well, I discovered Dragon Valley was already in, so the map list as of now reads as follows:

Karkand
Wake
Oman
Sharqui
Mashtuur
Dragon
Zatar
Kubra

As you see, all the city maps are upfront, while the rest is in the back. should I mix it up a little ?

I have the day off, so I have the opportunity to change the order before playing starts this evening. Just post your recommendations

I d say mix the airmaps so you get something like infantry, air, infantry, air, infantry etc. Btw you mentioned taking out wake cause its an unbalanced map, did you change your mind about wake? Could you take out zatar two and replace it with something we havent played yet.

Agreed! B.Schuss, pls get rid of wake, its like Echo said before, way too unbalanced. Personally I dont have any arguments against zatar. Havent played this map yet on the EU-Server and also for a long time now.

Yea, the first couple of maps should be popular ones to get alot of players, karkand, oman, sharqi, mashtuur. And put maybe one of 2 new maps in, if wake is out, maybe try a different airmap like clean sweap. Put something in that we havent played together before.

Clean Sweap would be nice too.

first time yesterday we´ve played the new mapcycle. Was pretty nice.
I feared people will leave the server when Dragon is the map, but we had a nice battle (hi dancer) battle out there and nobody leaved, cool.

I guess this is a damn well mapcycle atm.

I like those maps very much, excellent for armor- and jetwhoring Greatwall is a cool map too, I like those grenadespamming battles on the walls.

Unfortunatley not everybody owns EF, so I guess it is not a good idea to put those maps into the mapcycle atm. Maybe we could add them nevertheless, to do a vote on them if we wanna play?

although I like the EF maps, I agree that most people don't have the expansion. Vanilla BF2 is still the most played part of the series, I'd say.

We'll stick with the current mapcycle for now.

can we get rid of dragon valley on the EU server.  it is soooooooooo long and gets quite boring.  or at least find a way to make it shorter somehow.

I think its safe to say dragon isnt very popular with the bf2s guys. Could you change it with a map we havent played before, clean sweep/songhua stalemate/dalian plant?

I wouldn't cry if Dragon were removed. It's playable but it will never be my favourite map.

why dont you try clean sweep as that has good infantry battles, jets etc i hardly ever play it but its a very balanced map
You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

remove dragon and give us an extra serving of sharqi!!  me luvs sharqi...got a little of sumthing for everyone except plane whores and i can't remember many bf2s planewhores.

another thing to consider: the server is usually not full.  most nights we'll have around 40 players.  when people are searching for games they are much more likely to join our server if they see we're on sharqi/mashtuur/karkand than if they see us on dragon valley or some of the bigger "plane friendly" maps.  as an experiment you may want to try the following setup:

sharqi
oman
karkand
mashtuur
daqing
sharqi
dalian or clean sweep
mashtuur

so you got 5 city maps and 3 air maps.  i think that would increase the server population.

also, on the bf2s eu server last week i got into a game that had 64 players on mashtur but was played on the 16 player size map.  don't know if it was a mistake cause it only lasted one round and then we went back to 64 size maps.  it was a blast.  be cool to experiment a little with this concept?  you can take almost any air map and turn it into a city-type encounter by playing 64 players on a 16 size map.

You re talking about markimus's little experiment on the eu server. He wanted to see what happens if you got 50 guys on a 16 player map.

We re not planning to put 16 player maps in the normal cycle.

That would be interesting though, especially 16 player Karkand...

We could do that sometime just for fun but i dont think it will be fun to play 16 player karkand every day.

I know we must start with Karkand,but after that can we have some other map then Sharqi or Oman.
PLZ!!! i'm starting to get really fed up with that mapcycle.
Maby it's just me.
