Regarding CTF Maps

gameplay > aesthetics

 

7vrth4, haven't heard any hate of most new maps yet and most aren't made by builders/mods

 

'People can play the maps they make' no

 

As mentioned previously, we will be most likely be changing things up for the next map wave. The specifics aren't decided yet since we have a few other more important things we need to figure out first - but it will be different. Things we may explore are more player involvement towards the end of the process, as well as the addition of live testing.

Once we figure it out, I'm sure you'll see a post from us in the map submissions thread.

 

under which stone have u been lying

 

well, what defines an experienced player? I also don't think it should be down to community vote cuz a lot of people are biased and will +1 maps that favour their main class.

 

Well there are a few ways to go about it. For example, we could have a community vote and a mod vote and compare the lists. Another way is we could create a pool of players who'd like to participate in voting and then the mods could selete people from that to vote, and we'd switch players every wave. If that would be considered too bias for people, we could leave it to a lottery for the pool.

So, there's a few different ways we can do it. If it doesn't work perfectly this next wave, we'll do something different for the one after etc etc...

 

None

 

CTF staff are people who have been playing CTF a long time and have a lot of experience in the game. I get the impression from the orginal post that Duck views the CTF staff as though they don't know anything about the game. I respect their decisions, even if they haven't always been popular.

Besides, if the community is allowed to choose which maps go into the rotation, what's preventing it from becoming a popularity contest? Would the community be able to choose better maps to add than the CTF staff because of their so called more experience?

 

I said this before, but why don't we have a Beta server specifically for testing maps where stats don't count? TF2 has this, so why don't we?

 

@Shawn_ , there wouldn't be enough people to justify its own server. If anything, we'd rotate the maps on the match server.

 

its not hard to code a map lol its literally like 4 signs

 

Bro...

 

Not all maps were build by builders and mods, but I agree, I think the map choice should be able to be picked by the community.

 

U r wiki tem u r staff

 

But ur not c; and acy isn't^^

 

Pay to test? Eula? Bro.

Maybe a map testing team with experienced ctfers and map makers and mods.
