Less Gaza - more Iron Ridge Insurgency

+1

3 Vietnam maps in a row tonight when Kokan was apparently skipped. The Vietnam maps are good, but I can only take so much iron sights and jungle in one sitting.

Like ? No Like ? Hope Ye Like !

Personally its too small to warrant the same map twice (although it is in different formats) And gaza is not to my liking (so iron ridge might be a better choice) but It would work as an interim list with a new one in a week as it is now a new list is needed...

mapList.append fools_road gpm_cq 16
mapList.append karbala gpm_insurgency 64
mapList.append black_gold gpm_cq 32

Maybe once the vietnam craze settles down.

First maplist, any suggestions?

Disagree heartily - it is a great map and worthy of two plays.

It's not to bad.. imo the PR:V teams are fairly well balanced due to the lack of scopes and binos anyhow..but just be mindful of the asset balance too (adding another complexity to team balance issues).

Would like to see more variation in the map lists. Sick of seeing so many of the same maps only featuring the US team...

A few maps that I haven't seen here in a while:
assault_on_mestia
gaza
lashkar_valley
iron_eagle
iron_ridge
operation_ghost_trai n
shijiavalley
korengal
kozelsk
siege_at_ochamchira

Granted some of those aren't the most popular maps, but it doesn't hurt to see them once in a while to give some variation to what has regularly been some very repetitive map lists.

[Noddy]

Since the auto maplist thingy was working without a hitch on Server 1 for a while and it's now reverted to all skirmish maps - I've installed the script on Server 2...

The following maplists are included in the rotation:

mapList.append "ramiel" "gpm_insurgency" 64
mapList.append prv_dien_duong gpm_cq 16
mapList.append "qwai1" "gpm_cq" 16
mapList.append karbala gpm_insurgency 64
mapList.append prv_battle_of_ia_dra ng gpm_skirmish 16
mapList.append "kashan_desert" "gpm_cq" 32
mapList.append "gaza" "gpm_insurgency" 64
mapList.append prv_tad_sae gpm_skirmish 16

mapList.append "prv_battle_of_ia_dr ang" gpm_cq 32
mapList.append "albasrah" gpm_insurgency 32
mapList.append "jabal" gpm_cq 64
mapList.append "prv_dien_duong" gpm_cq 16
mapList.append "iron_ridge" gpm_insurgency 64
mapList.append "prv_tad_sae" gpm_skirmish 16

mapList.append "korengal" gpm_insurgency 16
mapList.append "prv_barracuda" gpm_cq 64
mapList.append "fools_road" gpm_cq 16
mapList.append "karbala" gpm_insurgency 64
mapList.append "black_gold" gpm_cq 32

mapList.append albasrah gpm_insurgency 32

mapList.append "prv_dien_duong" "gpm_insurgency" 64
mapList.append "prv_barracuda" "gpm_insurgency" 64

We encourage more maplists to be included or the above to be modified...

[VapoMan]

Any chance of fitting PRV Dien Duong insurgency in there somewhere.

Apparently its pretty good.

[Noddy]

your eyes painted on?

mapList.append "prv_dien_duong" "gpm_insurgency" 64

(btw that'll be tomorrows rotation)

you want moar?

[VapoMan]

[Noddy]

look closely at the last maplist I quote above....

but will get around to updating the maplists..cheers for reminding me

[VapoMan]

Oh I see it now, at the bottom. Didn't see it there, even when searching the page.

[ryan_ace_10]

I would really like to see Battle for Qinling back in the mix, also there should be some skirmish maps on the list as the server doesn't get the traffic like it used to.

[Noddy]

Sure, do up a rotation and I'll add it to the mix

Server 1 has plenty of Skirmish maps ftw

Can we get an admin on to change map from vietnam! It makes the sever hard to seed as people are trying to join, only to find they can't.

[Bahlye]

Would have thought the words PRV:Beta 2 in the server name would alert most who CTD as to why they CTD ?

(googles "CTD PR vietnam" looks at results and says.. Well there you go.).

[[YAK]M]

Yeah i know, it's very annoying.. Wish they would just download it! I know alla tried like 8-9 times.

I think part of the problem is that it doesn't give you a warning in game, just crashes you without explanation.

This past couple of nights has made it clear to me that Korengal Valley is a very unpopular map for a lot of people.

I personally kind of like it, but maybe it should be removed from server 2? A lot of players quit just based on how things went on korengal. Admittedly it is a VERY frustrating map for the US side.

I agree, it's a shame to see people leaving the server during peak time over an unpopular map, I also heard the frustrations of people in my squad while playing.
