Hi,
First of all I would like to admit that I had not enough watched in details at the new map order before voting. It's my fault I don't have to complain ...
Anyway my vote would not have changed the final result. In what (the little) I had read I especially appreciated the fact that the order of the maps does not start again from zero when the server is empty, it is a good thing because it allows to not always play the same maps at rush hour. But when I realized that there were at least 8 infantry maps in a row I quickly became disillusioned... I'm waiting Hasting in the middle of the map order for 8 years to play it in rush hour but it seems it is not going to happen
I always played this game because it offered the possibility of changing of gameplay style from one map to another, now this is gone.
I fully understand your point of view Rus. In principle, you are absolutely right.
Maybe calling a vote and freezing it permanently on a game that only survives thanks to a small community of players like ours is not the best solution.
In the end this voting thing does not care, it is not a presidential election. Let's have fun and keep an open door for surprises.
I remain convinced that as an administrator you can load the map you want, modify the order when you want and even modify the maps in custom combat when you want by changing the vehicles as you had suggested in games or in the forum (Full hueys Slicks on fall of saigon for example ect ...). It was a great idea.
Many old servers did it and I loved going there. Don't ask permission, just do it! I doubt our community will quit the server because on weekends an administrator wants to put some fun and funk music in this mess!
I think on the contrary that we will come back more often.
New maps order will not increase the game population. This is impossible. The game is no longer sold, difficult to obtain other than through a No-Cd version without forgetting issues on Windows 10 and the manual installation 1.21 patch requested to play... The game population will not explode if Dice does not make a remastered version of it and that may never happens. We have to be realistic.
We will remain the same loyal Battlefield Vietnam gaming community until then. The only way to get players come back for a while is to continue playing and make actives players get a lot of fun.
