#1: Fall 2012 Map Pool Author: BECK,
You have posted in this forum: Tue Sep 04, 2012 9:31 am
Time is approaching for a map change. I'm taking data as of today and making decisions as to which maps will remain based purely on the number of votes. This method may work for this round, but it could also be that 'throw-away' votes on less popular maps (the 1s and the 2s) can stack up and make a map appear more popular than it actually is. I suspect that is true of at least one of these maps, but there are a significant amount of plays to make it somewhat believable.
Here is the current voting data:
Map | Number of Plays | Number of Votes
| chartwell | 36 | 673
| Adlernest | 55 | 645
| Tower | 66 | 628
| Braundorf | 39 | 579
| Frostbite | 45 | 551
| Supply Pro | 50 | 545
| warbell | 30 | 541
| Special Delivery | 45 | 519
| Chicken Bucket | * | 491
| Beerrun | 35 | 480
| Goldendunk | 33 | 479
| radar | - | 439
| lna | 34 | 384
| El Kef | 21 | 364
| Capture the Gold | 39 | 354
| Bremen | 32 | 341
| Dubrovnik | 23 | 324
| Steel plant | 14 | 317
| v2 base | 15 | 300
| Railgun | - | 299
| Industry 2 | 15 | 291
| Goldrush | - | 291
| v2 factory | 16 | 289
| Password 2 | 11 | 288
| Fueldump | - | 278
| Oasis | - | 271
| Snatch 3 | 19 | 245
| Battery | - | 209
| old bones | 13 | 150
| Pirates | 8** | 90**
|
* - The number of plays for Chicken is always abnormally high - this is because if the server gets stuck on it, the map will not end until there is a winner. For some reason, this results in it counting the map too many times. Therefore, this value was dropped from consideration.
- - Stock maps are part of the regular rotation and therefore cannot be factored into number of plays.
** - Pirates was modified to feature a new version half-way through this map cycle, so the numbers here appear abnormally low. I do not have data for the previous version of pirates.
Based on this data:
MAPS THAT WILL REMAIN
- Battery (stock)
- Fueldump (stock)
- Goldrush (stock)
- Oasis (stock)
- radar (stock)
- Railgun (stock)
- chartwell
- Adlernest
- Tower
- Braundorf
- Frostbite
- Supply Pro
- warbell
- Special Delivery
- Chicken Bucket
- Beerrun
- Goldendunk
- lna
- El Kef
- Capture the Gold
- Bremen
- Dubrovnik
- Pirates
- RESERVED FOR MAP OF THE WEEK #1
- RESERVED FOR MAP OF THE WEEK #2 (flex)
MAPS THAT WILL BE DROPPED
- Steel plant
- v2 base
- Industry 2
- v2 factory
- Password 2
- Snatch 3
- old bones
This leaves us with slots for 7 new maps. Since people already suggested maps in this thread, they should take precedence. Kudos to you for paying attention to the forums and bothering to suggest something!
MAPS THAT WILL BE ADDED
- ET Center (suggested by Sir Sux)
- Stalingrad (suggested by Hobbs/bak3d/beck)
- Carentan (suggested by Venom)
This leaves us with 4 slots open for maps. Since the point of "map of the week" was to find good, new maps, I'm going to suggest we fill those four slots with the top four vote getters from all the maps of the week that we've had.
Once Nort's week is finished, we'll have a vote for the top maps of the week, and those maps will make it into the regular rotation.
So, the final rotation that will be running the week of September 17th will be:
PLANNED FINAL ROTATION
- Battery (stock)
- Fueldump (stock)
- Goldrush (stock)
- Oasis (stock)
- radar (stock)
- Railgun (stock)
- chartwell
- Adlernest
- Tower
- Braundorf
- Frostbite
- Supply Pro
- warbell
- Special Delivery
- Chicken Bucket
- Beerrun
- Goldendunk
- lna
- El Kef
- Capture the Gold
- Bremen
- Dubrovnik
- Pirates
- Carentan (NEW)
- Stalingrad (NEW)
- ET Center (NEW)
- MotW Vote Pick #1 (TBD)
- MotW Vote Pick #2 (TBD)
- MotW Vote Pick #3 (TBD)
- MotW Vote Pick #4 (TBD)
- RESERVED FOR NEW MAP OF THE WEEK #1
- RESERVED FOR NEW MAP OF THE WEEK #2 (flex)
That gives us our full 32 map run.
Since I personally find it helpful to learn maps like Carentan and ET Center (which I've never played), I will probably go ahead and make video walkthroughs of them and Stalingrad (because people hate it for some reason, but I think they just don't know it). So those will be up in the next few weeks too.
Voting soon for the final 4 slots!
