 80% of the cpu
Sorry i havent looked at this thread. Ive been at my gf’s house for the past 3 days and just got back in town..
i am taking all of these suggestions into consideration but i am also taking the consideration of the university into consideration as well when it comes to map voting and populating the server (for potential students, etc)
im going to give it some thought and talk it over with kuros and see what he thinks about some of the changes i want to do.
I didn’t mean to be offensive nodice if you took it taht way. It’s just taht everyone that has any power at all made no response to the thread and/or any of the ideas given. I still believe the nominations would be the best method.
With all due respect to aznjun, nominating a map and then having to vote for the maps that were nominated seems like an awful lot of trouble. Personally, with 3 redirects running for this server and a huge population base already, I still believe that taking off the voting system altogether would be the best idea. The CS:S server wasn’t even popular and even though some people will leave when the maps go to the lesser known, others will join in their place. I can’t count how many new players maps like de_chateau, de_tides, and scoutzknivez/scoutzknivez3 has brought to the Source server. Taking off map voting and playing a larger array of maps will attract new players. It’s sad how many people have been playing CS or CS:S for so long and don’t even know how to get around in chateau. In short, people need to get over the whole d2/office thing and learn some new maps. The game is so much more ridiculously fun when you play *new* maps like piranesi and prodigy instead of the same 3 maps over and over and over and over again.
