PEACE OUT...

Mental note* too much coffee ****s my brain....

Dublin_Gunner

I made my 6 votes! (yes Wonda, I chose the jungly and the snowy ones also! so vote!)

My preferences are:
Laguna Presa Conquest & Rush
Arica Harbour Rush
Valparaiso Rush
White Pass Conquest
Laguna Alta Conquest
Panam Canal Conquest (though I picked one wrong one above duh..)

Firstly you cannot change from SQDM to Rush or Conquest as this will change the server from 30 players to 16. Rush and Conquest you can mix, but only by using the admin tool to change them on the fly.

I normally have all maps that are rush and conquest in teh rotation and it seems to work well.

I'm aware of that. So I was considering maybe if there was enough interest in SQDM & SQ Rush (8 player) we could switch to those on certain nights.

I'm pretty sure you can save a couple of map rotations, then switch to which one you want.

Can you not switch Rush & Conquest by adding them into a rotation in WolfCon?

**edit

You can - using the server map override in Wolfcon. Simply chose which map/mode and add it into the server map override list

Go to screens / info then tick 'maps'.

TheFairy

Have it set up that way already Dub. Will switch it back to all maps tonight.

Sanjuro

My choices are as follows-

Valparaiso Rush
Arica Harbour Rush
Laguna Presa Rush
Panama Canal Conquest
Atacama Desert Conquest
Arica Harbour Squad Deathmatch

Personally, the last two I could take or leave. But the first four I feel are the best game types and maps. They just work together so well.

Anything that's not Atacama. Can't stand that map, it's disjointed and stilted, and annoyingly predictable.

Yeah Atacama is a horrible, horrible map.

Tanks go down middle, choppers fly over head, get hit with gustav etc etc ugh. And that boat is just annoying.

I mean, is it bloody noah's ark? How'd it get in the desert?

Well what I was thinking was, if we just had the top 6 maps/modes then at least for most people, you're never getting to a map and thinking, "meh this map is crap" and leaving.

the_syco

One thing I do notice is that if the map from the beta comes on, the server empties.

Br4tPr1nc3

i suggest laguna presa on rush over and over and over and over.

BeatFreak

I guess I'm the only one who likes Atacama desert then. I tend to prefer conquest due to that being the bf2 style. Not fond of one of the winter maps not sure which.

Scram

for me i love conquest, ive not played any other mode longer than 30mins. but thats just me.

Squad deathmatch, when there are 16 players on the server can be great craic.

CelticDemon

Laguna Presa - rush mode is good fun

Scram

that map with the rusty ships in the middle and the tank and helis, god i love that map. Altica harbour i think its called? Awesome map.

Ha thats gas the differences in peoples opinions! I feckin' hate that map lol

I think it would be better with maybe 1 tank per side, and no heli's. It's just not big enough for a vehicular map.

New patch will allow inf only! Thats the way I like it aha!

lol yeha that was a great map in Bf2 most played one for me. i wish theyd make more bloody maps even remakes would be great.

Such an over rated map tbh.

Fushe,Dragon,Sharqi,Shonghu and of course Mashtuur were far superior maps imo, even Oman had better squad play.Karkand was decent but weak compared to the above maps.

TheFairy

Masthuur was prb the best map along with Sharqi.

I'm surprised at the dislike for Nelson Bay, and the tolerance for Atacama. What do people have against Nelson Bay?

I like Nelson bay - its not the worst. Its a bit 'enclosed' though, claustrophobic if ya know what I mean.

I rather the bigger infantry maps.


As far as BF2 is concerend, I fookin hated the bloody obsession with Karkand, I thought it was one of the worst maps, particularly when infantry only as its so large (the 64 player version).


D22 basically listed my fav maps on BF2.

We SERIOUSLY need to get the maps sorted on the [TiG] server....disaster last night fookin around with the maps 3 times.....to many cooks with admin was it. Peeps changing the maps....

'twas only the 1 person changing the maps though....

A map list needs to be drawn up, and left in rotation - hence my bloomin' thread on the map votes....

See, had people listened to me, it could have been sorted

Dublin_Gunner

From the Map vote, here is what it would be:

Rush:
Arica Harbour

Conquest:
Panama Canal
Laguna Pressa
Laguna Alta
White Pass
Arica Harbour
Atacama Desert


But that's only 1 Rush map, and IMO people like rush, so I'd propose the top 4 from each, which would be:

Rush:
Arica Harbour
Valparaiso
Port Valdez
Laguna Presa

Conquest:
Panama Canal
Laguna Presa
Laguna Alta
Atacama Desert (Arica had same amount of votes, so chose this as Arica is already on Rush)


What does everyone think?

I think we should also have maybe one / two nights a week, a night for squad Rush / Deathmatch

Wonda-Boy

I blame that fairy fella....he has a bad bad case of OCD and cant leave anything alone. Thats why he runs around trying to clean his knife in peoples backs......lmao.

IMHO I think its a case of less is deffo more.....so only have the best 4 or 5 maps. Because when a round is played properly and the teams are good the rounds last longer.

Dublin_Gunner

Well above I have 4 rush & 4 conquest.

Having too few maps makes it very boring after a while.

Woden

I have only being playing rush. I am not sure what stock to put in the map votes though (conquest aside) there is only 6 rush maps.

On top of this with rush being played last night then it was hard to please people with regards to maps e.g. whine when isla inocentes came on and africa harbour came up again.

Don't get me wrong I see where they are coming from. I for example don't enjoy the first stage of the maps where the team needs to effectively "break out" using vehicles only ala Irving when half the team is sitting back sniping it makes for frustrating play. Saying that people need to just suck it the **** up and realise that not every map is going to be there favourite.

Wonda-Boy

Again it comes back to people actually trying to play the game properly....there are so many little things that are magnified x10 when alot of people do it. Take snipers for example....one per squad is great but when you have 2/3 its pure ****! And then they dont even spot.....

Why do peeps join a squad and snipe when there is already a sniper....then you get one fella on the CG buzz and when you get killed by that "Skill-less Mongo" you wanna do it back to them before you know it you have have the server toobin and sniping.....its bollocks.

If we just play the game with a little bit of taught it would be great....have to say I was on the Craggy Island server last night and the admins are 1st class....no stupid moves allowed to make the game much much better for all....no base rape, C4 quads or CG toobin etc and well policed....too.

Some top players on there too I tells ya.

If the [TiG] server is down or empty Craggy is where I be....

kudos

I added Craggy last week, but everytime I go to it, its empty!!!

The thing about playing the game properly is, its not BF2. Its not even a battlefield game. Its a dumbed down, console happy, variant of a real Battlefield game.

You're not going to get people playing it properly as per BF2 (even 2142) as its very 'arcady'.

Administering server rules is a start however.

I usually do don the 'ol admin hat when Fairy isn't there, and I have kicked a few people for actin the b0ll0x. (spawn raping, stat padding, glitching etc).

I think we need server rules to come up on the loading page. That way at least we've informed people of the rules that will be enforced.

fightin snr

Thats the way we did it in the past.... Small server banner, and then left it to those on severs to admin themselves,only takes one or two on a team to let those joining know "Infantry only now m8,leave the tank behind" etc.

Server admins only have to deal with the gimps who don`t listen.

Wonda-Boy

I dont feel that the game is arcadey at all dubs...I think it plays very well and the guns are alot more realistic then the other BF games....I prolly at a push like BF2142 a little better. Its so long since I played BF2 I cant remember it too much but I made Captain so I was good at it and liked it.

But as Fightin said....if you have the [TiG] banner on you have to play properly on the [TiG] server....I mean if you have TIG players spawn raping, etc and CG toobin then how can you tell others to stop acting the fook....also if you as a TIG tell peeps to stop raping and then have no backup to kick its pointless really.....but TBH we dont get much messing on our server....well only SYCO....but he STONE MAD.

I wouldnt kick a person for using a weapon or kit, at the end of the day the game is stats driven and they may be chasing a stat they need to hit.

Yes it annoys me at times, I rant and shout but would never kick. We've been playing SQDM recently and where sticking to Inf only, telling people not to use the tanks, only once did I have to kick someone so players do tend to listen.

At the end of the day its a game, and should be played and enjoyed. So what if someone wants to CG or Noob toob, if they get a rise out of someone I'll bet they'll do it even more even for the LOLs, I know I would!

Play AricaHarbour SQDM with a load of CG's its great bloody fun!
