map duration

Post by kona »

Hey everyone:

Since I prefer the infantry maps, it's a bummer for me to sit thru 60 minutes of Gazala and then only get about 20 minutes of Lost Village before the tickets run out. What would folks think about setting the tickets to maximum and putting a time limit (perhaps 45 mins.) on each map? That way every map would run for the same length of time. It is really common for vehicle maps (Bocage Day2, Guadal) to run for 60 minutes whereas Bridge and Lost Village often end after 20-30 minutes or less.

Thoughts?

I like/love LV and I agree that 20 mins is not long enough. I saw that you posted this a while ago:

High ticket count and 45 min time limit would be great! As a bonus, it would be sweet to have LV CTF be 10 flags vs. the usual 5...IMO

I think he means 10 flag captures vs the 5 flag captures the server is set to via the remote console.

You right, you right.

I think we'd have to make them all 10 but I don't care about that if it's a popular option.

I am not sure how others feel but I like a good long CTF map :)

Again, infantry maps are almost always over in 20 minutes. What about setting tickets to 2000 and setting a map time limit (say 40 mins)??? Bridge seems to have a slow bleed, but all of the others (Basrah, Lost Village, Urban Siege, Sea RIgs) are usually over in less than 30 mins.


Just sayin'...

I agree that it does go by fast but I have not got around to working on decreasing the bleed time.

Just set the tickets to maximum and put a time limit for each map - 40 mins., perhaps. That way each map should get equal time.
