um short rotation…. the longer the less boring and mundane it will get
but i will say that all those would keep the server full… cept maybe 35hp_2 as much as i love it
10-12 maps is a perfect size rotation for a dieing server. when it pop’s we should then make it longer by adding in the “stupid maps”
i like it lockEm
I’d say that rotation sounds pretty good and would help maintain the server population. It would sure bring me back at least.
I think its important to have official – custom – official – custom repeating. Maybe add aztec and iceworld? to that rotation. I’m just trying to help.

Since I can only post one map in the other thread, this is my idea for a map rotation. All the maps are 25-30 minutes except for 35 hp which is 15. Some people will argue 25 is too long for certain custom maps, and say 25 is good for others. But that’s because you prefer one map over the other and aren’t thinking of other people who may like the map. This rotation has most, if not all the official maps that people want to play, and imo the best/funnest custom maps. Maps like prodigy (although I love it), piranesi, assault maps, etc shouldn’t be in the rotation. Well, maybe the original assault because you can easily get more people with it. So many pubbers play that map. But its far too small for a 32 slot server.dust2

You can post as many as you want in the other thread. Just leave out your opinions. We are only looking for maps.

I’ve noticed that a lot of people end up leaving when maps like prodigy, piranesi, upc, etc type maps come up. I think we should stick to playing the key official maps and have fun maps. This would lead to a small rotation, obviously, but if you cut out the crap we play now, it would be better I think.Something like this (brackets are map times, obviously):
awp_map (15 minutes until we can get a spawn killing plugin)
de_inferno (25)
de_nuke (25)
scoutzknivez (25)
de_aztec (25)
de_cbble (25)
fy_snow (25 minutes, definitely deserves more time as it keeps the server full)
de_dust2 (25)
awp_dust (25)
i agree w/ lockem but dont u think we need train????

The problem with the server is the new rotation. the new rotation was chosen by players that play css more than cs.The new rotation was chosen by 3 people who only play 1.6.
And implemented by a person who plays css more than 1.6.
If you want we can change it back to what loot had which was like 70% custom maps and leave it that way. I guess that would be better for you since you play often dot dot dot
i like lockems rotation but maybe we could try adding a surf map or two in there. and a knife map. there are plenty other than 35hp_2
and also some of our fun night maps could maybe be implemented into the regular server?
lockem’s map rotation is horrible. 9 maps on a rotation? wow, more people will leave the server forever. the map rotation before this current one was fine and then some idiots changed the rotation and *edited*ed everyone off now. good one!
^ the map rotation before this current one was fine and then some idiots changed the rotation and made everyone angry*
the only variable that has changed over the years is the maps. And the way a person gets to those maps. Voting or Rotation. I think the most popular the server has ever been is when we did map voting, but the problem with that is we did d2 almost all day. That doesn’t bother me much, but i can see where it is a painful for you guys to play the same map over and over.
So then we can sit back and say .. more maps hurt the server? I think so.
– the average user plays less than an hour a day. That means they want to be the best at the game when they get on. Everyone is at their top of the game when they play d2. Everyone knows it. Everyone scrims it, Everyone plays it.
but you also have to look and say.. more maps help the community? I think so.
-yes we always want different when we put that many hours into something. I couldn’t play the same map over 2 hours. i would get really bored. Yes i have played many maps over 2 hours. HideNSeek, Vampire mod maps and Iceworld.
If you ask me should we go back to voting? I dont think we should unless we come up with some really complex plugin that will allow a map not to be played but a certain amount in the day and make sure they are spread out. Which we dont have the time or motivation to do.
The other option is to change the map rotation which has already been brought up. We are all searching for the perfect map rotation, and I can tell you what maps work for large server. I will try to order them in the most popular to the least.
De_dust2
cs_office
cs_assault
fy_iceworld or fy_iceworld2k or fy_snow (only pick one)
de_inferno
de_aztec
de_dust
pick one aim_ or awp map. Really doesn’t matter, as long as its just target shooting.
de_cbble
cs_italy
notice that it is 10 maps in the rotation. That rotation is what got the server popular when we started this. I think it will make it popular if you apply it. Edit and watch it grow.
the only 2 bad maps in that rotation is italy and cbble. i have YEARS of pub experience, and i can agree with you, people like to play maps where they are at their best. i will also say that maps that are more even, more people will play. no one likes to play a map where its harder to get kills on one side, thats why d2 is so popular. the only maps that should be on the server are maps that are as EVEN as possible.
i revived it by making an appearance yesterday for about 30 minutes. i’ll be back to do it again in about 3 months. off to vegas! have a good weekend folks
I didn’t even think about the evenness factor. Which means cbble, aztec, Italy and dust don’t really have a place in the server. As much as I love them, if they are killing the server, they have to go.
1. dust2 (25 min)
2. dust (20 min)
3. inferno (25)
4. office (25)
5. chateau (25)
6. survivor (25)
7. awp_map (25)
8. piranesi (25)
9. cs_deagle5 (25)
10. oilrig (25)
11. aztec (25)
12. nuke (25)
13. scoutzknivez (15)
this should be the map rotation.
ok so im not gonna even lie but could we get vertigo back into the rot?
i knew it was in a while ago but to revive it might be good

I haven’t had as much experience as trife, but being able to play fairly on both sides is very important. Dust I believe is another map that is unfair and is not necessary.
>.<
And I do like how sticky added a couple fun maps into the rotation instead of just scoutknives. I think a little variation will be good for the community ^.^
