Server Rotation

[CaffeinePowered]

I thought I'd make a perpetual sticky rather than thread that pops up every once in a while, below is the current rotations for both servers, feel free to comment, I will also be putting a new map pack up and doing some house cleaning in the next two weeks on the number of maps.

Server #1:

pl_badwater
cp_indulge
cp_gorge
pl_frontier
ctf_haarp_test7b
cp_gravelpit
pl_cashworks_rc2
cp_badlands
ctf_snowdrift_b3
pl_upward
ctf_landfall_rc
cp_egypt_final
pl_boundary_rc3

Server #2:

cp_dustbowl
pl_badwater
cp_gorge
cp_well
pl_upward
cp_badlands
pl_goldrush
cp_granary
cp_yukon_final

It is, I just posted what stocks it was, which are just goldrush, badwater, and dustbowl, and nothing else.

As much as (some) people like frontier, it tends to clear the server.

Surprised this hasn't generated the usual shit-storm that accompanies any post about rotation.....


....Frontier seems to do a reasonable job of filliing the server though, I really wish we could Meridian on or something, but its so xbox huge

imho indulge and mach4 need to be off rotation, they seem to to a better job of emptying the server than filling it, if theres a bunch of us, obviously this isn't the case, but I can remember better than a dozen times both maps killed the server with 18+

Then what custom maps do you propose to put in their place?

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

Can we replace mach with impact?  Impact hasn't been on rotation in a long time.

[zaneyard]

personally, I think blue version should be all stocks, no crits
pretty happy with the rotation on red

[CaffeinePowered]

Impact2 substituted for mach4 for the time being

We could put a voting system on the server, just to collect data on what maps people like and then use that to decide what maps should be on rotation.

Not sure how you would do this, you could log RTVs and what not but those are real switches and I could just check the logs as it is right now to check play history. We have tried having no rotating and having end of map voting, the problem is because of the large number of maps we have, you could end up with 6 obscure maps up for vote.

It makes me sad that we only seem to be getting a decent number of people on badwater/dustbowl/goldrush since I'm getting so sick of those maps.  I actually like every single map that is on rotation right now, but I just wish one of the Big 3 wouldn't pop up every other map.  Why oh why do so many people refuse to download custom maps in this game?

Because that would take 5 min of their precious time, and they are cunts


I've always found that as long as you fill the server on a custom, you can RTV to pretty much anything and retain most of the players

Needs more Cp_Science2

Rotation updated, dropped nucleus and labor, added snowdrift
