just a little map thought...
« on: November 21, 2010, 09:10:08 AM »
What if after every map won or map reset the players could vote on which map they would like to play on next, except the 1 that was previously used. It would be like that plane poll question type deal when you logged into that arena. Just a little thought since so many ppl are complaing about the map order, let them decide what map should be choosen next . Thanks, RedTail

Anything besides the "pizza pie" map...

And I think therein lies the problem to this. People would vote for the same two or three maps and never give it any variety.

Then always exclude the previous two or three maps from the voting list.  That would prevent it from getting boring.

+1 on the OP.

true wldcat but instead of excluding the last map used how about excluding the last 2 or 3 maps, that way there would be variety.

But would it still be the "voters' choice?" Once 3 of the maps have been played, all that's left are the "remains." If we got some new maps, I could see this working relatively well, but until we get more maps... I'd say it is a decent idea.

we have plenty of maps its just that HTC doesn't use them for the MA like they should. there are pretty nice maps that arent used for the MA including snow and desert terrain maps.

Well, until HTC adds them into the mix...

It's not a bad idea at all, it's just we need more of a foundation for it.

My guess is the current strat system and newer graphics updates broke a lot of them.  They probably need to be re-done or updated.  And for the most part, I believe they are player-created...

well id update if i knew how but unfortunatly i dont. What is wrong with player created maps i would think they would be best since they are from players who know the game best and what they would prefer for a playing field

Nothing's wrong with player-created maps.  I'm just saying the players gotta make them, and they take a lot of time...people do it in their free time.  It's not like HTC has a staff of 10 people who do nothing but work on maps all day.  We must be patient and wait for the map dudes to get them done, and wait for HTC to validate them before adding to the rotation.
