I just wanna thank you guys for everything especially your map choices as of late.p.s. everyone loves a stock map now and then ,oh and CAN WE GET AT LEAST ONE SD MAP ROUND HERE lolplz.Keep up the good work.
Hey PW, it has been rocking, and the maps have been great, thanks Grizz and Kimo. I agree sprinkle a stock map in the rotation, may I suggest Moscow and Breacourt?
For the S&D thing, I think we could have make that as an Admin choice, instead of changing the rotation. Say you and a bunch of people are on the server, you could ask the admin to make a certain map S&D and play it that way. I've noticed Pubbies tend to shy away from S&D...
Just my 2 cents,
John
S&D Toujane can't fail. I think everyone will agree with this. Even random pubbers ...
Hey guys ! I am happy you like the newer maps. Some of them have been more succesful than others recently, especially with the newish or "never-before-used" maps becasue, while they may look really nice in screenshots or even during tests, it's not until we all actually PLAY ON THEM that we realize if they are actually fun or not for a given gametype.
About the stock maps, we've been including at least ONE or TWO stock maps in the rotation for the past few months. We try to rotate them too obviously and we may keep them for a second rotation so another gametype can be used on the next one. Right now, we have Matmata in CTF and Wallendar in DM mode. On the next rotation, matmata will have completed its 2 rotation cycle and will be replaced with another STOCK map and Wallendar will probably go to CTF mode.
As far as SD goes: while not really HIS choice, an admin may very well change to SD (or any other gametype) on the fly, but only IF most of the people on the server vote for such change. The server does not "belong" to the admins obviously and i'ts there for EVERYONE's enjoyment, but as admins we are all required to have majority vote from those currently on the server, whenever we are about to CHANGE something like the map, gametype, or server settings like gravity, speed or even round duration. ;)
I am a fan of SD myself -always have always will- but the BiA server has always been a TDM/CTF server from the start (with the ocasional "DM" thrown into the mix) however, if some of you would like to have a specific gameypte like SD or HQ, permanently added to the rotations then talk with your clan leaders and/or bring up the topic on the next BiA meeting for discussion. :)
Thanks for that informative response Kimo
I forgot to mention, as of last BiA meeting - a request to try LTS or Last Team Standing was brought up, as it is in the server messages but we have not played it for quite some time....
can you make one map, maybe stock LTS gametype?
Done! Matmata changed to LTS and wallendar to CTF. ;)
