Project Reality Forums

Already talked about this at the NEW forum once but what I (and some of my mates) would like to see is the possibility to "vote against" a particular map.

E.g. "Beirut" "Kokan" "Kashan"

All of us would vote against Kashan, cause we really don't like it. But what happens is, that we have to kinda keep an eye on the first two choices and then just back it up, to not play choice # 3.

One could say: "By voting against one map you get two voices" or sth but that isn't really the case. All a negative vote would say is: "I am fine with what ever the outcome is and will bring my a-game as long as it is not "Kashan". Thoughts?

EDIT: Oh, I know this might make "keeping an eye" for the vote even harder but still:

VOTE IN FREAKING SQUAD CHAT! NO ONE GIVES A DAMN WHAT YOU VOTE AND I WANT TO SEE STUFF ON MY SCREEN AND NOT BE BLINDED BY ALL THOSE NAMES AND NUMBERS!

The map vote is successful 85% of the time. Good enough for me

Some servers have a fixed maplist. VBIOS, for example.

Just to get the discussion going and trowing some ideas and see if we all as community can come up with some solutions, instead of just flaming on the servers in the chat.
We have to think in solutions and not problems.
I see in all the post in this thread that everybody agrees more or less with each other about the maps and the map vote.
Also that it has to change in some way.

What did we more or less agree on about map votes?

I've yet to see one server head administrator even comment on this thread. They are the ones that can amend or change how maps votes are run. I don't see them even interested despite the ongoing complaints in the servers which are sometimes met with a warning. Again, it's just spam. People are either unaware you can vote in squad or relish in letting everyone know which choice they made. So I'm starting to just ignore map votes. Pick a ***** map and get on with it.

NwA have started to just pick maps within teamspeak instead of having mapvotes. and when we dont really know what maps to take we do a mapvote.
