Thread: Poll: What would your ideal 2142 map mode configurations be for the servers?

I voted other, although what I would personally like to see is the servers stay as they are now, titan and conquest. That way you can choose to play what you feel like playing that day, it gives the player a lot more choice.

The 'other' part is that I would like to see the maps that are, in general, supposed to be conquest, on conquest, and vice versa with titan.

So no Suez, Sidi, Minsk, Shuhia, Verdun, etc. on the conquest server. Instead, go with the maps that are primarily infantry combat with a few vehicles in support, like Belgrade, Cerbere, Tunis, Gibraltar, Shingle, etc. It is pretty clear from the way that maps are designed which mode they are really intended to be.

That is the problem in my eyes right now, as far as preference goes. The titan server doesn't have to worry about playing maps that weren't meant to be titan maps. You don't do Cerbere or Gibraltar on the titan map, but you still have to play Shuhia on conquest. It's kind of odd to me that way.

It is only the combo (playable in titan and conquest maps) that break the play style up. Pure conquest maps flow so differently that say, Minsk on conquest. You always feel like your playing Titan mode without the Titans.

I voted both "mixed" with the Frau option reverse the map rotation order on one of the servers.

Two identical servers that just have reversed map orders doesn't make a lot of sense to me personally.

It just takes away the choice, IMO.

If we are going back to a mixed server then I'd rather change my vote from what I put under other, to one mixed and one top5.

Two identical ones would be the last choice for me.

this is players talking to players

this poll is just a player poll

Yes, I read that, Frau.

It also doesn't mean our opinions will not be taken in to account if others choose to make any changes based on what is presented here.

Ya just never know

I think going from what we have now, to making both servers identical, just not playing the same map at the same time, wouldn't really be of any great benefit. Just my opinion as a playah too

All I meant was that if two identicals were going to win the poll, i'd probably shift my opinion vote over to my next best choice, in case some day anything is done.

Been thinking about this glad you made a poll. I like the mixed mode idea. I voted Mixed and one top 5. But two mixed could be good. I don't want to loose NS it's what brought me to TTP because when NS came out thats all I would played. But we should skip the NS map in the beginning. It never fails to empty the server. And from a primer stand point it makes us have to do our job all over again. So I vote mixed mode with a titan>conquest>titan>conquest>NS or something similar.

I wonder if we did one mixed mode, the way it was but leave bridge on titan...

and then do the other one as a conquest only server. We could do a poll to see how many of the maps people like on conquest and then vote up for the top so many maps...

Just because a map also has a titan does not mean it is a bad conquest map. Somewher in the world of this game people have had set ideas about conquest being smaller, evern with 64 players...and that is just a blood bath. The larger maps hyou have to spread out more and know what is going on more. It is not just 1 squad trying to break the line. I like both, and I think both a place.

All the conquest only maps are for 32 people, we could change the larger conquest maps to the same size and see how different they play, that way people still get transports and things like that. I don't think the maps are bad as conquest, I just think we play them on to large of a scale.

If I wanted all close encounter conquest I would go play cod4...oh wait I do

But I def miss the mixed mode. That was what brought me to TTP to begin with.

I think, just from the people I speak too, that conquest is the more popular mode with those folks.

Some I know don't like titan because of the whole corridor thing, and experiencing lag or fps drops when the titans get crowded. It is also a really different style of gameplay, because of the numbers of vehicles.

I don't think all titan maps are poor on conquest, but its certainly a different flavor of conquest than you get on the mainly infantry maps.

I still don't see the point in having two identical servers. It wouldn't address problems such as map rotation, gameplay style, or things like remagen on conquest killing the server a good portion of the time (or any NS map really).

All it would do is reverse the map order, and leave the various issues that folks have discovered untouched.

Also, DJ, if titan is ranked lower than conquest, might that not be for a good reason? Perhaps a good number of people find the conquest game mode and map style more enjoyable. I'm not saying everyone, but the numbers, as you point out, do suggest that conquest is more popular than titan. Why not just address some of the map type issues with conquest, and restructure the titan server to be top 5 titan maps, etc. Cutting out some of the maps on Titan and rolling with the top 5 might help to reinvigorate the server. People might come to that server in larger numbers if it was the popular maps only.

I can't see a good reason to force people that no longer enjoy titan, to play more titan. Might that not encourage people to go get their conquest fix elsewhere?

If one is ranked higher than the other, then there is a reason behind it.
