Rotation? What if. . . .

[Captain Calle]

Epic maps!

I'd like to see these maps if we're only going to use maps we're not using on 24/7 servers right now:
1.) CP_Badlands
2.) CP_Fastlane
3.) CP_Gravelpit
4.) CP_Granary
5.) CTF_Convoy

My vote goes for these maps if we're going to replace some 24/7 maps:
1.) CP_Badlands
2.) CP_Fastlane
3.) CP_Gravelpit
4.) PL_Goldrush
5.) PL_Badwater Basin
Oh wow, my favourite maps on one server? And they're all made my Valve? Awesome! Most people have to download custom maps first... Many players leave the server because of that!

I would suggest that for a rotation server you only stick with a single gametype, i.e. dont mix and match pl, cp, and ctf maps. I'd also suggest that we stay away from maps we already have 24/7 servers for and that a stock map rotation is better, it appears to be very difficult to keep custom maps full consistently. With that said I'd suggest the following.

cp_gravelpit
cp_steel
cp_fastlane
cp_badlands
cp_well or granary

I don't feel like there are enough solid pl maps out there to do a full rotation server, and I personally don't like ctf.

I would have a rotation of..

Dustbowl Capture Point
Dustbowl Payload -dbheights "I think"

Same map, just mixes up the objective.

 

[Zerockas]

If we had a rotation server, I would like to see Convoy come back. I would also like castle4, which is an excellent 3 round capture point map that is well balanced but unfortunately underplayed. Mach4 and floodzone are both decent maps that could be rotated. The Horus map can make for some interesting gameplay too.


In any case, I think at least one roatation server would be good because I know that I'm not the only one who tires of playing on one map over and over and likes to switch it up a bit.

p.s. Put castle4 in. Seriously.

 

[Sn1PeR]

Chaos
Cranetop
Some variation of well, cp or ctf
maybe the train one. !chair
toyfort

 

[FreakingHell]

I think that we should make the dustbowl server rotate cp_dustbowl and pl_dbheights

 

[Dreadmaker]

I already posted, but after reading through a bunch, I realized I forgot some. Ideally, I would love to see Convoy, dbheights, and fastlane. I love fastlane (and I REALLY love convoy )

 

[WhiteSoxFan5622]

Orange X3
Cranetop(only the final one, beta doesnt load right)
Steel
dom_canalzone

Thats all i can think of right now.

1) Chaos (may be my favorite map)
2) Sunsettown (I think Shake n Bake did a good job on this map)
3) Convoy (fun for short periods of time)
4) Rock2 (One of my favorite TFC maps and I can never seem to find a server running it.)
5) Toyfort (but only if it's possible to do low gravity on map change, otherwise, forget it since Toyfort is only fun with low gravity turned on.)
6) dbheights (how the heck did i forget to list this one?)

I like that except swap Chaos for Bank Job
I forgot about sunsettown when I posted my suggestions.

hehe, no-one noticed Tiddy slipped in the tiddy map with his selection. That would win for sure.

Haha I saw that XD Tiddy has a map now.

Well_cp, Granary, Hydro, and Gravelpit are a must. Why should we have maps in a rotation server that we already have up for 24/7?

 

[Morbo]

Some part of me still holds out hope that 24/7 CTF Well will return some day. I'm pretty sure that is not going to happen, but I will say that it is my favorite map, and I will do almost anything to be able to play it again. Perhaps it would work better in a rotation.

Gravel Pit, Badlands, Granary and CP Well are all maps I enjoy, albeit not nearly as much as my beloved CTF Well. Fast Lane seems decent, but I have not played it very much.

There are a few great custom maps, such as Toy Fort, but I would limit how many are in a rotation, if they are in there at all. I keep hearing about Convoy, but I've never played it. If I understand correctly, it is a remake of the Unreal Tournament map, switched to a CTF game mode. Sounds interesting to me.

 

[koolaid]

dustbowl, goldrush, 2fort, blackmesa, badwater

 

[GardenGroveVW]

Any more?

 

[shadohunter]

lazytown and 2fort

If we were to do a rotation server, I think it'd be perfect for some of the Valve maps that really don't get a fair shake: Hydro, CTF Well, Gravelpit, Granary, etc. Some of these maps are really fantastic, but just don't seem to draw in a crowd for hours at a time. (To be honest, I've often questioned why maps like CTF Well and Hydro are at the bottom of the played list, and part of me thinks it's because of their position on the list that turns them away. People just don't give them a chance. eGO really seems like the type of place to be able to reinvigorate these maps and make them popular. And being able to corner the popularity of these maps could be lucrative for eGO. )

I'm not sure how the council feels about it, but I think one thing that would be great on a server like this is the ability for players to be able to vote on the nextmap. This would allow the council to determine the popularity of the various maps in the rotation. If one map proves to be more popular than the others, it'd be a good indication that it might be ready for its own 24/7 server. Realistically, a server like this could serve as a testbed for any future maps the council is considering adding as well. Just throw it in the rotation, see how it does, and go from there.

Updated version of what I said earlier:

cp_badlands
cp_well
cp_Hydro
cp_Gravelpit
cp_shock (http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/41389)
cp_stag (http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/52321)
cp_Aqua (http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/51482)

 

[J_landry]

As long as convoy gets in I'll be happy

 

[Super88]

I say Hydro, Well(CP), Granary, all those older maps. Possibly another dustbowl too, Idk.

 

[Ballzac]

I'm not sure if this was said but, a rotation of every type of map (attack/defend, intel, cart, and points)

maybe like: Dustbowl, 2Fort, Goldrush, aaaand im blanking on the other map but ya know.

I keep thinking about this... and I think if we have an =(eGO)=? rotation server... it should be custom maps made by the edgegamers clan members.

Example: =(eGO)=? |Custom Maps|Edgegamers.org|HLstatsX|Recruiting*
It would have a rotation of all community made maps. And it could be switched up every month or something.
It would give the mappers something to work for... getting their map on the rotation server XP.
