    Howdy Brawl,
    I've got some details to my plan of 'Old Timer's Day' :grinning:

    -It would be once a month, probably on a Sunday or a Monday. (Because Sunday most people are home and Monday you'll have something to look forward to coming home from school/work/whatever.)

    -It would involve maps that
    A: haven't been played for a long time, like maps from wave 1 to 8
    B: haven't been selected for the waves. I know some people get upset when their map doesn't make it, and this way there's a (small) chance it CAN be played, but just for one day.
    C: are older versions of maps (Like the original of Castle, unholy faith, Kill Creek, Clocktower, etc.)

    -We could take like 20-30 maps for one day, and play those for the WHOLE day (So no one accidentally misses one). The we take 20-30 MORE maps for the NEXT month, on the NEXT Old Timer's Day. 30 maps is quite a few.

    -Every week before the event, we can run an ad that says (Old Timer's Day is next day Sunday/monday/whenever

    These are the idea's and details I have so far. If anyone else has some idea's plz let me know in this thread!

    Pretty much just a repeat of your past thread. I don't want this because it's just ruin the fun even if you took different maps each week, I'd rather just have it every month. Also why do you keep saying that you want this in the rotation? Pretty sure it just be added as a new update not a new map.

    O yeah, there's a reason maps haven't been added, it's because they aren't good enough, I don't really fancy playing maps that aren't good enough even if I've made them.

    I agree with half of sportyman. Old maps are archived/not played because they are old and ctf has changed since they were played. A map like waterfall would have been easier to play with soldier when there was no cooldown because of obvious reasons. When a staff member does eventually decide to set some old maps, it is special for everyone playing and it's fun because it's a change of pace and people get to play maps they otherwise wouldn't. I think playing these maps once a week would take out the specialness of playing these maps and eventually it would just be another sunday (or monday) of ctf. Also, you can't rotate 15 maps every week because sooner or later maps would run out.

    With that said, there could be special events everyone once in a while that are hosted by a staff member or members, where they would set these maps and everyone would get to play them. Events could be broadcasted on the forums (as events for other gamemodes like hg and wildwest are now) so people would know when they would happen. Also, members of the community could suggest maps on the forums that they would like to see during the event. As well, a few minutes before the ctf event started, it could be broadcasted that old maps are being played on ctf (like what happens with hg). If these did start happening, I think they should either be hosted every few months, or randomly everyone once in a while. These events wouldn't be all day because playing just 3-4 hours would start to get boring playing the same maps over and over.

    Yeah, that's true, but, come on, it's only once a week XD. But, ok, I guess we could maybe change it to like once every two weeks, or once a month? Would that make it more special?
    By the way, I DO disagree with the fact that you say the maps will run out. Trust me, there are enough maps. But I do agree it would be less special.
    Long story short: How about we use sort of this idea, but do it for once a month, other than once a week? Because this would still be cool to have, I think. (A month can take a REALLY long time XD.)

    I'll change it from once a week to once a month.

    Well according to this, you might have 8-10 weeks maps (event once a week) and that's it before you start playing ones over and over. This is just an estimate but it would eventually start getting boring especially because many of these maps are just different versions of the same map.

    Yeah, I thought about changing it to once a month

    That would make it more special and handier to organize.
