Thread: Map Rotation

side bar: a map rotation doesnt cause a team to get capped out, the team that got capped out causes the team to get capped out... if i was a betting man, i would bet that the team that got capped out had no battlefield awareness and/or no teamplay and/or multiple unsquaded/low# squaded and/or etc....but not because of a "bad" map or rotation...

case in point: a game on midnight sun last night...our team was doing well, with a moderate lead...then at some point i see our tickets bleeding and having a reduction of flags to spawn at. upon bringing up the map, i see a big blue blob at the one flag we are managing to hang on to. hell, at one point i even saw a flag turn that had 3 squads at it (or 3 SLs at least). apparently our team decided to throw awareness and teamplay out the window mid-round, and as one might guess, we ended up losing (after having like a 100pt lead). did the map cost us the game? no. our team cost us the game (or apparent dissolution of a team, rather).

Sorry but I don't think you actually know what I was trying to get at....
Quary has the feel if you don't start well your going to pay for it... and lose the map...

There were some regs on the other team but once we got a hold of the back flag that was next to there uncap it was basically over... once the rest of the team capped the flags behind our flag... And quarry is made for big tank and air battles so yeah all the flags basically will have at least one tank spawning on it and there at least 2 AA vehicles on both sides the map once the AA guns were occupied by one team no planes would be able to get off the ground...

People started leaving after that because it basically was no fun doing an non-lubricated rape on an uncap and just killing off tickets...

You would think the same thing if you were there....

Now I was thinking that maybe we should do Zatar wetlands as a Prime map... Its fairly wide and most likely both teams will go after the chopper...

Maybe admins should put a vote up for what map we should try to prime instead of oman..

Thats how I see it

Fred you thinkin' the same as I am.

I have never played the full rotation since 1.5 has come out.

There just isn't enough players to keep it going thru the cycle.

How about a top 10 map rotation....on another server...that way you can remove or add any other maps that doesn't work out or players request it because they miss playing it.

Too many air heavy maps in a row,midnight sun,fushe pass,dialan,the clean sweap.
X( give the flyboys a rest.

I vote harvest.

But what both of you miss is the priming. Sure its not important to you because i have never seen either of there while doing it. By the time you guys show up the server is off and running.

True I dont prime the server very often.. I do how ever start playing when the server is still on oman pretty often. I just dont think that the priming of the server is all that big of a deal. we have the same player base that plays at the same time every night.. No matter what map we prime with we are going to get this same player base at the same time coming in to play. I completely understand and agree with having a good map with toys to play with to use as a priming map..
I just wish I wasnt playing cleen sweep, stale mate, and kubra every night.. last night when clean sweep came up we had a full server and it quickly dropped down to 40 or so players and the server didnt fill back up till clean sweep was almost over.. I have alot of the regular players on my buddy list on battle tracker and when clean sweep came up a good hand full of them went and played at a couple other servers for about an hour.
I'm just putting in my .02 to get better map rotations during the prime gaming times for TPG.. honestly we shouldnt have clean sweep come up during our prime gaming times and then to have stale mate come up 1 or 2 maps later is just stupid. I think this map rotation causes a lack of players, not the regulars but the others who come to play then leave for some where else when a boring map comes up.
With BF2 players dwindling down and the TPG server only being full for a few hours a day I think map rotation should be a big concern. this is the only possible way to get new players to start playing here and becoming regulars... Its a known fact that although there are a bunch of BF2 maps there are only a hand full of really popular maps, if we were to play these popular maps more than once during the rotation and hopefuly during are prime time when the server is full we might be able to get the server to fill up faster and stay full longer.. and for fuck sake fix the rotation so the known unpopular maps are not the most played during are busy time, that is just retarted..
When was the last time anyone saw a full rotation of the maps on TPG? who ever does the rotation needs to make sure we are playing popular maps during the popular times to play. honestly, there are a couple of other servers that have full map rotations and even though they suck major ass one of them stays full most of the time. Lets fix the map rotation throw in some of the popular maps more than once and stop being whiny bitches and maybe we can steal some of the suck ass servers player base.
Thats it my rant is over, gotta go watch the rest of the Longhorn game. HOOK EM!

We primarily have the same player base but we do get new players. During priming is when it easiest to tell that. Priming is that big of a deal. Without those that those prime the server remains empty and we would get no new players because it would not come up when someone is looking for a server to play on. I've seen full rotations plenty of times recently.

For one,
I don't play another server, Its just not an option.
Two,
Most other SUCK ASS servers have Suck ASS players.
Three
When Has TTP, ex...um...scuse me, TPG ever catered to Non-Teamplayers?
