Rotation? What if. . . .

[GardenGroveVW]

. . . we had a rotation server.

What maps would you choose and why?

also Keep it limited to 5 to 6 maps ONLY.

 

[DEMODER]

Well and Gravelpit are the only two I can think of at the moment. Both are fairly solid maps and would fit well in a rotation scheme, in my opinion.

 

[Jinsei Zetsumei]

donno how popular it would be, but id think the only maps that would work well on rotation, are same type maps, such as our arena maps, so a rotation of,

Hydro
Well
Granary

these are CP maps, which I think would work best on a rotation serve, beacuse they give an equal oppertuinty kinda thing, not one side defends the whole time, then the map changes, but that can also change depending on how much time is put for each map. But I still think a CP with maybe even some CTF maps would work best in a rotation. And theres less chance of one side being steam rolled over and over again with the teams switching up, but that can be said about any rotation server.

chaos
the crane one
orange x3
stronghold
db heights

in my professional pugging experience map rotation servers are very well populated! usually the most successful rotation is ctf_well, pl_badwater, pl_goldrush cp_steel, cp_grainery and 2fort not in any specific order. i know i would love to see a stock rotation server, then i wouldn't have to play at voogru and lotus clan when i wanted to play stock maps :-/

 

[Neurofo]

IMO...Blackmesa, goldrush, dustbowl(cart, not cap point), warpath, and gravelpit

 

[Dreadmaker]

granary, well cp, gravelpit, steel, convoy eek.

It would probably be a good idea to stay away from maps that we have 24/7s dedicated to.

This would also be a great place to bring back maps with a good cult following, like convoy. I loved that map, and I know tons of others did also. Perhaps not dedicated, but a 2-3 hour run at it would be cool. perhaps a 6 map rotation at 2 hours each? that would give 2 runs each day for every map.

I say, no Payload. I haaaate payload.

Fairly small maps seem to be good for rotationals. Keep them all the same mode, too. Maybe..

Well CP
Steel CP
Granary CP
BlackMesa CP

Either that or just a single TC_Hydro server. I love TC_Hydro.

i forgot about dustbowl, i love me some dustbowl

 

[Jubei]

All of one type - arena maps would work well for that.

 

[Culex]

All of one type - arena maps would work well for that.

There is a rotating arena server already.

And dustbowl is a good map.

 

[Insurge]

Just have toyfort in it and i'll be fine

 

[R.E.D]

First, thanks for asking GGVW

Second, I think 2FORT is a must have.

 

[Prince Abu]

Wouldnt really want a rotation server, but if so, Gravelpit for sure, and also blackmesa original.

 

[Bugen]

stronghold
dustbowl
steel or hydro
granary or well
orange or toyfort
badlands or goldrush

 

[Killa]

For me, it would have to be: db_heights, ctf_convoy, cp_granary, ctf_well(or cp), and cp_toyfort. Side note: I still think they should have remade that 'wacky races' map, it was the best road trip map ever!

 

[Secret Agent Steve]

Orange_X, Steel, Gravelpit, Well, and Toyfort

 

[subtle_turtle]

I would suggesting going with the core Valve maps (well, dustbowl, gravelpit, badlands, etc...) and not including any custom maps at all.
The reason for this is that I think a lot of times players who want to be on a rotation map do so to get a taste of the game and experience multiple maps. Having to wait and download a custom map is time consuming, and if a player just want an overview of TF2, they may not want to stick around for the time it takes.

 

[Josey Wales]

Well, Granary, Gravel Pit, Badlands and Convoy all cp except convoy and badlands naturally... ftw

As long as they don't get to crazy and its only a short list of most loved maps you would be good so it would need to be a project to make sure a general populous would enjoy I mean it can't only be what we like since we are not the only people that play on the servers so I would check out non clan members opinons too
