    EDIT: If my idea doesn't work, then look at post #10 and see if that is better...

    This idea was from the old forums, and I decided to transfer and revise it.

    So, is it possible that players vote for the next map for the next game? The gamemode would be random, and players would have three choices:

    - a specified (but randomly generated) map
    - the previous map
    - a random map that will be introduced when the 10 second countdown starts

    Now, the command to vote and the way it is displayed in the chat is completely up to the owners and admins, but I think that map voting should be implemented.

    Things to note:
    Now, people will try to abuse the system by voting on a map that can be only played on a certain gamemode, so, it'd be best to code it to where the specified and random map cannot be maps that aren't played with the gamemode. If the previously played map is not played with the upcoming mode, it should be removed from the choices. This coding could take a while, but many players would look forward to it, as everyone likes to have their choice count!

    I totally agree that we should vote for maps, but people in the chat will just spam for people to vote for the maps they want (like they do with the mods for them to change maps).

    I think it would be cool if it were similar to CoD where if you play a map 3+ times, it would be unpickable.

    Precisely. But, you do like the idea of choosing, eh?

    - a specified (but randomly generated) map Ok
    - the previous map No. If the last map was good, people would keep replaying it.
    - a random map that will be introduced when the 10 second countdown starts Would never win. Not enough time to vote

    I like the map system the way it is. Your ideas would cause some maps to be over-played and others would never be played. I prefer it random.

    OK. So, I don't think you exactly got me. The previous map would only be able to be voted on twice in a row (like in BO2), and after 2 times, the only choices would be the specified or random map.

    Now, voting stops once the 10 second countdown starts, so if the random map gets voted, it'll be revealed, and whether the players like it or not, it'l be played.

    If you want, I'll clarify my main post.

    I've seen a server where two maps are picked randomly. Each one of these maps get voted and whichever map gets the most votes will be played. Once the 10 second count starts, the voting should end so players can choose their gun. 2 random maps. Still incorporates @_The_Ender_Boss_ 's idea so it is semi random, but still allows players to vote. IMO this should be added, but not in your way @HuiDog (Please don't take offense) but in this way so everyone can be happy. Of course, to incorporate your idea, we can have the previous map for the 3rd option but only for 2 times.

    Seems like mine, but with a few adjustments. I like you idea, since it's so similar. My point is to be able to VOTE for the next map. That's it.

    Sounds like a great idea in my opinion.

    We'll have voting for three random maps soon :V
    It won't include the gamemode

    I guess it's because people thought it meant voting for a gamemode.
