Everyone,

I'd like to get your feedback on some possible changes Hammer and I were talking about earlier today.

Server #1 - Reduce rotation to ins_baghdad, haditha, sinjar, ramadi and have all maps available for voting (Yes, I have RTV working). 3mins from the end of the map, a vote comes up to choose the next map, otherwise it goes to the next in the small rotation. To initiate a vote mid-map requires 60% of the server to say RTV. This is mostly a behind the scenes change that shouldn't affect server population.

Server #2 - 24/7 Baghdad FF ON. This is obviously the more drastic change. Baghdad is a well-balanced map that most people seem to enjoy. We also discussed Sinjar, because it's also popular, but there are already many 24/7 sinjars out there and it's too easy for Marines to get bottled up and the game goes downhill from there.

Currently we're basically running two of the same server, and we'd like to mix it up a bit. I've got some more plugin goodness coming in the next day or two that will help with adminning on both servers, and as I mentioned above I finally found a big enough stick to beat RTV with that it works properly.

So I would appreciate your constructive feedback, and everyone's will be considered on it's own merit.

Thanks,
- Dryft
 
I like the set up of #1 and #2.

FF ON, I think many people want this back, I know I do. So if this is voted back in, admins beware...here comes the TK'ers.

I really like the idea of RTV and Voting on #1 and reducing the maps! As long as Buhriz is gone I am a happy man. Like USCG mentioned with FF on Griefing is going to up in a big way on #2, but other than that these changes sound great.
 
I really like this idea. Having RTV on our big server will help to keep pushing it forward. And for a 24/7 map I think Baghdad is the best choice, it has such a combination of long and close range combat and is the map I think I see the most having stalemates, or a near equal number of wins for Marines and Insurgents. As for the FF On and the griefers, I'm ready and will deal with them as needed. The other thing though is that the scoring on HLStatsX I think is a little skewed with TK's, and with how its setup, it encourages people to play on FF off. Other than that, I really like this idea.
 
I like the idea of FF ON, however Im not too excited about baghdad. I think I favor #1 as it leaves the option open to the players. Nice to hear you got RTV working :)

So is there another map you'd rather see run 24/7 or do you not like the entire concept? I need something to work with here =)
 
i want ff on on one server and both with all maps it seems like the old rtv with all maps is doing better now than the ff off regular but one thing the night maps kills the server alot of pubs leave when they come up

Night maps are going to be removed from rotation.
 
Options
server #1 add in almaden and buhriz to the short rotation, drop haditha

server #2 FF on is good, I'd make a very short rotation of Almaden, Baghdad, and Buhriz. 24/7 of Baghdad seems a bit monotonous.


my 2 cents

I still don't understand why Almaden seems to get so much support, it's so frustratingly slanted towards the Insurgents. Can someone explain that to me?

For the small rotation I tried to select maps that are balanced between both teams, and leave the others in the vote choices. There should be very few instances where it actually uses the rotation since most people will vote for the next map.
 
The reason why sinjar, and almaden get SOOO much support, is because no one plays on the americans on those teams. If you have ever played with a bad team or even good, but unorganized players, on marines, you know how amazingly frustrating it can be. Insurgents just sit and shoot and rank up. I hate sinjar the most cause there are times where you just have no chance. Almaden however, you can have chances.
 
Server #1 Perfect.

Server #2 - This sounds perfect with one add on. RTV. This way, if people want to play FF ON on other maps they can. It would be the best of both worlds, with it reverting to Baghdad.
 
I agree Sinjar is frustrating for Marines, but I've seen Marines push Almaden pretty well. It does force them to work together though.
 
I like the proposed changes with the exception of Baghdad only. I love FF On. It can be more frustrating but is more realistic, and that is kinda the point of this game isnt it?

I like either a small rotation of maps on the FFON server or the idea of one map with a RTV option.

Yea the night maps suck. They would be cooler if you had night vision.
