A 'small' maps server?

[Stamper]

A small maps server might be a good idea, with like Firestorm, Minotaur, and that map with the flag in the small room outside on the fog that reminds me of Obfuscication(?)

8v8 or 10v10 or something?

Class idea...this in addition to the servers at the moment or d'ya mean split it so that there's one large map server and one small map one? I can see a lot of people being happier knowing the formatt of map they're going to be playing...
***** 5-star Bru award Dave m8, fantastic suggestion.

No, this is not a good idea. This is one step towards alienating some maps like we all did in T1. It was a sad day when we lost Scara and Broad (2 class maps) and its a bit early to start doing the same to T2. Keep the rotation, keep the map voting off. Play the game.

 

[Stamper]

I never said anything about changing the map cycle, I only suggested another server with a smaller player limit and smaller maps.

Sometimes you just want a small quiet game, not a low fps lag fest.

And Mongrol, there was a reason for Scara being removed from the map cycle on most servers, maybe one day you'll realise that

Scara rocked.

I say stick up a server with just a t2 version of that on.

Also, I want an underwater server, a shrike only server and a zero gravity one, for when I'm feeling bouncy.

If we can't have any of them then maybe a small maps server might be an okay idea. That said I still don't quite understand why Dyanmix made about 3 decent sized maps and dozens of these tiny ones with the flags next to each other. I mean how they hell do we organise tactics for a map which is no bigger than my bedroom?

Erm, LoL Mongrol - talk about a contradiction, by disregarding these smaller maps then wtf do you thinks happening to them?

I agree with Stamper, we need a server with a smaller player limit that has maps such as Beggars Run being rotated.

 

[old.Torque]

Give the maps a chance lads. I don't think we need to start removing maps from the rotation yet, because that is what we would be doing by excluding the bigger maps.

Also some of the smallest maps have the worst fps.. Beggars run comes to mind + so far I have had no probs with the 32 player servers ~ unlike the megagame one which is unplayable for modemers.

 

[old.ruWank]

Err, wtf are peoples problems with this discussion - NO-ONE is saying remove the "bigger" maps. We're only asking for a "smaller" maps server...and the ONLY way to do that currently is to REDUCE the player limit on the actual server itself. How about instead of giving the bigger maps a chance, we actually let people have the choice of playing some of the smaller maps? (on a SEPARATE server to the larger player number servers). Atm the small maps are NEVER getting played so people aren't having much of a choice. I like the big maps don't get me wrong, but I'd also like to play some of the smaller ones aswell.

EDIT: I forgot to add Torque because of you you've made me lose my 69 posts =[

 

[old.zach]

sounds like a good idea to me.

i mean i cant remember ever playing maps like Firestorm, Minotaur, dust to dust and beggars run on bw servers.

erm, I already said I didn't want the map rotation changed, just a new server would be a good idea.

I personally like Firestorm and minotaur, but playing these maps on 32 a side would be crazy and just be one big standoff.
