By now most of you have noticed we have moved to new server boxes on the east coast. Because of this when porting over the old server configs invariably there are a few things that get lost in the shuffle or arnt exactly the same once the servers come back on line.

One of the above items was our map rotation list. You may (or may not) have noticed a few never-before-played maps. I personally played a few maps that seemed to be in beta stage. In discussing this it became clear that now would be a good time to once again elicit opinions from the community as to which maps you guys want, and perhaps more to the point, which you dont want.

For simplicity sake lets assume that both of our servers will run the same list of maps. Also it is the intent to run RTV on both servers.

Its been my experience people easily come up with fairly concrete negative feelings more often then positive ones. (for instance, how many times do you hear people saying neither of the presidential candidates they really like but they DIFFIDENTLY have one they DONT like.) To that end, feel free to put together a top 5 list of most liked, or if its easyer top 5 most hated maps.

If you want to give reasons great, but the fact of the matter is, a clear concise list is just as informative when trying to gauge community interest as a whole.

Capy edit: Here is the list as of 1700 2/20/09 (Fearless's post)

Hate:
Karkar x3
Ramadi
buhriz x3
Sinjar
al-Hillah
Samawah x2
bagdad

Like:
sinjar X5
bagdad x2
Almadan X8
Karkar x2
Haditha x3
buhriz x3
Ramadi x2

I dont have any maps that I hate.

My favorite maps are Karkar, Sinjar, Almadan and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Haditha.

My input is that we should not add any custom maps until we get the stock rotation locked in.
Once we do though I like: Trenches10, Tranches6, and Amarah (Duh, bootcamp map)
 
Love: almaden buhriz karkar

Like: baghdad sinjar haditha abdallah ramadi

Dislike: al-hillah samawah

would like to try those 2 ones we havent seen: Šibenik and Opsada
 
Like in order:
Haditha <3<3<3<3
Baghdad
Almaden
Ramadi
Buhriz

Don't like (in order from least liked):
Sinjar (HATE)
Karkar (HATE)
al-Hillah
Samawah
buhriz (love-hate relationship)
 
I love them all. I don't like when there's only 6 maps on rotation. I like variety.

Edit: Yes, I like night maps. Haditha, doesn't make much difference. Samawah (night) is better than day.

Edit2: How can you have insurgency without push maps? It is a challenge for Marines, and so I try to pick them on push maps. Push maps cause the Marines to try to play together and they do. Even if they aren't, it still gives me something to try for.

lol yall are crazy haditha night owns! i like all the maps especially buhriz haditha and sinjar

LIKES for insurgents: LIKES for Marines:
Almaden YES NO

Abdallah YES YES

Baghdad YES YES

Buhriz YES Yes and No

Ramadi YES YES

Haditha YES x 2 YES

Samawah YES Yes and No

Sinjar YES (but gets boring) NO

Karkar YES Sometimes

Al Hillah YES YES

Might be forgetting some maps, but it seems like the map will not be liked if the marine side doesn't have a chance. Insurgents always have a chance so the like of the map from insurgent side is easy to say yes to. Capture maps (as opposed to push maps) instill a greater ability and need for people to work together and provide a much more even playing field for everyone to have fun.
 
Fearless, I would love to include your input, but I need you to distill it into a list of maps you like and don't. I don't know how to put in your votes with them like that.
 
I'd definitely agree with what Fearless said. Push maps are a lot harder to like, especially if marines aren't cooperating well. I've seen too many a sinjar, almaden, and buhriz where the marines are pinned to 20 feet of their spawn. I don't even know how the insurgents have fun camping like that. It just gets so boring.
 
Well, to be more specific than my last post, I would say that capture maps are all pretty good (and baghdad as well). Push maps need to be taken in small doses or people become unmotivated to keep playing; at least in my experience. Either that or at least institute an autoteambalance plugin.
 
I went through some of our custom maps with a couple eGO members and this is what we came up with:

CALLOFINSURGENCY (rainy map) = REMOVE
INS_[ABW] NURISTAN = REMOVE
INS_ABW SOFTTERRAIN = REMOVE
SOFTFOREST = REMOVE

CROSSROADS = KEEP
INS_ABW SOFTCITY = KEEP
INS_DIYALA = MAYBE KEEP
INS_ROOFFIGHTFINAL = PERFECT 5 ON 5 MATCH (something very small to goof off on)

I did send Capy a list of other Custom Maps and I'm waiting to hear what he thinks.
 
I think INS_Hermes needs to be added. Anyone thats played it recently knows its become quite a nice map.
