Alright so we all know that currently WCU is on a map rotation that cycles through a set list of maps. I propose we go back to the good ol days of voting on a map. I always find the same maps throughout the cycle (d2, snow, sk) repeating waaaay too much. The server GT has a pretty good system where you cant play a map that has been played in the last 30 maps and you vote based on that, as well as a nomination system. I know this is a huge step for WCU, but maybe we can add more maps to the server and make it so you cant repeat a map that has been played in the last 10 maps or something or not do nominations. There are lots of excellent maps that are not being played at all by this server and im sure lots of players will enjoy experiencing new environments. Thoughts?
this has been debated HUNDREDS of times here. and mainly the responses you will get here at the moment are “this works, don’t touch it”
if you’d like to see reasons for our choice, i suggest looking up the old threads on this subject, and if you have a different reason why we should do voting feel free to post that
actually we do vote map…when there is less than 13 people in the server. If there is more, then it goes to RTV (which is a form of voting). What’s the issue?
he means at the end of each map, a mod is set up to vote up 5 random maps from a pool and sets the winner as the next map. While on paper this is awesome as it allows the ppl to choose what they want all the time, it also is fail because in most cases the server becomes a “d2, inferno, office” only server and those get old really fast.
Personally ive always wanted to have a map system set up that allows u first to vote for either custom map or a regular map, then from the winner of that vote choose 5 maps randomly and go. that way people can vote in custom maps if they want or if they feel like playing office they can set it up so that gets voted in as well. The main issue with that is that u again run the risk of driving a lot of people away because if the vote is a 55%-45% win then half the server could end up leaving.
If enough people want to try a vote map system, ill figure out one, but because most of the people who come on the forums and give me input want just a better rotation i keep that. If u have maps u want to suggest, please post them along w/ a fps banana link so i can test it out and see what people think about it. I’m willing to change things around and also there are many changes that are going to be updated to the 1.6 soon.
My thought was that we could do voting but not have maps repeat that have been played a set number of maps previously, probably like 10 or 15 maps or so. i know that this works well in lots of other servers. the reason that this failed in this server previously was that it was always d2 or inferno or nuke. this way, those overplayed maps wont become overplayed
i don’t think it would work to make it not play the last 10 or 15 maps. i don’t think we even have that many, but yea i know we could add more. the thing is, most people wont spend 5 consecutive hours playing so have up to 20 maps in the rotation will result in people never playing the same map in 1 sitting but people who randomly come in would still get a chance to play those maps that already passed. i think 10 GOOD maps would be fine though because thats over 3 hours worth of playing time. this is all considering the maps are played for 20 min at a time.
i think something good to have would be at the end of a map there could be a vote.
extend or votemap. that way if a majority of people like the current map they could play it an extra 5 or 10 min. the extend is no more than once per map though
I’ve brought this up a couple of times. I’m willing to try it, but like Bunny says, it has to be set so you don’t play a map that was one of the last x maps previously played (to avoid the d2/inferno/office thing Major mentioned).

we have a good 50-70 maps on the server atm, and we definitely could get a votemap to work if we wants. Also we can add new maps and even bring back the old ones. I really wish i didnt have to uninstall my CS last year because i lost literally 2 gigs of maps that i could have looked through and added. I just dont want to load up the server with maps that we will never use.

i completely agree with voting for maps b/c honestly it gets boring with the same maps in rotation over and over i mean what should be done is just throw a whole bunch of maps into the server ( not throw lol ) but just let the rotation go with the votes , put some fun maps and serious maps and boring maps i think it would be a great idea and if people dont like it of course they would get used to it
Everytime we do mapvoting for next map the server dies. No thanks. If you guys want more maps, request them.
