Re: You make the rotation

Expecting the rotation to get hate mails in 2-3 days!

I had thought of putting in a second round of Minsk right after the first, but that is probably a bit too much it, especially if one team is on top of their game and shuts the other down twice in a row.

I'll pass the blame to the author...

**Lorax74** · 07-30-2009, 10:38 AM

Next week we'll give this maps list a try:

Code:

maplist.append verdun gpm_cq 16
maplist.append operation_shingle gpm_cq 32
maplist.append belgrade gpm_cq 32
maplist.append camp_gibraltar gpm_cq 32
maplist.append cerbere_landing gpm_cq 32
maplist.append tunis_harbor gpm_cq 32
maplist.append shuhia_taiba gpm_cq 32
maplist.append fall_of_berlin gpm_cq 32

lol I expect even more hate mails on that one! But 1 week map rotations... might not be bad

We're going to try rotating out rotations on a more frequent basis, hopefully weekly.

**Lorax74** · 07-30-2009, 11:23 AM

Update to the first post:

Rules:

Not everyone has Northern Strike, don't include it a regular rotation.
Include map mode and size for each entry in the rotation. Proper map names and modes to choose from are:
- gpm_cq - Conquest
  
  belgrade
  camp_gibraltar
  cerbere_landing
  fall_of_berlin
  minsk
  operation_shingle
  shuhia_taiba
  sidi_power_plant
  suez_canal
  tunis_harbor
  verdun
- gpm_ti - Titan
  
  highway_tampa
  minsk
  shuhia_taiba
  sidi_power_plant
  suez_canal
  verdun
- gpm_sl - Assault Lines
  
  highway_tampa
  operation_shingle
- gpm_nv - No Vehicles (Infantry Only)
  
  belgrade
  camp_gibraltar
  cerbere_landing
  fall_of_berlin
  minsk
  operation_shingle
  shuhia_taiba
  sidi_power_plant
  suez_canal
  tunis_harbor
  verdun
- gpm_ca - Conquest Assault
  
  wake_island
Please list the mode, this will make it easier for us to program it in should we decide to go with your rotation. If you do not list a mode, we will ignore your rotation. The format of each line should be something like this:
belgrade gpm_cq 32
This entry would be 32 player Belgrade, conquest mode.

Please note, everything must be in lowercase, spaces in map names should be replaced by the underscore "_" character, must have mode and size, no commas or other punctuation.
Infantry Only rotations will be ignored.
Armor Only rotations will be ignored.
Titan Only rotations will be ignored.

Again, failure to follow these rules will result in us ignoring your rotation. We won't comment on it, we won't clue you in, we'll just skip it. What am I really saying here? Don't be lazy, follow the rules! I'm glad I got that off my chest, now let's move on...

Things to consider

There will be one round per map. At the end of the round, teams switch and the next map plays.
Operation Shingle is an EU bleed map
If there is a titan map in the rotation, the server will default to 48 players. That really means 46 players due to the SM kick script.
16 Player maps have 100 tickets
32 Player maps have 200 tickets
64 Player maps have 300 tickets
Some maps only have 16 and 32 player versions however you can still set the size to 64 players, that essentially gives you 300 tickets instead of 200 which equates to a longer time on the map. We do this on Gibraltar, Cerbere Landing, and Fall of Berlin, to name a few.
Putting an even amount of maps in the rotation causes both teams to play the same maps as the same faction when the rotation restarts. That's not always a problem but it can be if your rotation is too short.

That's it for now. Have fun and we hope to see some interesting rotations. Ask any questions you have and as long as you follow the rules we'll assist and provide feedback as we see fit

Enjoy!

I wasn't being sarcastic, it's my favourite map

**Zoraster** · 07-30-2009, 11:43 AM

I'm okay with Minsk in the rotation. I think twice would be overkill, and it'd make me wonder why Cerbere doesn't get played twice. But once is fine.

If the first rotation is just for a week, then I'm cool with it. Just have to make sure that when the admins get tired and stop searching for new rotations that it doesn't get left on one that's too "out of the mainstream" (to quote SCOTUS nomination criticisms).

**FLIPmode** · 07-30-2009, 01:07 PM

Shuhia Taiba is still in that rotation

It's the 16p version.

I was looking at the next week's rotation, not this one...my mistake

are you going with the 32 player version rather than the 64 for the infantry maps?

**Crux** · 07-31-2009, 08:45 AM

Do we have to wait? Until next week?

Awwwww...someone's getting impatient

I have to admit - I does look good.

**Crux** · 07-31-2009, 12:49 PM

Well, last night was fricking terrible. Suez Canal, Cerbere Landing followed immediately by Shuhia. That was the better part of an hour spent on armor maps, which we KNOW the community as a whole likes less... but sadly seems to be strongly favored by one or two admins :P
