No Download Suggestions ND (archived by NightFall)

Ola,

I was playing with a couple of players in ND server.

Following ideas came up which I think are worth thinking about, not saying we should immediately do it.

Idea from FragBasterd and me would be to put another ''new'' map in each month. So we have a monthly new map which will be put in the ND server. Lots of benefits for players who play very often its fun to see a new map from time to time.

Secondly a guest who was playing complained about the spawn time of axis in some maps its close to impossible to complete the objective and that kinda is the idea.... With all the Panzer, Mines and Rifles I agree some maps are more difficult then others with regards to completing the objective.

His idea was to increase the Spawn time of the Axis team for a couple seconds 3-5, dunno what kind of an impact this would have but I think it would be interesting to see though.

Maps which we could put this for would be; Oasis & GoldRush.

Last idea (dunno if this is technically possible), would there be any possibility for players to vote after each map the next one ?

After the game time expired or objective has been completed players get the chance to Vote for their next map. If for example at least half of the players vote the new map would be selected, if not original next map would be applied.

Let me know what you think,

Cheers!

Increasing spawntimes would be huge. As for having people vote for the next vote, I THINK it's doable using enhmod yeah, but I doubt it would be a good thing since you'd be playing the same maps ove rand over again, and some wouldnt be played at all (from the base 6 maps, and i'm pretty sure there are SOME people who enjoy those, so...)

Agree with Enigma here, I’ve played on a few servers that use the voting system when picking the next map, and in all situations; certain maps get overplayed all the time and it becomes boring to play on the server. There’s certain maps on ND that people hate, (Railgun) for example, won’t get played at all or other maps that the players hate.

With the times, it might be possible but like stated above, could be huge. A test could be done on the TEST server.

Maybe an idea to take one map (less played) in a rolation system 1month railgum 1 month a random map where ppl can vote for on the forums ?

If certain maps arent played cause they are not ''liked'' maybe its a good idea in the first place to replace those ?

How do you intend to defend having a nodownload server with the nodownload maps taken out?

[Chucky]

Haha fair point. However there are already 3 Download maps in there. Dunno if from a strategic point of view players would actually stay away if you change / add a couple more.

Still think that the '' new map each month '' idea is a good one though...

The same way people have always defended having a nodownload server with downloadable maps and mods? Only "NoDownload" in the server is the name.
