Most of the new maps are at a “trial” 15 minutes. If they work out they will be changed to the full map time. A few maps were removed and some of the semi-popular/semi-server-emptying maps were reduced in time, if they continue to adversely affect the server they will be swapped out with something else.

I voted that I liked it, but I actually do not like Train AT ALL…but I suppose there are peeps that like it…so whatev…

 

What are the spaces??

[peanut]

Looks pretty good. Seems like it will be a longer rotation than before. I am with Yahoo about Train – at the least I don’t think it should be a full 20. Also I kind of hate to say this, but where is Deagle? I think a 10 minute deagle is appropriate. The main reason people complain about it is because of their score. Most of the time this map holds a decent population.

 

That’s just my $.02.

[rainefardreamer]

my only complaint is cbble and prodigy, but other than that i’m fine with it

[Pink Monkey #13]

we need deagle. i thought it was more popular than not to include it???

 

edit: the rest of the rotation is fine i think, i just want deagle in there.

The spaces are there to seperate the sections of the mapcycle. They have no bearing on anything, it just helps me keep it balanced.

 

I will add deagle @ 10 minutes and reduce train back down to 15 minutes.

[peanut]

YAY. We love MasterP!

[YahooEarth]

So I take it there is no wai Dust is going to get thrown in for 10 minutes!?!?! It always brings peeps in!!

 

OH, and question aboot Russka…are there enough spawn points for the amount of peeps we has in the server??

[Pinkmonkey#18]

I like it but could we consider adding Port….maybe

[So-CaL A]

To begin, Train should be a normal map by now. it never empties the server, and i love the map now.

 

I say take out chat and militia, but this is just me.

 

guess thats all i see wrong, but i don’t think we’ll know how it works till we try it out on the server.

[Liam]

havana will kill the server.

[rainefardreamer]

i dunno, it held when we tested it, and the more people are exposed to it hopefully the more they’ll like it i mean you don’t even need to kill the t’s you can just run to the hosties and out again in a heartbeat, i love that, none of this italy bull*edited* where you might as well kill’em all cause they are in the way

May I also suggest finding some new maps at http://www.fpsbanana.com and add a few of those instead of recycling the same maps over and over and overe?

[enough]

thank you liam! like i said paris_opt… itll be an instant hit

 

 

the only other thing ill add is that militia, contra and, havana consecutively will just empty the server because there’s no big name map. I suggest moving inferno to contra’s spot and then switching contra to piranesi’s spot and piranesi to the original inferno spot. might want to consider doing something similar for the lost temple – russka section as well. thanks! looks good though, just some suggestions

[Rocket Rob]

looks good to me

cept for SK3

[Lemm]

I’d say switch the time limit for havana and prodigy…

 

making prodigy 15 minutes and havana 10…

 

 

I know people gotta hate havana more than prodigy

[AngelEllaine]

That’s a pretty sexy map cycle, but there are a few things I would suggest.

 

I think a few of the maps could be switched out, like havana and chatteu (though i like chatteau) and maybe ADD

perhaps tides ? I think it would also help trim down the list since the rotation seems rather ridiculously long or reduce

the time on extra/testing maps to 10 minutes (don’t need to play it too long, just get a feel and a poll)?

[BallzinurJawz]

There are of course some maps on this rotation that i don’t like…but this is a great map rotation…When does it start?

[Pink Monkey #16]

Looking good so far.

 

One suggestion…

We aren’t really going to know how well this works until we play it some, so can we test it for two weeks or so and then throw up another official thread to see if it needs tweaking?

 

Also, do any of these maps include automatic awp restrictions?

[peanut]

I’m with Liam on the new maps from fpsbanana. Unfortunately my current obligations won’t permit me to take the time to look for and test some, but I hope something can appear in the rotation that is new.

 

I also agree with Angel that the rotation might be too long. One of the things about our current rotatation is that there is a lot of variation, but you know that not too long from the current time you wil be able ot get back a map you like – if there are ones you don’t like.

 

Someone made the comment about the sets of maps that might kill the server (as a set, not indivudually) I think it is wise to address this issue.

Awps / Auto Snipers are set to a max of 2 for all maps.

I love you Liam.

 

 

In a completely platonic way.

When does the new map rotation take effect?

i like the new map rotation alot, but this is a good point. maybe moving the maps around a little, spacing them out better might be better. i guess we’ll just hve to see how it plays.

[MasterP]

I have loaded this mapcycle. Let’s see how it does and discuss it in a week.

[Bananarchy]

Generally I don’t mind greater variety. My biggest problem with map rotations is over-playing of popular maps. I like that this one incorporates some new ones for shorter times, however, I think dust_2 might be in the rotation a little too often ><

I have noticed that you kinda have to have a map like dust2 that is “over-played”…it keeps people in the server if they know there is a map they like coming up…and as we all know, dust2 is one of the most popular maps. I am a huge advocate of completely removing dust2 from CS:S…but I have learned to deal with it.
