24/7 S&D

Hey... this is new.

What's up with that?

suck.

TTP has decided to go with a Top5 rotation for the CoD4 server as well as changing the game modes to be the popular ones.

The maplist is now:

mp_bog
mp_broadcast
mp_crossfire
mp_crash
mp_pipeline

The game mode has been universally set as S&D as this is both the most popular game mode and the best thought out from a gameplay perspective.

I urge all of you to give it a try, as the alternative is shutting down the server.

But Bog? Seriously? I haven't played in a while, but that is too open for S&D unless major changes have been made to it. At least it allows for the campfest that map normally turns into to be legitimate now...then again, I remember that being the reason it was taken it out in the first place.

How is Bog a 'Top 5' map? I don't even see it in the 'Top 13 Maps Poll'.
http://www.texasteamplayers.com/index.php?topic=39969.0

I see the Top 5 in that poll to be:

Crossfire
Vacant
Broadcast
Pipeline
Bloc/Chinatown/Crash/Strike/Overgrown

And even those, I voted upon with their game mode in the rotation.

Is it possible to get another map poll up for S&D only?

whatever, still need people to help prime. :5

We aren't going by top5 voted by TTP (at least not for the initial 5) we are going by global play numbers.

How so? S&D is the most played mode globally, it theoretically should attract the most players.

I meant, a poll for which maps players like in the S&D game type.

But if you aren't using a voted map list, then another map poll wouldn't really make any sense.

given the current top maps poll had 12 votes when we talked about making the changes within the admin forums......it's pretty irrelevant.

the bog choice was made based on the % of servers playing maps in the top100 ranked by game monitor and gametracker. The SnD choice was made based upon the coincidence that SnD is the highest played game mode for all the chosen maps, if not superior to even TDM, but neck and neck with, or 2nd place to it (and TTP doesn't support TDM nonsense).

here's the admin thread, FYI:

obviously, only 12 votes (pretty sad).

looking at the game stats....again...it's just sad we can't make this thing work.

time to cut out the crap maps, and focus on the attention getters (like the 24/7's). Time for CoD4 to be a Top5.

According to the top 100 and top 50 servers ranked in gamemonitor and gametracker, respectively, in the US, the top played maps are

mp_bog
mp_broadcast
mp_crossfire
mp_crash
mp_pipeline

for bog, the top modes are:
11% on DM
6% on Dom
5% on HQ
8% on sab
23% on SnD
40% on TDM (unacceptable for TTP)

so.... SnD for bog.

same method used for other maps means map list =

mp_bog - SnD (23% of all servers)
mp_broadcast - SnD (40%)
mp_crossfire - SnD (56%)
mp_crash - SnD (63%)
mp_pipeline - SnD (30%)

So.....essentially we're a top5, AND a 24/7 SnD server.

vote.
