really, dont run a 64man map on a 32man server. All you get is lots of ppl running arround taking points that aint being defended. and also there is even more armor arround for much fewer players to use. So if every 1 jumps in a APC and tank then u have hardly any 1 running round on foot.
I know the reason why you have done it is cos you find you get very high points from going onto a server with this. I know i scored 300points in a round today on your server when it was running a 64man map of karkand. The point is if you want the points you might as well go statpadding in the corner of this map.
I much rather to go and assult a point that is being defend as it has some sort of a challange to acturly take the point. Not to walk in, find no 1 is there which you allready know cos you have done a scan with the commander mode. Then take the flag and move onto the next. Knowing that most of the other troops are waiting at the other side of the map and now are running to take back the point you have just taken. All you get from this is lots more points for taking flags. and your troops have no chance of defending each point effectivly.
Take off the god dam 64man maps and run 32maps as 32man maps where ment for 32 players.
Next of all put more than karkand and wake on the maplist. Yes we all like abit of karkand and wake now and again. But if you make it 24/7 ppl are goign to get board very quickly and move to anouther server and not bother to book mark it.
By the ned of the |-TC-| server before it went we did have alot of ppl acturly book marking our server. Not becasue it had a 24/7 map list or any thing special but it was because we had admins on there 90% of the time watching for smaktards and instanly banning them. That is what players want to see!
put most if not all the maps back into your map list, and play them. Each map is a diffrent challange and that is the whole point of them. It gets very very boaring to play the same god dam maps over and over.
there is allready enouth 24/7 karkand servers out there which are just boaring as hell, dont be 1 of them plz ;)

I played a few rounds of 64 man karkand, and it was great fun!
Just play in a squad and play together and you will have fun

I agree, the games are lasting a little long, and we need a little sharqi, clean sweap, and some Daqing oilfeilds wouldn't hurt either. And when are we getting a SF server?

Really, though, we could use more maps than Karkand and wake.
And has anyone noticed that the rounds seem shorter since the patch?

I don't like 64player karkand, it just makes 4 rounds of karkand, and 2 of them are just being killed by an APC 3/4 of the time. I'm fine with Karkand and Wake, they are my 2 most favorite maps but just make it 32player Karkand and Wake Island.

I think you're the only one getting killed by an APC Decoy.

That's what happens when you play as a sniper but charge an APC :)

I actually do that if I get cornered by armor using a kit that can't take it out. Hopefully they don't realize right away what kit I'm using and assume I'm spec ops since I'm charging them. Often times this leads to them jumping out to avoid dieing, allowing me to jump in. :whip:

I think you should make sharqi pen and gulf of oman a 64 man map but leave the others at 32. And get rid of wake on the rotation.

Yes, and add Daqing Oilfields. That is definitely the best map.

Well as you all can see since we have made the server rotation the way it is for now it has been populated much more. This was our intent at getting our community more out there. Now as time progresses I'm sure we will be having member votes on what maps they want to have in the rotation.

Maybe its just unlucky timing or I smell LOL, but whenever I'm on the server when wake comes on it empties ;)
It may be because peeps who like kark maybe arent the same peeps who like wake, such different styles of map..

I am one of those peoples.. Wake is not one of my favorites.. I find myself screwing around in there alot until Kark starts back up.
We'll be changing things up though. This is always up for discussion.

Im sorry but the main reason why it has been popular is becasue my TC guys and afew of the DPK guys are the 1s who start up this server. If you want i can just go and find anouther wempty ranked server and start that 1 up. All i have to do is give the word to the 7 or 8 guys who are online about what server we are going to join and as soon as we are all in, we only need a few pubbies and hay presto we have a server running.
If you want i will get my guys to go onto a random server untill you fix the map list then just see how easy it is to start up?
the 64man maps are not for 32man servers. Put 32man maps on 32man server. If you like put a 16 man map cos then you can have abit of "trench warfare" where skill and teamwork really come into grips as there are so manny ppl about, every 1 is just lineing up and shooting. Or you can have the opsite end of the scale have a 64man map and just walk into point that are empty.

This, as it was decided in a moderator meeting, was going to be a trial thing for a week or so to see how things would change. We wanted to get more feedback on the map rotation besides the few who have posted. The server always needs people in it to start it up, but based off the usage it has been consistently more populated over a duration than prior to the decision of this map rotation. Map rotation selection is obviously a trial and error process that is gone through until a happy medium is reached. This is the stage we are still in.

you know what Wip..we all played Oman to death (demo)... then.. not for a long time.. I played it a bit a week or so ago and really enjoyed it. Oman is a really good map.
It's in my requested line up for next week.
