Battlefield 4 Suggestions brought up by players

I have been approached by players on the all pop server that asked why would we have a 24/7 lockers and siege servers but the give the option to vote for these maps during a all pop rotation. I have seen while playing that servers would be full to the brim but lockers wins by 2 votes (lack of voting on the players part too) and the majority of the server leave. I told them that I would take it up with the community and leadership and see what the consensus would be. Thoughts, ideas or comments?

Similar discussion was brought up in leadership discussion regarding removing lockers from the rotation. The short answer is it brings variety.

Here are the points brought up in that discussion :

I personally like to leave lockers on the rotation as it gives me abit of a break from vehicle centric maps.

this, plus a few more points -

#1 - its the most popular map in BF4 by far. So why should we remove the most popular map from a server that goes by the tag line of "All Popular maps"

#2 - Its a server filler, specially during the nights.

#3 - removing lockers will make the server not show up when someone searched for servers running lockers, this may be a huge problem as our server will show up less in searches when people are looking for servers running all the maps, or even one. We lose that crowd right away.

#4 - If the logic is that because we have a lockers server we should remove lockers, then we should also remove Shanghai now, which also does not make sense.

#5 - it actually makes the server less redundant, as wize said as all other maps on the server have vehicles, lockers is a nice change to the flow giving infantry a chance. It makes the server more vibrant.

#6 - the current map rotation has done amazingly well for the server, so why change it ?

#7 - We have votemap on there for a reason, if the pubs are voting for lockers then it should go to locker. That plugin is there for a reason. The server runs of it, not on a flat rotation.

thats my thoughts. I dont see a point in removing lockers. Again remember the servers need to be popular with the pubs as that is what dictates how well they do.

fyi, all pops just ran a round on lockers, completely packed all round.

Well that hit the nail on the head. Definitely will keep all those points in mind when people rage about it. Thank you for weighing in on the discussion basically wrapped this up haha.

Rizzo I agreed with your first post but after seeing the "science" behind it, I realized I should just keep quiet and let the smart guys keep the servers running great lol

I agree whole-heartedly. The 24/7 Maps are for the people who like to play the maps all day er'ry day. The All Pop server is for those of us who like variety. I like having lockers and siege on the rotation. This is probably a mediocre analogy, but think of a Gym - say Gym A has a pool AND a work out area, while Gym B has only a work out area. Some people may enjoy mixing swimming and lifting weights/running on treadmills, etc. While some people may just want to lift weights/run on treadmills like Gym B offers. It's a mediocre analogy because if that was the case, they could just stay on the one side of Gym A, but you get the point.

Yeah honestly neither of them are my favorite maps, but I do like them and I like to play them sometimes. I am one of those guys who like a variety of maps, I enjoy our server because of that. I wish that the maps I voted for were played more often, but nothing I can do about that. Anyway I'm saying that I like the server as it is.
