DM players: Do you prefer larger or smaller maps?

[HarryWeezer]

It takes a lot of time to keep our many servers updated with fresh content and we all apprecite the admin who do that job. That said, I'm mostly on COD5 these days except when the small, confined maps come up - the ones where you'd better start shooting the second you spawn because the next second, you're dead. When those come up, I leave and head off to COD4, or 2.

To me, the thrill of COD is the hunt - maps with enough elbow room that you've got time to get your bearings and move a bit before you're shot on the spot. But that's just me. Maybe others enjoy these smaller maps where no skill is necessary. Since we seem to have added a few recently, perhaps most folks enjoy these smaller maps.

 

So, just asking here for the enlightenment of our admin on all of our DM servers: which do you prefer?

[Shamu]

Personally I do not like the small maps. I would rather have room to roam.

 

Small maps are fine for "ranking up" or speeding up gaining accessories for a particular gun, example: grip for Shotty.

 

Other than that I think they are just too hectic with a lot of people in game.

 

Besides a larger map is good for my health, gives an old man like me exercise running around.

[Steak]

I like a few smaller maps thrown in as a change-of-pace but I prefer larger maps in general. Especially if it is a server that is heavily populated most of the time.

[KenMan]

I agree Harry, when the map is too small it's a drag.

[Markoff]

good call harry as you all know building up a great map rotation is not easy we have about 300 maps we can use in all 4 servers.  So some will suit better than others,  beers has build up 8 different rotaion for us to try out and its going to take a little time to weed out the ones that don't work so well .so if you all keep posting ones that work well and the ones that don't we can take these out of the rotation for you

on ace mod,

         havoc ,cod,chernobyl, are all maps that i personally could do without,[more of a fps issue than anything else ]

i always have preferred larger maps, but over all in ace mod a good mix of maps  for all types of players,makes it a good place to be most nights

You need to fix your own FPS issue.

 

We don't have these maps in cod5  havoc ,cod,chernobyl.

[2_MANY_BEERS]

One thing that might be able to happen is map rotation by how many people are in the server at the moment. I've seen this in a config. , but don't know if anybody has ever tried it out. Anybody?  Anybody?

 

Tell me soon cause I am already going through the COD5 DM server map folders  getting the size of the ff file to separate maps between small medium and large. Don't want to waste my time if it don't work.

[TBB]

Small maps are good when there are only a few players - otherwise they are just too hectic to really enjoy.

Larger maps provide a better opportunity to develop skills and make it harder for PoP to find you - lol

[2_MANY_BEERS]

OK got the go ahead to try this out on COD5 DM server. Will set it up as soon as I can. Give me a few though I have a hurricane coming at me. LOL

Here ya go Beers, music for the hurricane parties in New Orleans:

As few of the smaller maps have much in the way of foliage, my preference is for the medium to large maps.  Beers has been experimenting with a way of loading maps according to how many players are logged into the game server and it seemed to work.

 

On the stock FT server, I hope the sniping map sps_flats goes soon.  It is small in size and enjoyment and lacks any foliage.  There is little reason to play it when one can be shot as soon as one spawns and ascends ones building.  Higher ping players really do not stand a chance in sniping duels.  Another feature of these sniping maps that limits gameplay is that one cannot rush the opponents' stronghold.  There's an invisible barrier that stops a player crossing no man's land.

Medium to large for me.They are the best.Beers usually on COD UTILITIES the map maker will tell you what he considers is the size of the map.I don't think file size will always determine the size of the map cause it includes how many buildings etc.are in the map.I'm sure LaBob would know more cause he is a map maker SEE BELOW -Tells you map size

 

AGX St Lo ( CoD5 ) Updated

Note : [ Rate ] Updated Version fixed spawnpoints and a couple of minor issues ( April 15th ) Original MOHAA STLO by -=AGX=- Posse and -=AGX=- Life is opened up by -=AGX=-Ronin to provide an exciting new version. Many buildings have been opened up as well as tunnels added. Don't think you can escape the dogs in the tunnels or up a flight of steps, they will find you. Moved bombplants for more intense warfare. Great for large numbers of players as well as small. Map size: Medium Game type: DM, TDM, SD Author email: agxronin[at]yahoo.com Submitted by: -=AGX=- Ronin ( Thank you! )

[Labob]

Johhnys right file size can be missleading towards map size. And Its Capt.Com who goes through the map and give's it its size. I like the approch he takes towards size gives it a standard feel to map size. .

[Darth Yoda]

I'm a freeze tag player and like the larger maps. Overgrown and Beltot and Belcourt are some of my favs. I like to ninja around and kill snipers

You mean map mp_sniperflats?

[2_MANY_BEERS]

Powercrazy/Markoff/Mikey/ and Olive are going through the maps for DM server right now and we will try this map size by how many people out. If it works we will try and put it in the MW server next. Then the freeze tag servers.

[AflacDuck]

There is nothing wrong with the larger maps but they suck with two or three people in them.  As I tend to play for only an hour or so at a time, I favor the smaller maps to get my blood pumping.  Like to get my fix and get out so to speak.

Yes, that could be it. (Two apartment blocks facing each other and nothing much else.)

 

We hit another of these sniping maps, last night, and voted ourselves onto the next map.

They don't work for FT and I do not appear to be the only one who doesn't care for them -

maybe someone else will comment so I don't look like a whiny pain in the arse!

[Noears711XI]

It all depends on how many people are playing full sever small map no good, empty sever large map no good so a mix is always the best.

[2_MANY_BEERS]

Im so confused

removed because of complaints you whiny pain in the arse!    map mp_sniperflats map mp_sps_side_s 8/31/11

 

LOL    Keep up the comments I am tracking every one of them and or actually doing something about them. LOL
