Map Voting

[TonyB]

Ok guys, follow-up. Map voting has been on for a bit and I'm curious as to feedback on that.

At times it is annoying. At times it works. Ie., was playing Hastings. Red took blue main and there were like 6 guys on each team. I was in the game shortly as blue when main lost. I started map vote for Hastings. It was approved and map started over. Everybody happy except main-takers.

Map voting allows the majority to decide. Maybe map gets changed. Maybe not.

How do you feel about it so far?

Generally I am also for map voting. Although I miss some maps like Saigon68 since people mostly vote for Hastings, Flaming Dart etc that are on top of the map rotation so we never get through the whole list.

To reduce the annoying flood of map votes during a game I suggest to increase the delay time until a new vote can take place.

I don't think that is something they can fix unless it would involve some sort of mod to the game. But I agree with your comments.

Well I have voted to remove it and go back to the way it was after being constantly bombarded with bad maps to vote for this morning.

Come on now Max you get 3 types of map voters
1 the knobends that just set it off to piss people off
2 the lower players that are doing badly and just want another map don't mind what one they will just set it off again after a few seconds
3 the better players me included who don't like it but will go with the largest vote either way ILL still WIN lol
I am with Pinky all the way
he still must die

Personally, I like it because it gives the non-admin players a voice in the game and it has the potential to circumvent long and boring maps when there are only a few players on. I haven't personally had any issues with map vote spam; if anything, quite the contrary as whenever I proposed a vote, not enough players bothered to vote for any results to go through.

Vmax, my opinion about map voting remains the same. I think it is needed. I believe that over time, the noobs that would abuse it will stop.

The one thing I have observed is that if a team takes a main, when few players are on, map-vote allows a change or restart of the map to fix this. I know it seems troubling but as soon as I see a map vote come up, if I like the map name, I hit 7. If I don't, I hit 8. It's fast and easy.

V is a noob and I continue to pwn him/her.

I think it should stay. As skater says, there are growing pains. Soon it will be second nature and we wont even notice it!

Hi guys

It isn't the spam that is a problem for me its the fact that maps that I like don't get played and maps I don't like get the vote. I know its a majority rules kind of thing but I went and played a different game after voting here.

Love

Vmax, we had 30 guys playing yesterday. I'm not saying that the map voting helped with the numbers but we had plenty of guys playing.

There were a few map votes here and there and there were complaints but I think every single map vote failed that I saw.

Pie, you know old pink has a lot of respect for you and Vmax and V and all the other players who are much older than old pink but I think the map vote gig will work over time. Yes, a few turds are tormenting us but I am hoping it will wear off over time.

Hang in there. It takes all of one second to hit "8".
