Hi All,

My suggestion would be the following maps:

dc_battle_of_73_easting
iwo_jima
dc_oil_fields
midway
kursk ( ctf is very nice)
dc_dustbowl

You guys could do some tests to see which would be most cool

Thanks

I think what made this game so popular for so long is the mixed maps. I understand why the current rotation is the way is...but I would like to see more variation.

Guadalcanal, Battle of the Buldge, and Kharkov (DCFinal Day2) can all "work" with a smaller server pop. Even Iwo Jima (the version with one carrier and mobile battleship) can work. I would also like to see reg El al every now and again.

Not sure if anyone suggested it but what about adding Liberation of Caen to the rotation?

^^ must agree, Liberation of Caen would be awesome. One of the few classic BF1942 maps that's even better with DC.

What happened to the recent set of maps? With 68 some odd maps, it seems like it crashes, resets and only a few of the same maps run through (dustbowl, medina, etc).

Translation...cheese wants Al Nas CTF back at the top of the rotation. Preferably 1st. So you should make it so.

All your map are belong to cheese

Not a bad idea though.

Back to the topic, the crash/resets.

Why is the map rotation so damn huge?! Used to, we could play our favorite maps (Al Nas, Docks, LV, Nights) every hour or so. With this new 1,000 map rotation we won't get to play those maps but every, like, 7 hours. I don't like it, sorry.

some of you guys are never happy lol......you are talking about a game thats well over 10 years old, so it is going to tough, trying to keep people playing it with old ass maps.......why not create a time window, say between the hours of 6-8 pm (what ever time zone that is for yas all ) and vote on which of the favorite maps should be played ?!

just a thought.....

i do like having more than less maps, maybe less than there is currently but if you always play al nas you will get burned out on it..trust me.. besides this huge map rotation in my opinion has created a lot of interest in other maps like dust bowl ctf and bocage ctf that i have glossed over in the past but are really great maps that fill the server more than al nas...if everyone agrees still your favorite admins can always change it up a little...hell i still mix it up according to the current players and enough request...but please its a consensus not a dictatorship...most still have to agree..and demonic is right....you guys are never happy ;-)

BTW i know you look down on us now demonic...but being graced by your presences once in a while would still be nice....wear something sexy :35:

lol Rye.....i was butt naked when i dropped in recently....oh wait...you said wear something sexy..ma bad >: D
And no.....i do not look down on anyone (well maybe them CP clowns) but honestly, i just enjoy BF4 and a few others games and havent thought twice about playing DC again.
IF i did drop in, it would be say say hi to those that matter :D

and i agree...more maps are better....otherwise the same few become like a recycled hooker...it was fun at first, but then umm...... i better stop <: D

Rye, I do get tired of Al Nas, surprisingly lol. I just think the new rotation is kinda big. I love playing the rare maps like First Light, Oil Fields, Coastal Hammer, etc, because we never play those and it gets interesting. I really enjoy Dustbowl because I can be lazy and use the SCUD the whole time, lmao.

Just so you guys know, Trench has been spear heading the map rotation and his intent was to get a better feel of all maps while the winter and holiday season is here, then when the number of players start to dwindle when the weather gets better which is normal, so will the maps based on popularity so the rotation will dwindle...no worries...

okay - basrahs edge CTF is way to favored to RED. Maybe give blue 1 chopper and even it up. 4-0 tonight, pretty much a slaughter.
