    Before anyone tells me, I do know that the wiki shows pictures of all of War's maps.

    So I was wondering if we could make an option at the spawn where you could teleport to a world that lets you view all of the maps from any perspective. I personally think that this would let new players (and players that don't remember maps too much) get a good feel of what map is coming up next and let them see all of the maps in game without having to wait for the map they want to see to be the next playable map.

    If this idea is accepted could we also add sections for the area, like current maps, deleted maps, and upcoming/accepted maps?

    Let me know what you guys think about this :grinning:

    Are you suggesting something like being able to view the map of the next gamemode before the game starts? Lets say that the next gamemode is showdown tdm, you would be able to right click something in your hotbar if you wanted to view the map and could fly around it till the game starts?

    Why not? 1.8 allows for spectator mode, so just use that to teleport to the map without being able to move or break anything.

    The way I thought we could do it was make a superflat world and put every map that has been added to War in it. Then, there was a gadget in your hotbar given to you at spawn, and you could right click it and hover over different items (like in a chest) and each one would teleport you to the map it has linked to it.

    Also a handy way to discover OOMs!

    I think that you should have 3 options of which is the next map. Two maps and a "Random" option. Kind of like console call of duty.

    This also means more OOMers. :3 they then have more time to look around and find them, and they can easily,be abused till staff use barriers.

    I'll go with +0. Idea seems nice, but being added in 2.0 (most likely).
    Next off, I'd rather have an in-game spectator option (possibly w/ a chat feed).

    Seems like a good idea, also a great idea for people to fin out of map locations.

    Thats not what he is suggesting at all, but that is also a good idea.

    If that were the case there would be a problem if you were in-game. Well, to solve my own problem I have a solution. Once you type /war l you have to wait a few seconds because it wouldn't be fair if you randomly teleported in battle. Then it would clear your stats for that game to make it fair once again, if you have a good game and want to go around the map it would clear as well as having a bad game. Also you cannot join back into the game, only spectate. After that same thing would happen and you would be teleported to the lobby, it would just say in the chat that stats are turned off due to spectate mode.
