SgtHarryWeezer - DM players: Do you prefer larger or smaller maps?
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?
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.
You mean map mp_sniperflats?
