This is the suggested list I sent thegreatnardini on Feb 29, 2008. Though with some new maps since then with 0.756 I may change a few of these. Edit notes are within the list.

Last night for about 6 hours after the password portion of the evening was over the number of players on the server fluctuated from 6 to 14. It wasn't till almost 5:30am CST that the server began to really fill up. It was full at 6am. For those of us that stuck around to help keep it populated the series of 6 maps we played were labored to say the least. Hence my suggestion on map list.

The Jump Start List:
01. EJOD 16 (A good map to start off with due to low population)

Edit: I would suggest now Qwai 16 with EJOD 16 being second.

02. Kashan 32 (If the server isn't quite full by then Kashan usually brings them in)
03. Assault on Mestia 64 (Proven to be a decent map even if only half on population)
04. Operation Ghost Train 64 (Gives us a change of scenery)
05. Qwai River 64 (Great map and only excellent with at least 40 players)
06. Fools Road 64 (Always a good fight on both sides but better with more players)

A good top 6 list when it comes to server starts I feel. Great grouping of population charging maps.

The MEC Campaign
07. Kashan 16 or Gulf of Oman 16 (Just shoot em up and get ready for some long maps)

Edit: Kashan 16 with the new 64 player map but with no Tanks or Planes.

08. Zatar Wetlands 64 (Pretty good transition between valley to desert)
09. Jabal Al-Burj 64 (Again in the wetter middle eastern setting.
10. Al Kufrah Oilfield (Another tankers dream map getting ready for next big map)
11. Kashan 64 (Great map and deserves to be played twice this time with planes)

The MEC theater comes to a close and the next chapter starts.

The PLA Compaign
12. Sunset City 16 or Daqin Oilfields 16 (After a long map like Kashan it's nice to just slug it out as a break)
13. Road to Kyongan'Ni 64 (It's a nice straight forward map with simple strategy)
14. 7 Gates 64 (A complicated map and difficult though same feel as Kyongan'Ni)
15. Daqing Oilfields 64 (A very good map for smart mobile strategy)

Edit: May replace this choice with Bi Ming daylight now that it's daylight.

16. Sunset City 64 (One of the most intense fire fight actions for the PLA/USMC)

The PLA theater comes to a close and then optionally we can throw in the wild card maps.

----------------------
WildCards:
These are the maps that should come at the end of the rotation. As they don't really fit in well with the feel of the other maps IMO. They are also optional because while they may be enjoyed by a few I just don't hear many good things about them.

Battle for Quiling 32 (This map has serious issues with lag and so flying is barley possible. with it's wide open spaces it takes good coordination and motivation to get through this map. Most don't make it and population at odd hours tends to go down.)

Hills of Hamgyong 16/64 (This map is a slug fest and is extremely one sided to the PLA if both teams are equally matched. Would it be possible to try out the 16 player AAS version of this map? What does it look like?

Al Basrah 64 (This is simply not a very good map to play. Either it's been unlucky in that everyone has to leave before this map or it's really that bad and everyone leaves "because" of this map.)

Bi Ming 64 (Such a great map geographically and yet so horrible because of the night sights. I believe this map would be much more enjoyable and popular if it were in the day. Next map pack they release will have this map during the day say the Devs.)
----------------------

Last: Ejod Desert 64 (With the Tank/APC action and the heavy battle in the center this map tends to be a pretty good anchor map at the end of the rotation. Not the favorite by many as the 16 player version of this map demonstrates the heavy infantry fighting rather well. Too bad there isn't a 32 player version. From this map the start of the rotation fits right in show casing the most enjoyable portion of this map. The city fighting.)

Without Wildcards you get 17 total maps in the rotation with a smattering of 16 player maps (3), a 32 player map in the jump start section and the rest 64. You have Kashan done twice and EJOD done twice as well as Sunset City twice. Or you can substitute Gulf of Oman 16 instead of Kashan 16 and Daqing 16 instead of Sunset 16.

I think people will appreciate the theater feel in the 2nd and 3rd block. The first block you really can't do that because you want the server to be filled up quickly upon restart. Those maps will bring them in from what I have seen.

Ok so that's my opinion on the maplist. You told us if we had any suggests to send them to you. So here it is.

Cheers.
