The server collectively sighs when it goes to ANYTHING Arnhem. If it doesn't kill the server, people are merely hanging on because they're waiting for the next map.

And then Arnhem is the last map of the evening each night.

I do think some TDM's are needed. Be a nice little change.

I think there are already 3 TDM maps in, if I'm not mistaken it's TDM carentan, TDM harbor and TDM dawnville.

how about we replace ctf sicily with ctf kharkov or italy.....just a thaught

The Neuville HQ map brought us a very nice fight on the RICS the other day. I guess this one is not in the rotation, maybe that can be put in?
Just hoping for more nice matches like the one of yesterday

I still think more TDM gametypes would be a good way to balance the server out. TDM Dawnville, TDM Hurtgen, and maybe HQ bocage.

BEL Bocage was really fun from RICS. Maybe look into that?

I guess with over a hundred members, we will have over a hundred opinions on which maps we would prefer in the rotation.
The rotation is set up in such a way that the server will be populated, and we heard earlier that big maps can't enter the rotation.

Large maps kill the server, period.

TDMs are frowned upon and Hurtgen and Bocage recently left our server empty.

So I guess the rotation is maximized with respect to getting the server populated, and there's only a slim chance that it will change drastically.
Now the thing I was wondering, could an admin change the map to a requested map when there's a large amount of players on (lets say around 15-20) without the consequence of the rotation being screwed up?
If this is technically not a problem and the rotation will proceed after that, would it be an idea that the players can request 1 or 2 maps every day on crowded hours? This way things might get more attractive to guys like Helium who like to see the big maps.

Doubt it. if i messes up the Rotation then forget it. i don't know first hand that it messes it up but i have heard it does so if we try that with a full server and the server crashes/freezes we just lost all of the population. rather not take the chance. and if we test it even when there's a few ppl on still it could differ when there r more ppl

But how does it work with RICSes then? It doesn't crash at those changes right?

Maybe I can put a request for another map in the rotation? We played it yesterday during a break in the RICS. It was called tigertown. I never played it before, but to me it seemed like a nice map, which is no too big, and would add to the variety in our current rotation. Any gametype would be suited for this one I guess.
