Singleplayer Maps Vs Multiplayer Maps

[[BTF]Gator]

If there was the bandwidth for it, i'd love to see a dm1-dm8 server too...(Lose dm7).

They are different from the custom maps, cuz they tend to have better flow, and most people know how to "play" them.  i think it would get TONS of traffic.

Damn!  I mean Damn!
Why don't they have a server that plays only the six single player maps I like and the 2 Dm maps I like!
If I may be allowed to slip into Banes speak for a moment...
I don't like the Guard House, so when it comes on I either leave or I camp like hell with the BFG.  And I do not give a FLYING FUCK if you call me a camper, because that map is only good for that only!  Wade through the shit you don't like and be happy when the maps you like come on, SHEESH!!!
OH NO BLUTO, THEY ARE PLAYING A MAP I FIND BORING!
There are a SHITLOAD of severs playing the DM maps.  Vanilla always has players, they don't.

Damn!  I mean Damn!  This really pisses me of to no end. Damn!

guard house does blow, im gonna be playing on vanilla servers more often im gonna write down all the maps i think everyone can agree on blow, then we should poll those maps to see if we should keep them or take them out

Damn!  I mean Damn! Dammit!

No matter how shitty the maps, there needs to be a server dishing up the shitty shit too!

I've said this in the past, but since this is a new thread, I'll say it again =)  Single player maps are designed in a linear fashion.  Where there is a starting point, and an ending point.  For the purpose of making your way through the map one time, killing the monsters on your way to the exit, etc.  There are many dead ends in SP maps which make travel time in MP games annoying IMO, takes forever to get to where the action is on some maps depending on where you respawn.  So SP maps were not designed with MP in mind. 

Quake 2 originally was a single player game with a storyline, etc., that also had MP, in case some of you have only played multi.  Also, like I said "where the action is", typically there is only one, maybe 2 spots in single player maps that have a high amount of action.  Usually near the more powerful weapons I'd presume, or more open areas.  Whereas in MP maps, there are usually a number of areas that see high action.  Take Q2DM1 for example, designed by ID for MP purposes, notice the circular theme, you're able to get to various areas on the map a number of ways.  It has lots of action in the water near the railgun, outside of the water by rail, in the megahealth room, in the courtyard, etc.

It's pretty simple if you ask me, SP maps weren't designed for MP, that's why they have many negatives.  MP maps were designed for MP, so that's why MP flows best on MP maps.  Fortunately it seems that the tasty/xquake equipment can sustain a SP only server, and a few other servers as well, so I don't see a problem with there being one SP map server, I'll just chose to avoid it =)
