Thread: Seriously... Bridge at Rem.

guys yesterday i noticed right when Bridge at Rem came on a 30 player server droped to 4 players I know i think we should take it off the map rotation or even take off NS maps off the rotation.
just a thought

I like Bridge.

Voted to keep it - just move it further down the map line up for a while. I hate to get rid of any maps cause I like the variety of playing them all every once in a while

hmm i should thought about the admin part but just wanted to know what everyone else thought

Well...... not to undermine your vote, it will be good for checking the water, but......

One of the things that has made us strong IS the fact that we offer every map. If it were up to me, I'd kill the rapefest known as Berlin. I detest that map from both sides. The only map we've ever pulled out of the rotation has been due to a glaring glitch/exploit that we even told EA about and still has not been addressed.

I hear your concerns, I'll discuss it with the rest of the high admins, but I seriously doubt it will be pulled from the rotation. Maybe later today, I'll move a different NS map into its place, but NS maps are still going to weed a lot of people out.

I voted to keep it, keep it all. That map is FUN as heck. If the population drops, xfire some friends, tell them to get off their arses and help the server up. As long as the game hasn't officially started, you can mess around.

When what he is describing happens, you can't really xfire 20 people to come in and get the server started.

Plus, if you have already spent time that day priming the server once, to only have it depopulate on you, that is a real pain in the ass.

It's not horrible, its just the fact that it destroys the server almost every time it comes up. Why would we want to do that? Counter productive.

I understand your point laggy, but if its acknowledged that these maps slow down and/or hurt the server population, wouldn't we want to consider that its not worth the effect its having? I'd rather have the server stay fully populated instead of playing a few maps and then bam, its back to square one. That does happen sometimes.

Just a thought.

On the flip side, it is almost like penalizing the people who did spend the $10 for the upgrade by getting rid of the benefits of upgrading.

Just devil's advocate moment

i have nothing against any of the NS maps just the population drops i think they are fun

Here's an idea. Many people like the map when it's populated, just find a big, slow map when everybody leaves.

Chicken or the egg?

Are you leaving because you are assuming that it's going to be a big slow map?

If so, you are contributing to the problem that makes people dislike the map.
