Ecgn Beach Map Rotation Request...

by **Heart Collector** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 1:47 am

I would welcome a few new maps. Tram, market, ect.....

I'm getting burned out on beach (still love it, but only beach gets a bit old).

This is the only server I play since I know most of ya's here.

then someone propose a reasonable set of maps that people would be willing to play.... and if its a custom map, make it to where people can download them w/o looking all over the place for them.

This map rotation was tried awhile ago, and it did not work out very well. There were so many complaints.

If the rotation did come back try Depot or Assault. Tram did not fair out well last time.

A map rotation would be nice but only if you stick on a map for a decent amount of time to minimise the annoyance of loading new maps (my computer is REALLY slow). Also I think using maps that are not in the original map pack (or probably the game of the year pack whig 99% of people have) would be a bad idea.

As for maps Chateau is awesome thought I suspect it may be a camp fest with 64 people though as there are a lot of cut off points. Ice is good, tram degenerates into a sniper war and market garden and assault are not to bad. Sub is a waste of time with 64 people.

I don't mind which maps we choose as long as we can agree on some sort of rotation. If the person in charge agree's, which is, I have no idea who???

Chateau would be fun.
I use to play Tram a lot but often get confused on that map but like I said, I wouldn't care which maps you choose as long as there is some sort of rotation.
Fun Beach 2 or the new beach is pretty interesting, but I've heard how Ecgn had already tried this map and everyone was too crowded. I had some great times at the Axis Complex as well. I don't think it would be able to handle that many players though.

we could go back to basics with the default maps on rotation. the server that did this is lost to me thanks to the whole master server no response crap, its got deleted from my faves???

heart, market might not work to well here but would be cool to play on with yous lot.

Glad you posted this Star was gonna do it myself.

lol complex would be chaos, but like last time there will be bitching i'm sure

I would like to see TrenchToast with 64 people. That would be total chaos. Limited lives, limited airstrikes. That would rock. I also like assault, but too many snipers.

Yeah tram and assault are too much of a sniper's haven. Depot would be about the best competitive wise, but it would have two downfalls: 1) it would be in direct competition with Happy Penguin, and 2) those games would last forever - it wouldn't be long before people get tired of it. Village would be interesting, though the graveyard would be like open area version of the war room - and it would be very tough to plant dyno there. Axis complex might be too small. I guess I would still vote for depot and villiage.

Thinking about it, Kung Fu might be a good map to try.

I think any map rotation is a good idea... nobody is saying to have one everyday but like the once a week thing for a couple of hours would not hurt anything... i think if anything it would make the regulars actually want to play during that time... i mean i love the beach but sometimes it just gets way too boring...

by **cateye** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 11:00 am

KoB is right, I think: It would need to be maps that are in the original or GotY pack. Remember, this isn't 2002 -- the server doesn't attract 64 people consistently hardly ever. You don't want to create barriers to people playing.

Although if we ever do hit a full server again, I demand an immediate switch to the Castle map.

You think Depot decays into chaos with a lot of players...

As for an actual rotation suggestion, I vote for anything you don't commonly see on other servers -- so not Depot, not Destruction, not Tram.

I like the 24/7 beach. It's always a good warm-up for other games or a quick jump and out when I get a minute.
Also enforced good game play - PB - etc. is a part of the deal. Thats why I come back.

I hate the map loading time that rotations bring. I have a slow connection - slow computer and I am kinda busy. I know that I am not alone in that...............................

I guess if enough players wanted to created a rotating server then they could do what myself and a few of my comprades do. Rent one. Granted we are not set up for 64 but suspect that it can be done.

Remember this is free and it is probaly set up to attract players to ECGN overall [ my guess ] and their server rentals etc.

We might even consider changing to them if they ever make me a level -10 peon admin like I asked! LOL:cool:
