    You make the rotation

    Yes, you read the subject correctly, it's time for you to come up with our next map rotation. Why? Because we're interested in seeing what you can come up with. You are free to choose from all maps and modes except for Northern Strike. Failure to follow the short list of rules will cause us to ignore your rotation. We will post a complete list of maps and modes that are available in shortly.

    *Updated*

    Rules:
    1. Not everyone has Northern Strike, don't include it a regular rotation.
    2. 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.
    3. Infantry Only rotations will be ignored.
    4. Armor Only rotations will be ignored.
    5. 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!

    Re: You make the rotation

    I decree that there should be more titan! But my rotation will have conquest as well.

    Wake Island, gpm_ca, 32
    Cerbere Landing, gpm_cq, 32
    Minsk, gpm_ti, 32
    Fall of Berlin, gpm_cq, 64
    Camp Gibarlter, gpm_cq, 64
    Verdun, gpm_ti, 32
    Operation Shingle, gpm_cq, 64
    Suez Canal, gpm_ti, 32
    Highway Tampa, gpm_sl, 64

    I prefer more tickets because that give you more time to make a come-back. I wonder how this rotation works out.

    Tunis Harbor, gpm_cq, 16
    Camp G, gpm_cq, 32
    Suez Canal, gpm_cq, 32
    Cerbere Landing, gpm_cq, 32
    Tunis Harbor, gpm_cq, 32
    Wake Island, gpm_ca, 32
    Fall of Berlin, gpm_cq, 64
    Belgrade, gpm_cq, 64
    Operation Shingle, gpm_cq, 32
    Minsk, gpm_ti, 48
    Verdun, gpm_nv, 32
    Cerebere Landing, gpm_cq, 32
    Highway Tampa, gpm_ti, 48
    Sidi Power Plant, gpm_nv, 16
    Shuhia Taibia, gpm_cq, 64

    Pretty balanced amount of armor and infantry maps, stuck with the classic 2 infantry and 1 vehicle map for the most part, and didn't induce two bleed maps on the same team twice in a row. Provided the server doesn't crash very early on, it shouldn't feel like the same maps are being played over and over again (and likely crash maps are clustered somewhat later in the lineup).

    I tried to alternate nice conquest with my favorite mode, TITAN! Also, assault lines, and conquest assault. What do you think?

    As much as I enjoy a round of Wake Island (forces teamwork from both teams), it is not a great seed map after a crash. Also, you've put one team under threat of cap-out two rounds in a row. Lastly, you have three vehicle maps in a row (Suez Canal, Highway Tampa, and Wake), not critical but it could cause drop offs.

    Agreed, pretty balanced. I think it's interesting that you went to the 32 player versions of Camp Gibraltar, Cerbere Landing, and Tunis Harbor. The map will be the same, but make for shorter rounds. That might actually be an interesting thing to try...

    Re: You make the rotation

    I've never made a rotation before but here is my suggestion:

    Operation Shingle, gpm_cq, 32
    Sidi Power Plant, gpm_nv, 16
    Highway Tampa, gpm_sl, 64
    Verdun, gpm_nv, 16
    Camp Gibralter, gpm_cq, 16
    Minsk, gpm_ti, 48
    Fall of Berlin, gpm_cq, 32
    Verdun, gpm_cq, 64
    Wake Island 2142, gpm_ca, 32
    Shuhia Taiba, gpm_cq, 16
    Tunis Harbour, gpm_cq, 32
    Suez Canal, gpm_ti 32
    Shuhia Taibia, gpm_cq, 64
    Cerbere Landing, gpm_cq, 16
    Verdun, gpm_ti, 32

    I don't know how often the server crashes, but i feel we don't make it through the rotation that often. Maybe we should try one of these rotations say every 2 weeks or something to keep it fresh? Just a suggestion.

    Leading off the rotation with 16p Gibraltar? Masochist. I can tell you that ain't gonna happen... Two rounds of titan back to back is a bit much as well.

    Did that so that the average player won't get bored with the stalemates that often occur, and will let people play more maps in a shorter amount of time. I know that I personally barely get to see more than 3 maps a night, and sometimes only 2 because of a crash.

    I'm just sick of tiny tunis, maybe tiny verdun? Also, I don't know why back to back titan is any different than back to back vehicle maps.

    Re: You make the rotation

    Also, I'm not sure what player counts certain maps have... I thought 16, 32, and 64 were the only sizes.... so we play 48 for city maps?

    Verdun, gpm_nv, 16
    Tunis Harbor, gpm_cq, 64
    Shuhia Taiba, gpm_cq, 64
    Highway Tampa, gpm_cq, 64
    Belgrade, gpm_cq, 64
    Cerbere Landing, gpm_cq, 64
    Fall of Berlin, gpm_cq, 64
    Minsk, gpm_ti, 48
    Verdun, gpm_ti, 48
    Camp Gibraltar, gpm_cq, 64
    Sidi Power Plant, gpm_cq, 64
    Operation Shingle, gpm_cq, 64
    Wake Island 2142, gpm_ca, 64

    Re: You make the rotation

    All titan maps are hard coded to 48, all others have a choice of 16, 32, or 64.

    Some maps, excluding titan maps, have different version for all three sizes, verdun for instance, others only have two sizes (16 or 32). If a map only has 16 or 32 player version,setting the server to 64 merely increases the ticket count of the 32 player version.
