Vanilla maps that don't get playtime

Here's a point brought up by asch in the Euro Forces support thread that I think is deserving of it's own thread:

http://www.tacticalgamer.com/455407-post67.html

Quote:
We don't play all the maps there are now. People complain about this map or that map so the server is switched and we play the five same damn maps over and over.

Would anyone else agree that the words ring pretty true?
I know we've beaten some of the favorite/least favorite maps topics to death since the release of the game but is it worth bringing this up?

I really don't have a problem with ANY of the maps so long as I'm getting good teamwork on the server. Tons of folks have voiced that they hate Kubra Dam. I've had some incredibly memorable moments and rounds on Kubra.

Does anyone else agree that we should give some of the standard maps more playtime? If not, are there changes to these maps that might make you give them another chance? I really miss some of the epic battles we used to have on Kubra, Dragon Valley, etc. Thoughts?

Re: Vanilla maps that don't get playtime

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the vanilla maps changed. There really aren't too many maps that I hate and I seem to enjoy them all so its kind of a moot point for me because I have no real preference.

Re: Vanilla maps that don't get playtime

mod in a UCB for mec team on 64 for kubra. I think oman and clean sweep are terrible design maps. Urban maps are the bomb!

Omans my favourite, their can be great firefights on the beach in between the bases, the bomber just spoils it a bit--but not too much.

Re: Vanilla maps that don't get playtime

I'd like to see some maps make their way back into the rotation. The problem is that we either need our pilots to show a little restraint or just take air power out of some maps altogether. Some maps are basically unplayable with the amount of air. Daqing Oilfields is probably the worst, but Kubra and Cleansweep aren't far off. Our pilots have a nasty habit of ignoring each other and just bombing the living crap out of everyone to rack up their kill count. A little balance is needed before these maps become fun again.

Re: Vanilla maps that don't get playtime

^ That's how I feel, I don't even like walking, sprinting, driving a tank or any sort of vehicle on oman or any map that is overpowered by air, it just seems the win/loss is controlled by whoever is better in the air and can bomb more until all the tickets are gone. Then it leaves me feeling angry sometimes and then I feel like I just got pubbed.

Re: Vanilla maps that don't get playtime

I have to agree with Bommando. (He makes a good point again, damn the luck ). Some of those maps are just not ground pounder friendly. If we mod them and take out some of the air assets they would be good to go back into the rotation.

Re: Vanilla maps that don't get playtime

I always vote against a map change. I'm with Fault in that as long as I have good teamplay, I don't mind any map. But then I really enjoy Songhua while everyone else seems to hate it.

Agree completely. I dont mind playing any map. It would be nice to get the maps back into rotation and freshen things up. While i understand that the pilots need to get their kicks i dont have any fun on maps like daqing and oman. I get locked into a spawn, be bombed, spawn cycle which is no fun. Recently i have just been getting into whatever AA assets are available, knowing it will be certain death but just wanting to do anything to allow some respite and allow the squad to get some vehicles moving. Im no stat whore but a 25:1 death/kill ratio is never pretty or fun.

But i digress. Id like to see the map rotation freshened up. Preferably with some changes to balance but even without it would be nice to see them again.

Re: Vanilla maps that don't get playtime

Ok, so the rotation for tonight will be Kubra, Clean Sweep, and Wake. And it'll be a full house, right?

Re: Vanilla maps that don't get playtime

I'm with them-- add em all back in. If there's some problems then mod them to reduce the problem.
