Can we get a map rotation

**SovietDooM** · 06-05-09, 09:41 PM

I know i haven't played here long at all, but it doesn't take long to know that the first map in the rotation is a bitch to start and when you do it just a lotta flag hoping. The last times i primed it the game was always decided by who ever had the gunship to anyways. Its way to large of a map to work with only 8 player, Tunis Harbor, in my opinion, would be better suited to starting the server. Small area and even balance on the vehicals. This is just my specualtion as to what would perhaps be better for starting the server sooner.

The reason a map like this, or a titan map leads the rotation is due to the subsequent ability to use armor/air assets while priming. It can be tough once the rounds start, but for priming-especially if it takes awhile-it holds interest longer for primers than a map like, say, Cerbere with little to no armor.

The armor, gunships/transports always keep me hanging around. Tested, tried, and true in most cases.

Although, I have to agree with the quote but in a different sense.... For "primers" it does get a little monotonous at times. I think keeping the starting map fresh every week or so would help priming. Not sure how hard it is to load a map in the configs but i would bet it would help priming. It would keep interest and gain earlier participants.

We've just recently switched the rotation.. we try to do this fairly regularly (every couple of months or so) to keep it as fresh as possible.. The difficult part about switching the 1st map out every week is that only high admins are able to switch the rotation, and with all the other things they do, the constant request for map changes in the business forum might wear thin pretty quickly.

That's understandable.

BUt....Keep in mind, there are quite often admins in the game or in the Control Console and If you ask, and there is one, they might be able to rotate the map to a more favorable one you might like to prime.
