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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

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. .
