    Suggestion: Change Initial Map Loaded by Conquest Server

    When the Conquest server is populated and resets itself, players seem to rejoin the server quickly and a new round is started without much delay. However, I have noticed that the disorientation caused by the reset tends to lead to a lot of confusion; as players rejoin at different times and need to adjust to the new map, create squads, and elect a Commander. If one team gets a jump on the other and captures a significant control point or is able to lay down a solid plan of defense, this initial round can be brutally lopsided.

    While quickly seizing a control point on some maps may not completely alter the round, doing so on those that favor one side more than the other can prove to be a significant advantage. This is particularly true on the Camp Gibraltar map, which seems to be the initial map loaded by the server. As someone that tends to load round information slower than most, I often rejoin the server only to learn that my team has lost both the Harbor and Toll Station without even having a Commander or more than one squad. Though any round after a reset is likely to be somewhat chaotic, I believe starting with Camp Gibraltar increases the chances of the round becoming unbalanced before both teams have an opportunity to form its squads and develop an initial strategy.

    I suggest the Conquest server’s map rotation be changed so that a more balanced map is initially loaded after a reset.

    I think a big open spaced map can help with this issue. Something like Verdum for example

    Except, with the proliferation of vehicles on Verdun, an early advantage could likely be greatly abused there. I'd say it makes sense to have a primarily infantry map, but that it shoudl be a more spread out one, than the compact Gibralter...Perhaps Belgrade or Cerbere Landing?

    Belgrade is not a bad idea. This is one of my favorite maps because of its openess. You are able to attack a flag from any direction.
