Conisidering the popularity of the eGO servers during primetime, I thought about the implications of a third server. What would be the best map? Would there be some thought put into the new CoF plugin by Red Comet? One map or rotation?
I personally like the idea of the plugin, but chiefly for the centrally-distributed shot pattern above all else. For a map, most people seem not to care much for either rotations or some regular maps like Colmar. I don't mind Jagd too much, but it's very difficult to get an even match with it. I realize that the Axis generally dominate Avalanche and it does well, but I think there's more that recommends itself to Avalanche than what does Jagd. Kalts okay, but I think it doesn't have universal appeal.
Personally? I like both Flash and Argentan. True: Axis generally have a big advantage wtih the former, but it does remain fun as a challenge. I suppose, taking evenness into perspective that Argentan is the more equal map.
Rotation? I don't think that would go over well. There are a certain portion of players that prefer rotation servers because they want the whole experience, or they're much more casual gamers, or some other such thing. I believe the map-dedicated ones prosper because the dedicated gamer gets into Steam because they want to play (duh, I know), but then have a certain map they want to play on in particular. Getting into a server wtih the map you want and then having it switch 30 seconds later can be irritating. Suddenly you're playing a map you don't particularly care for. Dedicated works for me.
So; If there by chance would be a third server... would there be interest in a particular map?
