So I just got off the server playing back to back maps that were really small - DM-VSK Kitchen and the other Kitchen map (can't remember the name but one with the where you can hide in the oven?). Those two maps are good camping for up to about 3 players or so but that's it. It gets ridiculous when you have just 8 players as we had on earlier. The maps are fun for two people that have the camping spots or deemer spots, but the other players just get bounced around with no place to camp - which encourages R&G - it crazy to the point it's just plain stupid. Hopefully a few of you feel the same.
Anyway, with the continued increased traffic on the server, I think it would be a good idea to start replacing the smaller maps on the server with other maps from other servers or otherwise. I saw a few people come to the server and leave after getting fragged 5 times in about 1 minute or so and leave.
I dont know the process or the mechanism on how to do this but I would be more than willing to do whatever work or research it takes to get this done.
I guess this first question is: Is this is a possibility?
If so, I would look to the active clan members for names of other problem maps and their repective replacements as well.
Any thoughts all?
Well it’s a pretty well known fact that a smaller map can be a problem when playing with too many players.
The people that like to run and gun are in favorite of choosing these maps when its crowded on our server.
However it’s not a good idea to replace those maps for other ones. Like you already pointed out, these maps are good camping maps for up to about 3 players or so.
If you are on the server and you see that things are starting to get into a R&G-party. Just act like an admin. and force a change of maps by changing the map into a bigger one.
I know it will give you a lot of complains by certain players, but that’s the way it works.
Agreed. You don't want to take all the small maps off because they come in handy when there are only a few players in the server. When there are a lot of players in the server just tell them during the vote to select a big map, if they don't listen force the switch. If they complain just remember they'll get over it.

The second map Mr Underhill is talking about, have a great problem: the spawn points. They are in very open places, and with the actual spawning time it is impossible to find a spot...
I will modify that map and ask Tommy replace the other.
Gotcha - I might have been a tad too nice at this time - I'm sure it'll go away 😆
I dont know what your talking bout.... Nah really Underhill does have a good point!

Force the map if you can as we will always have issues with 1 map or another if we have alot of traffic. It all depends on the day ( traffic or bugger all ).
