If you don't like the given choices just vote for a refresh. As for new maps... I for one am all for adding some custom maps. I'm not a fan of half-baked maps but if it plays well and looks halfway decent I'm all for trying it out! It will take time to get it setup correctly but you can help by testing new maps on your own and finding maps we can use. I know there are a lot out there and not all of them are worth looking at but you are welcome to help hunt them down! baldie, BUDMAN, Nisty* and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did say even after we refresh it.........."when it finishes the vote selection either gives you 5 night maps and 1 day map or at best 4 night maps and 2 day maps this is even after we refresh it many times", you are not reading my post Eidolon, i said there are a shit load of maps already in the Steam Workshop, this works the same as it does for other games like Red Orchestra/Rising Storm, you go into the workshop tick the appropriate tab ie maps for certain game modes etc, you then tick a "subscribe button" i have subscribed to many maps in Red Orchestra/Rising Storm this way and now also subscribed to many maps for Insurgency too, they only download and install to your PC when you are on a server that has those maps running and it is actually playing a map you have subscribed to, so how you "test" them i really have no idea, if you go into the workshop and click on a picture of one of these maps you may get a video of the map or maybe a lot of still pictures of the said map, underneath this, will be comments from the map maker and comments from players who have used or are using the said map and if anyone has had any problems with the map it will be posted and taken care of.

We won't be doing custom maps on the tactical server for a little while because if we make the server a custom server it won't fill up with players. People are only finding it now because they're using the matchmaking menu and automatically connecting because we are a stock server. Before we can go off the beaten trail with custom maps, we need to have a regular player base big enough to keep the server populated. Aside from panj and sinjar (which are just poorly designed maps), I'm actually still getting tons of play-ability out of the stock maps. There's always a new line to learn and optimize.

I'll see what I can do about getting custom maps in the co-op server. It's going to take time though. Tactical server has priority atm and I don't have a whole lot of time to work on it this weekend. Please be patient. I only got access to the server files yesterday and there's a lot of work to be done.
