Worst Map Ever

[R-a-z-o-r]

CRU are FuN fraggers, it's fun to toss a nade or 2  where they are hiding.

I have no doubt, and  have no problem playing against them, but I am so tired of koth maps, big space gun and wtf!
I am especially tired of that map ( I don't know the name) that has the two blue laser beams protecting the quad before the teleport!

hey, if that's your map, I apologize, it's not a bad map.
but way too often its been requested and in this rotation that is supposed to be "vanilla" it has became far too often, when I happen to show up, "cru"

every one is entitled to their own opinion so I'm just spouting mine

Dukie, as a CRU member (but not a camper), I think it's only fair to point out that I don't believe WTF! (or whatever it's called) is a "cru map"; I don't know of any members who regularly request it, at least when I've been around in the daytime. As for your other comments, I'll take them up at the next annual meeting--it's in Acapulco this year!

Worst maps:

hub, sewer64, or any other huge maps that were designed for a gazillion players in which it might take me three minutes to even see another player. To me, if you're into that, you should just play single-player.

wtf! (or is it wtf2?)

slideways

train

any map that empties out the server; there are several, but I can't think of their names at the moment

  sewer64 is one of those maps, that if I see on the server browser that it happens to be playing on vanilla at the moment, i put down whatever I'm doing and join the server immediately.  Because it is awesome.

Every stupid thing I do, Jagermonsta tells me to   --  meaning i fully agree

He gets you so drunk!

a fine vanilla addition that most participate in like strike or city1. 

nothing beats city1

I don't know if it's in the CRU map pack, but it always seems to come up right before or right after wulfhere

Nah, that's not my map

If you like this game for its movement speed then claustrophobic maps like city2 and city3 are a true nightmare. You either bump into walls or get snagged on architecture if you try to make some speed and that just gives me the creeps.
There will of course always be maps you don't like but I think the main problem is that there are people who deem it necessary to mymap their favorite maps each and every time they're playing. Regardless of the number of players, they mymap 'their' maps, because they can. The soon as they enter the game they immediately take control over the map rotation and the rest of the players have to sit through their map choices. And by 'they' I mean those who like to pick map after map after map until all their favs have been played. Because of this it may look like those maps are popular, but if we would be using a mapvote system those maps wouldn't nearly be played as much.
Basicly that's the strenght of the mymap system but at the same time it's the problem. I have absolutely no problem with playing one or two "unusual" maps and might even have some fun but if I have to sit through five of them successively thanks to some nutcase then I lose my sense of humor and interest.

Yes, I agree with this assessment...

One ability we do have now, is to specify the delay between how often a given map can be played, on a per-map basis.

So certain maps, like slideways, bigspacegunup, koth6, etc. have already been tuned to a 12 hour interval, instead of the standard three-hour interval...  (That's been in effect for a few weeks now...)

But yeah, when I mymap something, I try to consider the number of players on the server, and pick a map that hopefully others will find fun.  (Thus, I almost never--maybe never??--mymap sewer64, even though it's one of my favorite maps. )

But I often see the behavior you describe, where someone mymaps a string of their favorite maps without apparent regard for whether anyone else is having fun...

One thing I've considered that might possibly be worth trying, is to have a limit on how rapidly a given player can make use of mymap.  Like, if your map was just played, and you immediately try to mymap another one, maybe it gets inserted into playlist a few slots down, giving a few stock maps to play in the interim...

(Of course, there's also the TODO for some logic to disallow some huge maps from being played when there are too few players on the server...)

would that logic include a database full of acceptable minimum player counts sorta like the OSP maplist?
