Map Requests for Rotation

So I guess I am the only one who absolutely hates Battlelaxe, aka Base Rape 1942?

It does get out of hand,too bad it isn't an infantry only map.

I second for adding Omaha to rotation.

Yeh Stinky battleaxe does get a bit stupid but boy I just love to kill the rapers

[[JiF]zougathefist]

I like battleaxe, whilst it can get mad with the raping etc.. It is possible to fight back from and even to win from what looks like an impossible position.

I do like it when I am on the raping side though and find one of my super sneaky hidey places where I can snipe the defenders and use the arty. Plus its quick in terms of finding wheer the fighting is

Dittos I'm for adding Omaha to the Rotation

We played Omaha last night & now I remember why it's not in the rotation!

[[JiF]FrenchAfroman]

if we add omaha we shoukld then ask zouga to remove the tiger tank and maybe add a sherman. ive seen this done on many servers and its amazing that way the germans cannot close both ramps and the allies have a fair chance with 2 tanks.
the panzer does not spawn where he should but he spawn where the tiger usualy spawns

I love Omaha, its a great map, but not all that popular. I agree that it can be one sided for the Germans, but that reflects the reality of the Omaha landings

If the Blue team does the right thing though the Germans are done for

All you need are 2 snipers and 1 person in the ship - move the ship to D2 or E2 and using both guns shell the Cr*p out of the first line of defence, as long as the snipers will spot for you, the ship can stay out of range and sight but still be effective
If I can get volunteers I will demonstrate tonight...

hi,

i've posted a few propositions when i discovered your server around 10 months ago.

jif server is currently , for me, the best server for maps/players/ admin behaviour / & fairplay fun spirit...

I personally play "battlebox pure" because they propose "invasion of philippines" every 5/6 maps

ok so :

- baytown is disliked by many, many players (as well as gothic line or peenemunde)

- a big majority of players love raid

- I never ever played phillies in coop, on any server, is it impossible to set ?
(phillies is great if numerous players, but maybe not possible to be handled by bots ...i dont know)

- to me the map I see too often on jif is "santa cross",
i dont like much gazala or worse alamein, but i completely understand that some main jif members love those maps, so I accept to be bombed in the middle of the desert !:-)

- gothic line is a map not so easy to have a fun game on

- I love hellendoorn, phillies, mimo, raid, telemark, husky, wake

I would add raid, aberdeen & phillies in the rotation

sometime you use ctf, which is good to change a bit the fun,
I think you could sometime do the same with objective mod,
not too often but once in while playing eaglenest or mimo in objective mod can add a bit diversity ...
and what about the new maps ?
I played a server (russian i think) proposing new maps quite easy to download (I have them and i am the worst informed gamer outthere !:-)

to me road to italy maps and secret weapons are a bit better than original bf maps
(except phillies & wake that are really great)

the game that are fun often happen on maps with numerous flags, and diverse ways of conquering them.

maps like gothic or omaha, are often boring cause you have only 1 or 2 ways to go, so defensive team just have to stay in tanks and bomb everything that moove...this is impossible on phillies for example.. too many angles to attack ...

it is also true that we love certain maps in comparison to previous ones we like less...
so setting only the "best maps" can lead us to get bored very quickly,
like setting 20 times raid .. i'm sure after 3/4 times most of us would be bored .. :-)


to "bonedaddy", i ma not sure setting maps from 30 to 20 mn would be a good idea

1-the most busy servers set their map with lot of tickets or time (moon around 900 tickets for example)
2- the shorter the games, the longer you stay waiting for new games to set and the more possibility you give to players to quit the server
(many players use the end of a game to quit ..)

conclusion:
I would set the "best maps" based on the opinion of the majority, as many maps as possible, more tickets than what is already set in the server,
and a bit more use of other mods (ctf, objective), alternatively tank maps, urban guerilla, planes/sea

but it is very difficult to please everyone !! :-)

cheers


example:

berlin ctf
wake
mimo
eaglenest objective
aberdeen
battle of britain
husky
telemark
hellendoorn
gazala
phillies
anzio
alamein ctf
midway
stalingrad
tobrouk

oh and on the now deceased "test quinn " server,

we had a lot of fun playing kbely airfield in objective mod,

trying to blow the 2 ufos or defending them (for the german side)
can really get fun sometime ...

everytime i leave a message it says to me, i've earned 3 peanuts,

where can i get those peanuts cause i'm really hungry right now ?? :-) !! -)

[[JiF]Sgt Shellshocked]

Hey excellent post Suntzu. I think you are right that if we just limit the maps to a handful of favourites then we would get bored of them.
As regards your peanuts there is a peanuts link at the top of the forum page where you can find more info.

Good post!
I forgot about these objective modes.
Eagles Nest>> Break down the doors and blow up safe at the top.
Hellendorn>> Blow up rockets on pads
My favorite Telemark>> Blow up the generators at the big main building.

[[JiF]zougathefist]

some good points, well made SunTzu
The only problem with the objective maps is that many people don't realise how to play them so you only need a few people on the attacking side and its over before you know it
