The id maps q2dm 1 - 8 were made for less than 16 players.  Many times there are at least 9 or 10 if not more on the DM server.  Once you get over 8 players on these maps, it just becomes mostly a big mess.  Lots of spamming kills and lots of teleport kills and liitle to no strategy.   

Can we have one of the other DM servers rotate q2dm 1 - 8 and limit it to 8 players max?  Call it DM 8 Max  or something  like that.

Based on the demand on the one server, it seems like this would be a good idea. 

While some people think its great fun with lots of players, very few maps work well with that  and the id maps in particular do not.  16 players is simply not ideal.

players gravitate to already well established / populated servers and seldom attempt to start games elsewhere.

Words like that should come from the bible.

You think 16 players is bad?  Try 32 like it was put up to recently for a mere couple of days lol.  Talk about teleport kills and spam.  You can't even fuckin' move when it's like that.

Yes, I agree that that would be cool however it does not rotate just those two maps it rotates through all the maps like dm does?

RyU, welcome to the forums. I've played you a few times on the ffa server and I must say youre quite good. You usually take first place. Anywho, you should try some ra2 some time. We play tues and sat nights. As for ffa, I'd like to see q2dm8 "the server" get played some. That's a great map.
