Title: Dustbowl Map
Post by: Smurfette on October 25, 2009, 07:24:46 PM
Some ppl have commented that they feel we are playing dustbowl to much.  We are currently running both PL and CP Dustbowl.  Please vote for the one you prefer and the one with the most popular vote will stay, the other will be removed.  Thank You!

I like both and don't mind playing both as the gametype makes them play differently enough to provide variety.

THIS NEEDS TO BE EDITED AND PUT BOTH AS AN OPTION!

The point is to eliminate some of the maps we tend to play over and over again, and replace one of these with some of the CTF maps.  But, I will edit it for you SCon - No need to yell about it!

Sorry caps lock was on and I was too lazy to retype :)   I wasn't yelling!

Yes get rid of some maps, but if this map is enjoyed, then why get rid of it. 

Lets get more regulars here to vote!

I'm just partial to payload in general. Dustbowl, to me, seems like it was meant to be a PL since the beginning, even the track was there since the beginning. With the PL version you have a different dynamic with the choke points than you do with the CP. It just feels like it flows better on PL.

But either way, one has to go, many a night we end up playing both, and let's face it, either version is really not cut out to be played with 32 people. When the server is full there's a lot of red owning cause they have like 6 sentries up to guard an area smaller than my backyard.

Well, this is a hell of a vote.  The exact reason I wanted to not put up keep both as an option.  That way ppl were forced to only vote for one and then hopefully avoid this cluster ****!  We need to do something - I personally am tired of playing the same map every other time.  I know I'm not the only one.  What can we do to resolve this?

Yes hun your right, but leave it alone if people are happy.  Just keep the vote up for another week and advertise in the server.  Someone bitches, tell them to come to our website.  if people like it with both, then we leave it!  :)


We need to vote new maps as a whole or chnge the rotation.

that seems a little biased...seems that those that like both should get a say too.  Plus with the vote for next map the way it is, seems like people choose to play it...just like hydro, which I personally hate.

Yeah, I'm being biased - I voted PL Dustbowl!  But, if we had just left it the way it was, we could vote to keep ONE map and then as the other poll we have going is doing, get some more maps in the rotation to replace the one we took out.  Sry if I am coming across biased, but yeah, I guess I am.  Just my opinion as you all have yours!

As said before, if we change to a set rotation, we could move these two maps far apart.

It occurs to me, that there are more votes for taking one map away than there are votes for keeping both.

4+4 = 8
VS
6

So while we haven't reached a consensus on which map to keep, the majority of voters agree that there should only be one version of the map. That would mean that the "keep both" people, are actually in the minority, which should be taken into consideration.

I would have voted keep both if it was an option at first.
