Not that I know the map rotation or anything, but would be nice to get some sort of rota going

Official Maps only ftw (except ctf maps such as ctf_2fort and ctf_well, they could tend to go on for too long)

Dustbowl
Gravel Pit
Goldrush
Badwater
Gravel Pit
Granary
Dustbowl
Gravel Pit
Well
<insert Arena maps here>

for example (I'd love plenty of Gravel Pit )

There isn't a map rotation yet. It's just defaulted to ctf_2fort.

We should keep it varied. Everyone has different favourite maps. And tbh, all maps are fun. Just some more than others.

Just an FYI.

I like your suggestion, incidentally.

Meh, I feel that 2fort is only good if it's a 24/7 2fort one because if its anything other than that everyone could be waiting for a long time for a map change if it stalemates (especially if the map only changes when one team reaches a specific number of victories).

I'm not saying we should keep 2fort or anything. It's just the default map on a new install.

I think we should stick to mainly official maps. Which custom maps are most popular? Bearing in mind we need a rotation to please all.

Custom map-wise (if we have to intergrate them ) no Orange maps thanks

Preferably cp ones too imo

I'm not into the whole custom map thing so I wouldn't know what to recommend

Aye, a big reason I don't like custom maps is that it requires a download the first time you play it. Doesn't sound too big for most but I just prefer to play a map I would enjoy (coughofficialmapscough) which doesn't require no extra downloads or sounds.

Kerry, the best ctf games are ones that have a time limit of under 15 minutes. Just my two cents.

I treat the 24/7 2fort servers here as TDM.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Yeah, but do you really want to play 15 minutes for the other maps? It will only give one team a go at attacking and if rounds end up going right to the wire maps could change before anybody even reached the final stage.

Of course, you could change it, but I think it'll just be better to keep the ctf out really.

I think 30-45 minutes for each map before it changes also imo

No, set the round limits to 5-15mins each for ctf, other lengths for other maps.

Or is that not possible? If not just set it to 2 caps a win or something. Idk.

They are fun at times though. _{Especially well.}

Not like I have a stake in it though... 500+ ping? Not a chance I can play with you lot.

Just to comment on your proposal Kerry...

Both pl maps in row?

Just add some arena maps in and mix it up. And gravel pit three times is a bit too much.

Just move Badwater down once and it's perfect.

Well I love CTF maps, especially 2fort and turbine, it can stalemate if you don't have a team working together but I think it would be ok if it is possible to set a time limit on CTF maps. Also, what about cp_granary, cp_well and cp_badlands? what's to stop those stalemating? You can go back and forth between the points all day long without a time limit. Although admittedly, most of the time on those maps one team steamrolls the other pretty quickly, which also isn't a good thing.

Arena empties the server out a lot of the time, so we should probably leave that out for the time being at least.

I can't stand instant respawn servers, what's the point in killing anyone when they are already back again before they hit the floor?

Personally I would want it to be the full 20 seconds, or at the very least 15.

Spawn times would obviously be stock. Anything less murders the attackers.

There's the difference that they're actually good maps.

Official Maps Only	87%	87% - 14
Custom Maps Only (specify particular maps)	0%	0% - 0
Official Maps and Custom Maps (specify)	12%	12% - 2
