I gotta say, I really am not a big fan of sunsettown. I'm not sure why, but nothing about it really appeals to me. Convoy, while not my fave map, is still fun to play, but when I play sunset, I always feel like I could be having more fun on a different map.

I think convoy is alright, but its too imbalanced for classes, obviously sniper freindly and also pretty medic heavey freindly as i discovered the other day. It just deostnt feel like a tf2 map to me, no long space to fight on and no big open areas, just feels to thin. Theres no tf2 tactics in it like sentry positions because they can just be sniped so the only sentries you get set up is in the base. I just feel like every time i play convoy its the same scinario. While sunset town on the other hand i think is awesome. Its really diverse, offers every class a fair chance. Theres lots of cover and ive had amazing fights in pretty much every area of that map, no area there is dry. The only critisism is perhap that once you ahve the intel it is a little to easy to cap, but the rest of the map is amazing.

Actually, once you get a feel for the layout of Convoy, it's easy to play any class on that map. As for snipers, yeah it's a pretty open map but that means that the sniper positions are pretty open as well and it always turns into a sniper war. The snipers take turns shooting each other while I run around stabbing everybody.
For my opinion. Convoy is my favorite map in all of TF2. In fact, I joined eGO because of our Convoy server. I was looking for Convoy servers to play on one day when I stumbled into ours. I've been coming back ever since. If you take a look at the logs on that server you'll see that we have the most consistent players of all eGO servers. Players that play that server come back day after day, and the fact that most of us seem to be older players might explain why the server is kinda bare in the mornings and then fills up when we get off work and stays full all night.
The fact is, Convoy is almost an eGO exclusive. There aren't a lot of servers out there running the map any more and the ones that do are so poorly admined that I can't stand to play on them. Our Convoy server is well admined and can guarantee a good time for all players, just ask anyone that enjoys the Convoy map, they'll tell you that our Convoy server is worth keeping (and, thankfully, the counsel agrees).

Long live Convoy! This is by far my favorite TF2 map and the sole reason i joined eGO. It's got a cult following and anybody in that following would easily disagree with rob here:
"no long space to fight on and no big open areas, just feels to thin. Theres no tf2 tactics in it like sentry positions because they can just be sniped so the only sentries you get set up is in the base. I just feel like every time i play convoy its the same scinario" - Rob
Firstly - the map is OUTSIDE - aside from down below, the whole map is a "big open area." I could name at least 5 other great sentry positions besides the intel room that work great; if you're a really careful and crafty engee you can easily keep a tele/dispenser/gun setup going on their rocket and just unleash havoc on their base.
O yeah - one more thing about those snipers - they're never a problem when i'm spy. i think that most people who play on that server would agree.

This discussion, like many others about maps, comes down to what stays full. Don't worry, even if we move your favorite map from a 24/7 server, you are likely to encounter it in scrims and other eGO special events.
Rotation has indeed been tried, and does not keep our servers full, so is not being considered at this time. If you look at which servers have the best record of staying full in all of the TF2 servers, you won't find rotation servers among them.
