Server Rotation

Runtime and others are interested in establishing a server rotation. I would like to do this also. I suggest having a base rotation along with RTV availible for players. Please post what you would like to see in a base rotation.

badwater, dustbowl, match 4, arena nucleus or sawmill or lumber yard, eygpt,

I think goldrush and steel should be in it. I don't like lumberyard though.

I need quick reply on this forum!

And this forum needs a better theme!

Anyways

avanti
2fort classic
royal
balloon race
arena nucleus
arena sawmill
warpath

convoy OK but its not a good map at all
harbl hotel havent played it much but its a joke map and I dont think it will fit that well, would not support it
pl hoodoo is not that great of a map do not think it will work well
plr pipeline maybe but its overplayed dramatically


As for standard maps
I personally dont want any 5 CP maps like granary fastlane cause I play them on tf2f and competitive servers but others may want it whatever
I also think gravelpit is a terrible map to play on a pub because its hard to work together and all that
dustbowl is overplayed a lot Id rather not play it
turbine, mach4, goldrush, badwater all overplayed so I'd personally rather not play them - if I had to choose one though I'd take goldrush

I most enjoy playing maps that aren't played that often and good looking customs - its all about customs for me

We have to consider what the more popular maps are, Runtime. No doubt we will have a good rotation, but you will have to bear with the players when they choose a popular map.

How many maps can you upload???

I would go with:

avanti
2fort classic
royal
pl hoodoo
pl goldrush
mach4
bad water

Egypt... I'm not a big fan of it...

I would like to see mach 4, royal, convoy, avanti, and science on the server


As for a rotation:
badwater, mach 4, dustbowl, 2fort, egypt, sawmill, goldrush, royal, badlands, steel

badwater, pipeline, mach4, dustbowl, goldrush, 2fort, turbine

there's usually a new influx of players who come when pipeline is put on.

Hmm interesting point about Pipeline Xexes.

+1 for Pipeline.

badwater, pipeline, goldrush, turbine, steel, pl_frontier, pl_cashworks, pl_hoodoo, fastlane, granary

Ok so the consensus so far is:

pl_goldrush
pl_badwater
plr_pipeline
arena_sawmill
ctf_convoy
pl_frontier
cp_dustbowl
ctf_mach4
pl_hoodoo
ctf_2fort
ctf_royal_b3
avanti_b1
arena_nucleus
ctf_2fort_classic
cp_steel
ctf_turbine
cp_science

Up for debate:

cp_badlands
cp_fastlane
cp_granary
pl_cashworks
cp_warpath

Need some more opinions in this thread!

And I want some more customs!

I like nucleus, 2fort classic and steel

I like science. If one more person agrees I'll move it to "consensus" category

I also like science

What about the classic maps?

ctf_well_classic
rock_b1
ctf_badlands_classic

Any of you like these?

I'm not really a big fan of any of them, but they bring back some nice memories from OD, and I'd like to play maps I haven't played in a long time.

+1 for ctf_badlands_classic!

I was really enjoying this map back then!!

We have quite a few maps already, but I wanted to mention a few more and see what you guys thought about it:

pl_cranetop (this one I really enjoy)
cp_lazytown
tc_hydro (I like this one too)
pl_dbheights

We could put them in for RTV and play them whenever. We want the rotation to bring people in

Ok so the list is:

cp_science
pl_badwater
arena_sawmill
ctf_convoy
pl_frontier
cp_dustbowl
ctf_mach4
pl_hoodoo
ctf_2fort
ctf_royal_b3
pl_goldrush
avanti_b1
arena_nucleus
ctf_2fort_classic
plr_pipeline
cp_steel
ctf_turbine

Any objections?

OMG! Amazing!!!! Just perfect! I would'nt change anything for now!!!

All that is left is for doc to make it so. Are any of those going to be just for RTV?

Well this was supposed to be a rotation thread, not an rtv thread (that was the other thread)

Are there any in there that you think shouldn't be in the rotation?

No I like that rotation. I think cashworks should be on the server though

I just got FTP access from Nightwatcher, so I'm going through and setting everything up now.

The map cycle was:

cp_gravelpit
cp_dustbowl
cp_granary
cp_well
ctf_2fort
tc_hydro
ctf_well
cp_badlands
pl_goldrush
cp_fastlane
ctf_turbine
pl_badwater
cp_steel
cp_egypt_final
cp_junction_final
plr_pipeline
pl_hoodoo_final
ctf_mach4
cp_redfort_b3
pl_borax_b3
cp_roswell_b3


and now it's:

cp_science
pl_badwater
arena_sawmill
ctf_convoy
pl_frontier
cp_dustbowl
ctf_mach4
pl_hoodoo
ctf_2fort
ctf_royal_b3
pl_goldrush
avanti_b1
arena_nucleus
ctf_2fort_classic
plr_pipeline
cp_steel
ctf_turbine

Is that ok?
