BF2 #3 - Special ForcesMap Rotation Change Request


20.07.2021, 22:50 - PlatonicSolid - Leading Aircraftman - 6 Posts
Since players tend to stick around more often for Warlord and Ghost Town,
I'd like to propose the following map rotation:

United Kingdom Warlord
Russian Federation Ghost Town
USA Iron Gator
Insurgents Warlord
United Kingdom Ghost Town
MEC Special Forces Leviathan
United Kingdom Warlord
Russian Federation Ghost Town
Russian Federation Surge
Insurgents Warlord
United Kingdom Ghost Town
Insurgents Night Flight
United Kingdom Warlord
Russian Federation Ghost Town
Rebels Mass Destruction
Insurgents Warlord
United Kingdom Ghost Town
MEC Special Forces Devil's Perch
  - repeat

Thank you

Well, that's quite the rotation. It's basically pushing the core idea to the extreme AND it does leave room to re-add Devil's Perch again. https://i.imgur.com/li8jmLw.png The 2 mentioned core maps are also in alternate order which means you're going to change teams every time you meet the map again.

Map voting has been enabled on the server since a while now, but did you see any votes being cast? Sometimes there can be random votes started by a bug in BF2, but the fact of the matter is the fake clients account for 12 automatic "No" to the vote so you need like 18 "Yes" to change map I'm afraid. Let me know on the inquiry (also @Rangers/Officers).

So just a reminder, Donators can claim a perk where they are able to change maps via command on our rotation servers; so far only McSlaine claimed this perk. https://i.imgur.com/1PY94e5.png Thank you for submitting feedback on maps, for anything else related to SF add a reply to the main feedback topic: /SF

Do let me know on map-vote because if it's useless and it bugs out then I'll just remove it.

Regarding the rotation we also have doube Iron Gator which is not accounted for (props to Sjefen_Magnus for reminding). As I said in the earlier post it's a bit on the extreme, perhaps we can take the suggestion of increasing those 2 maps occurrences, by finding a middleground with the exising rotation?

MEC Special Forces Warlord
United Kingdom Ghost Town
MEC Special Forces Iron Gator
United Kingdom Warlord
MEC Special Forces Leviathan (32)
Russian Federation Surge
Russian Federation Ghost Town
United Kingdom Night Flight
MEC Special Forces Warlord
USA Iron Gator
Russian Federation Mass Destruction
United Kingdom Ghost Town
MEC Special Forces Devil's Perch
  - repeat

warlord and ghost get played the most, and are the most favoured maps by many people. id stick to platonics idea, or vote for it, if it comes to a voting.

Hey people, greetings to all smiling I tried to post in this thread the other night, and my post seemed to disappear, so I'll give it one more try. I've played on this server for a while now and I would agree with Platonic and in particular Pegasus's points about Warlord and Ghost being the most popular maps. Warlord / Ghost / Alternative repeat is a good idea to help the server maintain play in my experience. Is their any decision on a new rotation being setup?

I appreciate the server and I appreciate the rounds on this classic game, Thanks to all Lost members who make it possible!

Catch yous later smiling

On the 24th of July I asked feedback in Discord regarding this new maplist suggestion, this is what registered users had to say:

That one does not really have a lot of iron gator, now does it; it's like 1 every 12 or so [edit: 17 actually]

I think we should have the night games be smaller maps. I like leviathan a lot, but it is a pain even with 32 size.
I also think there could be more iron gator on certain days?

I think the idea from platonic is good

Dominiko_PL wrote:

Shark's rotation is better, but more people will stay on the server with Platonic's rotation,
so I vote for Platonic's. Thx for coming to my ted talk

Devils_day_reload also mentioned this topic recently, I believe he also would like to give it a shot and see where we end up. Worse comes to worst the middleground rotation with 1 more of Warlord/Ghost Town can be put on.

I would grant the request, but adding one more round of Iron Gator at the fourth iteration, like this:

United Kingdom Warlord
Russian Federation Ghost Town
USA Iron Gator
Insurgents Warlord
United Kingdom Ghost Town
MEC Special Forces Leviathan (32)
United Kingdom Warlord
Russian Federation Ghost Town
Russian Federation Surge
Insurgents Warlord
United Kingdom Ghost Town
MEC Special Forces Iron Gator
United Kingdom Warlord
Russian Federation Ghost Town
United Kingdom Night Flight
Insurgents Warlord
United Kingdom Ghost Town
Russian Federation Mass Destruction
United Kingdom Warlord
Russian Federation Ghost Town
USA Devil's Perch (32)

I confirm that people play on Warlord and Ghost Town, and then depending on preference. It's worth trying the new rotation, it certainly won't make things worse

Yes it looks like it didn't bother people too much, and didn't bother me either; after all the two repeated maps are the best ones (arguabily Ghost Town can be a meat grinder sometimes, and it's quite easy for people to kill in uncap), but I guess for now it works well yeah, I'm happy that you're happy.
