Map Voting!

[Flipperk]

Pulling this one back from dead, i am a little tired of playing the same map over and over again, lets see if we can this ball rolling again

I'm still behind you, although the channell 200 thing sounds a bit crappy

I am opposed to map voting. In any game I've played with map voting, only the same 2-3 maps are played constantly.
Also, I'm generally in the minority in that I like to play on a variety of maps. I think a simple map rotation is the best approach.

If opposed then make sure 4 or so maps are played before the previous one can be picked again. aka the game selects maps that werent the ones picked over the last 2-3 rotations

This idea has merit..........

Exactly, this was brought up on the first or second page

When a map was played it would be moved to a black list and would stay there for 2-4 rotations. While in the black list, the map would not be selected for voting but after 2-4 rotations that map would be then moved to the green list. 3-4 Maps will be selected at random from the green list and be voted upon for 5-10 minutes before the arena the closes then reopens with the winning map. Maps that are not voted move back into the green list for another chance to be selected and the whole process repeats.

This would ensure that one map will not be played more than once, but however will not take away the popular maps for very long either.

Necessity and Chaos make together world as special and funny  as it is.
So I vote for no voting map selection.
Or to have it randomly every x weeks with x random too!  

   



ps

i wish a map with multiple seasons backgrounds: winter (snow), summer (desert), ...

Lets wipe the dust off of this thread.


I still say that this idea has great merit, given the recent whines of the community lately about the map rotation I say we vote

I say lets have a poll to see how many people are aware that there's a poll.  then poll the one's who are aware to see if they're interested in voting.  then poll the interested to see if they would bother to cast a ballot in a map voting. then...

oh what the heck that picture was worth it grizz  .

  +1 over a few weeks playing can't wait!

+1

But in pure speculation I'd say that the majority of players don't have the map names memorized. A lot of voting would be based on "that name sounds cool" as opposed to "that map looks cool."
