Bridge/Pipe/Urban-Free Day?; T-Phil's post on FTK forums

From T-Phil's FTK post:

At the time I just checked, of the 14 servers with anyone playing, 11 servers are on Bridge, Pipeline or Urban Assault. Now, I know that most clans like at least one of those maps, but it may be time to promote a little more diversity in the maps that the 2.5 community plays. While the clans generally play a wider variety, many new players find their niche and stick to it. Even some clan members that I know of spend part-time on 2.8 just for the wider map selection. If we can get people interested in maps other than the Big 3, we can get better-rounded players (and improve the recruiting pool) and hopefully fill more of the servers, not to mention fighting boredom. Wink

I'd like to see if there is any interest out there among the server admins out there in designating one specific day a week as an "Bridge/Pipe/Urban-Free Day" (and that includes SF and SE versions). If it's something that the FTK clans are willing to get behind, I would contact as many of the non-FTK admins as I can to try to spread the word.

All feedback, admin or not, would be appreciated.


Personally, I think this is a great idea. =Fas= has a history of map diversity (well, a slight obsession with River Basin, but ignoring that :) ). It would be nice to get some of that back.

I agree! Plus, this would mean my favorite maps (courtyard, oasis, etc.) would come on more often. Im all for it. :cool:

Im sick of the same maps all the time
except my favorite SfOasis & Hospital
I will do all the SF Maps AA has to offer
This is why i did all training for


Bridge and MT Pass are for noobs i already complete those
maps for the exception of Mt Pass SE i need 2% to finish this map
It does not means we should stop playing those maps
we can play once on a while but not on the daily basis

sounds great. I hate bridge and pipeline gets old after a while but I always love playing on different maps that can still be a lot of fun..i.e. SF Dockside or SF Blizzard are awesome maps but rarely played. Even SF H2O Treatment is a sweet map but also unplayed.

T-Phil is hoping that ALL 2.5 admins can agree to a day (or days) that NO Pipeline, Bridge, or Urban Assault will be played. He's seen what I've seen... the second our server goes to something different, most of the non-clan lower honor players RUN to a server with those three maps.

Kill the big 3! Spread Diversity!

lol

There's a lot of support for it in the FTK thread. We could make this happen!

I'm definitely up for that. Just name a day (and a TimeZone!! maybe using GMT...) and i'll help enforce a "No Big 3 Day"

He's Timid but in a friendly sort of way! ...Kinda!
That would be brilliant.

It is however a shame that when the other maps ARE available, (as is the case most of time) that they are rarely used.

An agreement might help less map acquainted player s discover a whole dimesion to 2.5
