Title: Map Rotation
Post by: AKP on August 20, 2009, 12:17:34 PM
I know something along these lines has been asked for before... but can we PLEASE have it set up so that when a team wins the war, the map you were just playing on is taken OUT of the rotation of maps to be randomly selected for the next one?

Example:  Knights win the war on the pizza map / pizza map is NOT available to be selected for the next map for that arena.

I have seen the same map pop up 2 or 3 times in a row...  Nothing against any one map (although some are less favored than others) but sometimes it just gets a little old.

When map is reset due to winning the war, it's automatically changed to another, different map. A map doen't come back up after an automatic reset. It can happen (and mostly will) after a manual reset due to new tour, new version, reopening LWB after TT...

So my guess is you did see SMpizza before TT, and now again?

Nope... just last night in MW.  War was won on the pizza map, came back not much later, and it was the pizza map again.

I don't think the map rotation is random.  I think it's a list that determines what comes after what.  Maybe the list is borken and Pizza is the only one on it.  Was Skuzzy really hungry when he updated the map list?

Yes it is.
I once tracked map rotation for a whole tour over all main arenas, the list was not random at all.

So when the same map came up again in MW, it's most probably a bug with the rotation there.

Roger... I will keep an eye on it.  If I see it again I will report it as a bug.

I just wish the bases didn't reset when the war is won. Irritating as hell to suddenly end up deep in enemy territory with half a dozen kills in a 4-Hog when you're on landing approach and with tanks almost dry as someone resets the map on you.  :furious

There are 8 terrains in the rotation for the Mid and Early arenas.  However, if the list was updated between terrain resets, it is possible for the same terrain to come up one more time before the rotation list becomes effective.

Gotcha!  Thanks Skuzzy

That must have happened in BLUE today.  This morning or afternoon sometime.  SMPizza, reset, SMPizza.
