MAP ROTATION

[prime]

Hey Fellas and Ladies....

Any chance we can get Creek, Killhouse, Cargo, and Farm added into rotation?

Thanks for your consideration.

+1 Creek
+1 Killhouse

[Kovic]

Good idea, throw em all in and mix it up!

UMMMMMMM WHERE ARE THEY?

[prime]

Really... Nothing... Come on, all the cool kids are doing it....

[Beetle]

Kill house & Cargo are ok in very small doses.
Imo its enough that Admins switch to those every so often.
Farm doesnt work on the server.
Creek is great

[SPAZZA]

Can we swap out Bog for Creek?

[prime]

I'm bumping this back up... Come On Grygh, hook it up

[Boards]

Really guys? Creek is silly.

[MRFUZZY]

NO ON CREEK

[prime]

Okay so no on creek, what about countdown in its place? and 'farm" is downpour....

[Boards]

Creek is very one-sided, sorry. Countdown is a more balanced map and so is Downpour. Either is good.

[MRFUZZY]

I AM OKAY WITH DOWN POUR AND COUNTDOWN

[whippr]

I'm a big fan of downpour. I also like creek because the map is pretty....

Countdown is fun too.

Also Winter Crash is nice. Very festive!

[Gryphus_1]

They are all in the rotation now, even Winter Crash.

Interesting that the new maps you "added" still look like the same maps in rotation with 0 difference... any chance you can recheck that the new rotation took?

[Gryphus_1]

If you think that, the new system working exactly as designed. I might need to up the probability of a few.

New system? Whats wrong with just setting a map rotation and leaving any kind of "AI" or "New System" out of the equation.
A playlist on repeat... ahh the good'ol'days...

[Gryphus_1]

Ordinarily I'd probably agree with you, but in this case, it's much better.

So is it much better because nothings changed? lol Honestly now... did you really, really add new maps or are you just feeding us the water pill...

Explanation

Okay well it is flawed... I play on the server more than most and according to that, I should have seen a different map in the last 2 years....

[Gryphus_1]

There are 21 maps in CoD4. Two of which are inappropriate for more than 10 players, one is a seasonal variation and five, despite what people say, consistently drop the server population if not emptying it completely. Leaving 13 maps. Safe to say you will see the same map twice in two years.

As I stated in the other thread, the probability of those five maps coming up can be increased however they will never become fixtures.

To the server population drops, most of those leaving are hiding in a corner of a map they do not know, or do know, waiting for the one perfect shot for 20 minutes that never unfolds. Making room for new players that may not like the repetitive 3 and 44 guy locking a team down to 1 spawn location.
Just playing the devils advocate on that remark.

I'll rephrase, I have not seen a "different" map come up in 2 years. With the current map rotation settings, there is no variation, its the same maps over and over again regardless of server population or probability of other maps coming up. Again something must be wrong, please check and see how many times the maps have shown up, the ones listed and asked for in 3 separate threads do not come up.

There is on occasion, or has been before it was taken away, a few admins that would change the map rotation manually.
Other than those few instances the rotation does not vary and can be easily set and tracked/mapped.
If it were randomly generated along a probability factor we would not be able to track every rotation
Example Current rotation = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Random Rotation = 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 2 3 1 4 6 5 7 1 4 3 2 5 7 6
And we haven"t even added in for server population yet


The probability that we should have seen a new map must be set along the same odds of winning PowerBall or higher.

Ohh and safe to say if what you're saying is true something other than the normal 8 would have come up in the last 2 years, given that there's a map change roughly every 12 minutes and there is only 13 choices. I'm not doing the math on that over the last couple of years, but safe to say I'm sure that once in the 1.7 million map changes there would have been even a mistakenly chosen map out of order or different map...
