NEW SERVER LIVE - CURRENT MAPS ON SERVER - 31/10/09

[SkankyMoe]

HI EVERYONE,

OK FIRSTLY FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN ASKING ME AND ABUSING ME, IM NOT A MOD, IM JUST TRYING TO HELP OUT A LITTLE WITH THE SERVER ADMIN SIDE OF THINGS.
MOVING RIGHT ALONG, OK AS SOME WOULD KNOW BY NOW, THE NEW SERVER IS UP AND RUNNING AND ITS GOT A HEAP OF NEW MAPS ON IT FOR EVERYONE TO CHECK OUT.
IM NOT IN CONTROL OF MAP ROTATIONS HERE SAY, IM JUST TRYING TO HELP MANAGE THE SERVER, MAPS BEING A PART OF THAT.

I HAD PUT THESE MAPS AND ANOTHER GROUP OF MAPS ON THE SERVER FOR "BR" TO CHECK OUT AND TO HAVE A PEEK AT THEM MYSELF WHILE WORKING ON THE SERVER.
IT JUST HAPPENS TO BE THAT THE SERVER SWITCH HAPPENED A LITTLE EARLIER THAN EXPECTED AND THERE WAS NO TIME TO DECIDE ON WHAT MAPS TO RUN WITH, SO I
SUGGESTED WE LET PEOPLE CHECK OUT SOME NEW MAPS, BEING THE MAPS ON THE SERVER NOW.

SO ID LIKE TO ASK YOU ALL TO GET ON THE NEW SERVER, CHECK OUT THE NEW MAPS AND GIVE SOME FEEDBACK REGARDING THE MAPS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE INCLUDED
OR EXCLUDED FROM, LETS SAY A NEW NOVEMBER MAP ROTATION. IN ADDITION TO THE NEW MAPS PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT PREVIOUS FAVORITE MAPS YOU WOULD LIKE
INCLUDED IN THE NEW MAP ROTATION FOR NOVEMBER. DONT WASTE TIME TO CHECK OUT THE NEW MAPS AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE BEFORE YOU WRITE THEM OFF, PLAY
THEM AT LEAST A FEW TIMES, LEARN THE OBJECTIVES AND EXPLORE THE AREA. IM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR FEEDBACK.

ON TOP OF CHECKING OUT THE NEW MAPS, LOTS OF WHICH NO ONE HAS SEEN BEFORE (WELL GATHERING FROM LOTS OF TONIGHTS COMMENTS) SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS
ABOUT THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE MAP ROTATIONS, I CAN CHANGE, UPDATE, ADD, REMOVE MAPS VERY QUICKLY, PRETTY WELL ANY DAY OF THE WEEK AND IT ONLY TAKES A
COUPLE OF MINS TO DO, SO ITS NO TROUBLE TO UPDATE ALONG THE WAY AS WE PLAY, IF AFTER A WEEK OR TWO PEOPLE WANT CHANGE IT CAN HAPPEN WITH "BR's" APPROVAL.

REGARDING THE MAP NAMES, I HAD A FEW PEOPLE PM ME SAYING OMG THIS MAP IS ORSUM, WHATS IT CALLED. HERES A TIP FOR THOSE THAT DONT KNOW HOW TO CHECK
WHAT THE NAME OF A MAP IS THAT THEY ARE PLAYING AT THE TIME. SEE THE BELOW SCREEN SHOT AS EXAMPLE. [HIT ESC KEY, CLICK ON SERVER INFO BUTTON] SEE MAP NAME.

WATCH THIS THREAD, I WILL ADD A POLL TO IT SOON FOR SOME VOTING RESULTS OF THE CURRENT MAPS POPULARITY, AFTER ALL WE WHO DOESNT LOVE CALLING A VOTE RIGHT.

Skanky, imho a successful rotation needs at least a couple of the old classic maps thrown into the mix.

Yes, skanky, I read your post. Nowhere in that upper case text (it's getting annoying now btw) did I see mention of you putting back a couple of the older classic (smaller!) maps. A few other players mentioned in-game that they'd like to see 2-3 more familiar maps.
I have nothing against the new maps. They are fine except for the ones mentioned above by Dr Dre. Nevertheless a well-constructed rotation should not consist of ENTIRELY new maps, as you've currently implemented.

Anyways, thanks for helping out OZ!

ROTATION. IN ADDITION TO THE NEW MAPS PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT PREVIOUS FAVORITE MAPS YOU WOULD LIKE INCLUDED IN THE NEW MAP ROTATION FOR NOVEMBER.

MAYBE IF PEOPLE TOOK AS MUCH TIME TO PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK REGARDING WHAT MAPS THEY WANT TO SEE ON THE SERVER AS THEY DO WITH THE BOBBLA QQ EVERYONE WOULD BE HAPPIER.

Nevertheless a well-constructed rotation should not consist of ENTIRELY new maps, as you've currently implemented

I NEVER SAID THIS WAS A NEW ROTATION, AS PER BELOW, THESE MAPS WHERE TO GENERATE FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS REGARDING MAPS TO MAKE THE NEW NOVEMBER ROTATION WITH.

THESE MAPS AND ANOTHER GROUP OF MAPS ON THE SERVER WERE FOR "BR" TO CHECK OUT. THE SERVER SWITCH HAPPENED A LITTLE EARLIER THAN
EXPECTED AND THERE WAS NO TIME TO DECIDE ON WHAT MAPS TO RUN WITH, SO I SUGGESTED WE LET PEOPLE CHECK OUT SOME NEW MAPS. IN ADDITION
TO THE NEW MAPS PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT PREVIOUS FAVORITE MAPS YOU WOULD LIKE INCLUDED IN THE NEW MAP ROTATION FOR NOVEMBER.

moved from the other thread:

1. thank you oz and skanky for your work upgrading the server to the new location. the transistion (chg mgt) has been well thought out.
2. there are some good new maps
3. i suggest we alter the rotation slightly to allow a break with maps we're familiar with. ie alternate a new map, then radar, then another new map, then oasis, etc..

looks like a mix has already been implemented.

also, would love it see radar, but admit might be fail with lvl4 fops.
i always liked karsiah_te2.pk3 too.

Can I PM you with my MSN address and we can cyber instead?

 

[blusky]

I haven't played on the server yet cos i'm capped and the maps are like 20MB each.

But you need goldrush!!! Everyone loves goldrush, EVERYONE!!

Don't add railgun/battery - they're terrible on pubs.

The only maps I began to get extremely bored of in the last rotation was Italy, Ice and ....oasis!

Would be good if more of the community had input on the rotation - i'll be sure to post when i've played them a few times. Good stuff Moe!

gotta have goldrush atleast guys... but some of the customs are pretty fun, the desert style town map is awesome, great for smg fights (would be awesome for paintball)
