The point you miss SK is that ground players can play all maps. Take HellsFury. He's a ground guy. 100%. Even on Flaming Dart he has to get to the mainland to fight. By boat, swim or air until there is a flag. He can play every single map. I would like to know what he thinks of the maps. Since he is a ground only player, no matter what map he plays, there are limited ground players.Guys who like air 24/7 leave or go AFK for ground only maps. Ground players play the game regardless of what map is up. I am one of those. I dread the jungle maps because the numbers dwindle
But how many ground players enjoy being the easy kills for helicopters and planes? Sure, we can play all the maps, but it doesn't mean they're all enjoyable just like ground only maps. If it's an air map anyone on the ground is at a distinct disadvantage, so I don't believe it's the same as a map with none of them.

How about enabling map vote with 6 players or less? I dont even know if thats possible but would help when the numbers are low.

Unfortunately it can't be automated, although that would have helped. If we allowed map changing, it would have to be done by admins in accordance with some guidelines we set up.

Good example. I was just playing Game Warden. We had a good 20 guys playing, if not more. My game crashed so I went to work making my HellsFurryChili. When I came back to the computer, the map had gone to Albany. There were 9 players playing. One had 0 score so figure AFK.
I like Albany. It is the first map I ever played. But, we lose players and it sucks. The game is fun when there are 20 plus players on. When we go to but a few it is so boring that even I leave.
Thanks for anything you guys can do to abate this issue.
There's a lot more that goes into play though. Time of day, location of players, personal lives etc. I played Khe Sahn for the most part with 6 people, but that doesn't mean it's disliked. The bleed rates and ticket changes have made a huge difference to the maps they are on. I've added announcements to let people know and we'll see how this goes for now as, like all changes, it'll take some time to settle in.

Maybe a new map order would help, like alternating a popular map with a not so popular one (Hastings, Fall of Saigon, Flaming, etc)
The map order is somewhat like this already, is it not? Maybe it messes up at the end where we go La drang, Fall of Saigon, Khe Sahn as they are all wide open maps. If you guys want to suggest new orders we can take a look, the maps and current order are as follows:
Code:
operation_hastings
hue
operation_flaming_dart
ho_chi_minh_trail
operation_cedar_falls
quang_tri_alt
operation_game_warden
landing_zone_albany
operation_irving
quang_tri
lang_vei
ho_chi_minh_trail_alt
defense_of_con_thien
hue_alt
ia_drang
fall_of_saigon
khe_sahn

I CAN GET U MORE PLAYERS. SK. ILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO. sorry capitals. The only problem they all speak spanish and may have pirate version of the bfv. So theres a problem there. I mean about cd keys.
Do you play the game?
Under what name?
The language they speak doesn't matter, we have Spanish speaking players anyway. If you need a hand with anything just let me know.

IVE ALREADY DONE IT. PLAYERS POPULATION IS DECREASING. NOT ONLY BECAUSE SOME MAPS ARE BORRING BUT ALSO BECAUSE I DETECTED LOT OF CHEATERS. I VOTE FOR THE "HAMBURGER HILL MAP" TO BE INCLUDED. NEW MAPS R BETTER. IM A LOSER TO BOOT. XD party01
Size 200?! Did you make your font big enough? xD
If you find cheaters then you should record evidence and report them
here
Maps like Hamburger hill require everyone to download them, and that would drop player numbers even more.
