Rotation Shake Up?

[CaffeinePowered]

since when does the age of a map determine if we play it?

2Fort is a fun map and it is dumb to not play it

We got sick of seeing the server on dustbowl/2fort all the time, we took a vote and decided to nix 2fort since a lot of the time no one ends up winning. At least in dustbowl no matter WHAT, either Defenders or Attackers will win.

Id actually pick heights over dustbowl for PL versions, heights actually made the first two points capable, with pl_dustbowl we had to STOP PLAYING to get past the first fucking cap

Yeah... it most certainly had nothing to do with your skill...

Well both teams held at cap 1 for pl_dustbowl, heights we went all the way to cap 3, heights just seems more balanced IMO

I wasn't at TFT yesterday (not like I'm at most of any) so were the pl maps good?

Also, I say we add bess_jump to rotation.  BEST. MAP. EVAR >:O

[Wedge]

Yeah, I didn't really care for the DB pl versions, I'd rather just play normal DB.  The heights thing was... amusing at least.

And 2fort is unecessary, because Mach 4 is just a better version of it.

[Ianki]

Heights did seem like a better PL dustbowl design,  though i think more we need to play it a couple more times before we can really add it to the rotation.

So you are not going to put the 2nd most popular map in rotation because it may not result in a winner?  That's what sudden death and time limits are for.

Servers been doing pretty fine without it, I would take out maybe Hydro for it

More than any map changes, I actually really miss overtime.  I understand it may not work with most maps or during pub times, but I love it when a closely fought contest between regulars gets down to last man standing and doesn't just fizzle out in a cocktease of a tie.

As for rotation changes, I think one night is not enough testing to put any map in the steady rotation.  Let's try out those pl maps for a couple of weeks to see what the gameplay is really like once everyone learns the sentry points and chokes.  Of the two dbowls, I like the first we played the best (the more open one, had more radical departures from the cp_dbowl).

Am I the only one who is completely unimpressed by aqua?  As played-out as 2fort is, I'd take it any day over aqua.

[Fail Medic]

I would also like to see a return of Sudden Death.  I pledge support for this.

As far as the map rotation goes.. whatever.  I have my likes and dislikes any which way and they're ultimately irrelevant as long as the server's full of people I like playing with.

[A. Crow]

can you implement a plugin that will kick people if they talk for more than 30 seconds out of every minute in a "my balls haven't dropped yet" pitch?

You're not alone. It's impressive to look at for about two minutes until you realise the layout is shit.

[ZoSo]

Hydro blows in my opinion

[cannedpeahes]

Aqua isn't in there? Put that shit in.

Personally, I like to see some variety, as long as it's not too frequent and/or arduous.

[Versus]

I like hydro.

[CaffeinePowered]

I like hydro.

You can still vote it

There already is a plugin. It's called talking to one of the server mods/admins. ^_^

I agree with rumsfald. Sudden Death is fun and as long as it's not over played I like 2Fort more than aqua. Also pl_heights and cliffhanger would spice things up in rtv.

[Ceceil Felias]

Cliffhanger, while a novel and silly concept, really needs some work before it's functional map material. There were so many issues with it I don't know where to begin.
