[poll] The Sniper Map on Orange

[Food_Fight!]

I want to open this up to as many people as possible so I'm posting it in the General Forum.

I've seen the Orange server go from filled to half-full in 2 minutes flat on the sniper map over and over and would be happy to see it gone. But I know some people love it so lets vote on this once and for all.

Please Vote.

Orange is a playground......it is what it is.

The sniper map isn't what Orange is all about in my opinion, Orange is about chaos, running out there and shoot a whole bunch of people, tossing as many nades as you can and getting mowed down by MGs.

...not everyone hiding with snipers.

Flea, food, and blonde are right. I personally dont like it but it is part of the rotation. I would like to see rock the vote come back, this way the people on the server at that time can make the choice.

 

[Food_Fight!]

Will you VOTE on it. Sheeeeeesha.....USE THE POLL!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mostly Harmless]

LOL....sorry at work commented real quick forgot the poll !shy

voting doesnt matter. players do. fill the server RTV is there for a reason. to vote. personally i enjoy that map. many others do as well. USE RTV. no need to vote on something that can be changed in game.

 

[Magnum X]

i like the map
it would probably be better with flags so there can actually be a winner, but it's still fun to just kill everyone

RTV's not working right now...

I like the map... I don't usually get to use the sniper mostly because I'm not very good with it and I don't want to waste a sniper spot. But on the sniper map it gives me time to practice with it and since the class is unlimited it's good for everyone to get a little practice in. There are small orange maps and big orange maps. It's a way to balance the rotation.

RTV is a good plan to have when this map comes up....
its nice to have the option so the entire server doesnt die down
personaly i think that it should be kept on the rotation but RTV should definatly be able to be used so the server doesnt die.

 

[Shotgunboy]

Sniper maps are always fun for some and horrible for others... I guess it depends on the class you play but it's always good to have just incase.

Very true, great point. Even thought I'm not a fan, I stay on because I want the server to stay at least half full

 

[Kahless[Jones]]

RTV is back so if people hate it it will change leave all the maps so we can choose.

 

[Blazing Heat]

Love sniping, but hate the map...too much about luck

But it does get some people at times...there are other's that kill the server.

 

[Yoo-Hoo!{RD}]

The problem arises when people vote incorrectly. They could be getting shot at when the vote comes up, hit 1 to bring out their primary weapon and--oh... looks like they just voted for their least favorite map of all. Some other random guy sees the vote come up, doesn't know any of the maps whatsoever, and just decides to vote for the map with the most votes (which is only winning because it's the 1 choice).

The only idea I have to help that I know is easily implementable is to reduce the RTV timer restriction when we go to a new map. How could it be excessively abused if RTV must be voted into effect? If people don't want to keep changing the map, they won't RTV.

Then again, I suppose it is possible for a majority of the players to not want to play on 'this map' but then disagree on which map to play, leading to successive RTVs. The fact is, it's a very tricky problem. You need to keep things simple so people are encouraged to participate and actually understand what to do, but at the same time, you need to reduce the amount of rubbish votes.

Geez Yoo-Hoo...You hit the nail on the head there.

I personally don't like the map. I think the bridge one is way better of a sniper map.
