40 maps , we are playing only about 5.

roiter475 · Post by **roiter475** » 2013-08-07 12:54

So, I've been playing daily since the release, mainly on merk or PRTA.

And from what I see, there are always the same 5 or so maps.

Khamisiya
Saaramera
Op Marlin
Black Gold
Burning Sands.
Muttrah (sometimes at merk)

That is what I mostly play and see.
Now not that I don't like these maps, they are awesome.
Especially Marlin for me.
Even more now for inf, but these are mainly vehicle depended maps.

I know admins are the once who put the maps in a vote, but they don't have to put those maps every time in a vote.

Where is Vietnam ? only played it once in skirmish 5 minutes before next map.
Now more maps for Vietnam, updated and everything.

Where are the 2km mainly inf maps ?
Where are the maps like Qway river , Beirut, Ramiel, Kozelsk, Jabal.
Again.. VIETNAMMMMMMM ? More new maps instead of the played ones.

It's understandable that putting 1km maps with 100 people seems not very logical, even if there are many awesome new 1km maps.

All I am asking is that Admins will put more 2 km maps to the vote, or something.

Maybe do a vote first for the size (1km,2km,4km). Than you know.
If it's 2 km , throw 1 insurgency map to the vote or something.

That's all I have to say, sorry for bad English.

My dream is servers with a full rotation of maps with a variance in the layout.

So no map votes......

after a server crash a first map "seed" is run but the map that was running or the map after is set to next map.

Then there could be events for certain maps that the people behind the server would like to "highlight" like Insurgency Friday.... or German Faction Saturday.... and JET sunday... or whatever.

and before people say.... BUY YOUR OWN SERVER and make your own rules...... this is just my dream as I can't afford my own server ;(

You can still have a big variety of maps with mapvotes... All that needs to be done is to make a mapvote that does not contain the maps all players call out for in the chat.

Post by **Rudd** » 2013-08-07 13:09

True, a bit more variation would be good

i try to run open mapvotes. if we run aas ins vietnam, and aas/vietnam are close enough, then i'll toss in a vietnam option. keep in mind that admins have to consider the population of the server, what other servers are running currently, which side was blufor last etc.. you don't always get the best possible candidates in democracy. the goal is to keep the server going. if we just ran fallujah, then 50 guys just endured the ins side and deserve some asset play for example. it's not easy to keep everyone pleased at all times.

Of course , I understand that.
It's not that, it's just that there should be more variation that's all.
I am not telling the Admins how to run a server cause I have no idea how.
Just , if you make a vote for next map, when we just played Burning sands for example, don't throw in Kamisiyaa (whatever it's name is), but Beirut for example, maps that are not similar to the one played (if we play kamisiya, dont put burning sands, black gold, they focus on pretty much the same game play).

It's funny and sad how people still play Muttrah and Koshan while there is new/revamped maps waiting for them. I think there is even two(!) Muttrah only servers in 1.0, good thing I never saw them populated.
I really want to play Xiangshan but it appears that european servers don't run it.

saXoni · Post by **saXoni** » 2013-08-07 13:50

1.0 was just released, this is how it's always been when there's a release with new maps. Within a couple of months you should see more maps being played.

Gracler · Post by **Gracler** » 2013-08-07 13:55

The problem with votes is that people don't know what is good for them, and everyone never votes so instead of an admin deciding what is best it is a few players that get it there way.

When you make a map rotation you can easily set it up with good variation.

A long time ago when there where no map votes on most servers I enjoyed playing the odd matches.

Yeah, it's always the same maps, especially on CIA.

Hardcore is my favorite server actually in terms of map selection, they stick to the rotation.

HunterMed · Post by **HunterMed** » 2013-08-07 15:41

yep... seems about right. More variation would be good.

I cant get enough of Khamisiya however. For me that is one of the best maps ever created

nAyo · Post by **nAyo** » 2013-08-07 15:45

Kamisiyah is great indeed. It's quite true, we always play the same maps most of the time while it'd be great to see what the others are like now in 1.0

saXoni · Post by **saXoni** » 2013-08-07 15:49

I am yet to play Kashan Desert, I guess that has something to do with Kamisiyah.

Trooper909 · Post by **Trooper909** » 2013-08-07 16:54

Just play on TG as they have every map on rotation.We actually have a choice to choose servers now so you don't have to put up with muttrah 24/7

Heskey · Post by **Heskey** » 2013-08-07 18:29

Fed up of Muttrah, Kashan, Black Gold.

Don't think I've played Khamisiya yet.

I'm sick of Dovre. It's a good map, but it's already overplayed.

Never even played it once so far!

Well if you can get some sort of nomination feature for the map vote that would solve 50% of issues. Getting people to vote on it is the other half

Raklodder · Post by **Raklodder** » 2013-08-08 00:37

In my humble opinion, all maps are fine, what bothers me is the ARF and Vietnam fractions, which needs to be polished and I can't honesly not believe how out of all mini-mods Vietnam made it into the main mod, I'd say it's an alpha at best, other than that all other fractions are superb and the main reason for why I'm still around here and always active, especially Insurgency as an Arab playing on Fallujah West, Al Basrah or Operation Archer.

I am from Israel. England is as far as I can go.
Lags won't let me play.

and to Raklodder, I love Vietnam. I think Vietnam is more than awesome,
I love Guerrilla warfare, that's my personal favorite gameplay.
That's why I enjoy VIETNAM so much, and now I get even more maps for it.
