Suggest the next 1 or 2 maps for our rotation.

[Video_Master]

Help us select the next 1 or 2 maps for our rotation.  We want our user base to select this.  Once we get a bunch of ideas we will put up a vote or just tally the number of each map and those will be the next ones.

Current Rotation:
CP_Dustbowl
CP_Gravelpit
PL_Goldrush
PL_Badwater

Thanks,

VM

I have checked out the pl mill map and i really like it.  It is my understanding that it is kinda old, a custom map, but I think it would be something worth trying.  Also, I thing cp junction would be good.  I like that one to.  But, like I always say, I'm a noob here and I don't really know what most ppl like, so those are my suggestions, take 'em or leave 'em.

I vote for PL_Dustbowl

I think we should stay away from custom maps. Downloads always mean lost players. I think someday we can add custom maps back to the sever, but right now we're fighting to get as many players as possible.
So here's the list of official maps that we're not running:
ARENA_Badlands
ARENA_Granary
ARENA_Lumberyard
ARENA_Ravine
ARENA_Well
ARENA_Watchtower
cp_badlands
cp_fastlane
cp_granary
cp_junction
cp_steel
cp_well
cp_egypt
ctf_2fort
ctf_turbine
ctf_well
tc_hydro

Of these I would like to see ctf_well, cp_egypt, and ARENA_Lumberyard (possibly ARENA_Watchtower instead). I think this would add a nice mix to the map rotation. I really like hydro, but it's hit ad miss. It's great for keeping a full house but not good for populating. So I'd have to say leave it for now.
One custom map I'd love to see on there someday is pl_tower! Love that map!

I have never played any arena maps so not sure what they are, but it is new so I'm willing to check them out.  Whatever you all decide on I'm sure will be fine.  I would like to see what more of our regular players have to say about this though.  I have not heard anyone say in game or seen anyone on here to make suggestions other than TE members.  Is there any other way we can put up a vote in game or something - not sure how that works. 
Just a suggestion.

From my experience the CTF maps are kinda on the outs hence there are so many more CP and PL maps.  As for the arena maps those are really hit or miss.  I would not be opposed to adding 1 or 2 in, but we might have to wait till the server gets more popular again.

Maps that I would like to see are:

CP_WELL
CP_EGYPT

I agree with VM on arena and CTF maps, which is why I suggested another PL map.  Egypt is fun but it generally kills servers from my experience...happy to give it a go though if majority likes it and see what happens

[Giant Flying Head]

Well I only say Egypt cause it just got a face lift and seems to be getting some popularity because of it. I would say at this point no more then one arena map, and late on the rotation. Varity keeps people playing. This is also why I suggested a ctf map, also to be added to the end of the rotation. Egypt I think should slide some wheres in the middle for a while to test it out.
Lets keep the discussion going.

[Smurfette]

Not big on Egypt, but since it was just redone, I'm willing to give it a try! 

[Hitman Smurf]

I still think pl_mill, ppl love payload maps and it's ton of fun...I hate egypt BTW, not the country the map. If it has to be a standard map then I say fastlane or cp_well.

[Luggage]

pl_mill looks like fun and I do agree that payload maps are very popular

Of the standards:
hydro: best of the rest although hit-or-miss with the masses
well: ok - often get a deadlock
granary: ok / negative -- gets one sided too often and bleed people
badlands: ok
fastlane: ok / negative -- gets one sided; often bleeds people
2fort: too often a deadlock so eventually lose people
egypt: old one sucked; no comment on new one since haven't played yet
Arena maps: fun but hit or miss with masses and many people get frustrated when they die early or can't join first game since game starts before most people can load up

Also, I throw out PL_Dustbowl again: it's pretty decent unless you think that is too much dustbowl for a short rotation

[Smurfette]

Thank you Luggage - Mill does look fun don't it!  I only got to play around on it a little when the hubby showed it to me, but I think it looks major fun - lots of good hiding places and sort of a challenge to win.  Also, from my understanding, it hasn't been in rotation for quite some time, so I think it would be worth a shot.  That is my main map I am going to push for.  Whatever else you all decide I will support.  I can't really stand the 2fort or egypt, but I'm willing to give the "new" egypt a try.   

[Hitman Smurf]

I'm sure theres not enough new about the "new" egypt for it to be much different than the "old" egypt.

[Giant Flying Head]

I'm pretty sure we're gonna have to stay away from custom maps. DL = lost players every time. When the sever has some more strength then I think it'll be time to look into custom maps.
Also, if pl_tower isn't on the server can why at least have it available for us to change it to? I really think you guys will like it!

[Smurfette]

I think we have a lot of good suggestions and we need to put it up for a vote - pick the top 2 and just throw them in the mix somehow.  We also need to try to run something in game that encourages ppl to come in and vote!  We are filling the server pretty much every night and the numbers are showing it - up 100 pts just in the last week!
