Can you guys that do not want Kursk or Eastings please explain why. IMO they do well with small and large numbers. If you do not like tanks I can see why you do not like Eastings but again, some do, so keeping their opinion on the same level as everyone else. A tank map or two is in the rotation
As for the CTF 5 flag limit. I have been on when it does go by real fast like you said Cow, but I am sure you will agree that the reasoning is not necessarily because the cap limit is set to 5. It is because one team is just flat out getting their tail whooped. Normally the side I am on
So lets say it takes 10 minutes to cap the flag 5 times, the only thing we are going to do by upping the limit 10 is prolong my beating. (I know sounds fun for yall LOLOL) In all sincerity I do not have an issue with increasing the cap limit. 5 was selected because when it was at 10 it took the whole hour and people were getting pissed. If I had a way I would say unlimited caps but limit to 30 minute play time. I do not think you can do that for just one map in the rotation though. I am pretty sure it would effect all maps.
Dem, I think it was more size of the map in conjunction with the amount of people playing more than anything. As you can read, there was a ton of talk about server population. You said it yourself, it's a 10 year old game. We have lost players for all sorts of reasons. Anything from boredom, to new games, even me, and I know some have left due to Sarge
I think BF3 was the biggest hit. Anyways that is why most of the bigger maps, unless they play well with smaller numbers were taken out.
I love the CTF for a few reasons. First and foremost it requires teamwork. Along with that it suits everyone's style of gameplay. The guys that like to sit back and wait with their weapon of choice can guard the flag. Then you have your assault team (the guys that like to run and gun). And then of course there is always a Rambo or two, that do whatever it is they do.
TDM is .. well .. next time I am on and have enough to have a decent match we can run Omaha TDM
