Have server rotate maps upon restart
Have the servers rotate the map loaded upon restart so that all maps get played.

Dictating map choice is never a good thing. Ask pubg players. The server choice atm is pretty solid.

ATM we have 3 servers with different maps, all of which get played. I don't see how doing this would help all maps get played?

People will play what's loading. The way it is currently setup, least favorite map whatever that may be will be avoided if only one server is filling. Cherno for example will not get loaded if there is an empty BOZ or Altis ready. I'll be surprised if Cherno loads on a weekday like today. With the above, the maps would rotate on each server so the if people choose to only play Bozcada or Altis the other maps will eventually force play on rotation.

So make the new map thats bringing in a lot of new players invisible sometimes. Cant see how that would be workable or benefit anyone.

why you want to force the players @KraxKill??
greyworm 24/02/20 17:27 flag comment
so you want to force people to play what you want to play, instead of what they want to play?

thats a good idea all our maps being played; though i doubt its doable or easy doable; i guess it would be better if the next map choice would be randomized (is not just the next one in rotation list), so people won't be discouraged with the upcoming 'unpopular' map as next one;
with this kind of map system you would need only 2 solo and 3 team reg servers so one are able to play as well maps that are absent now: Stratis, Malden, Bozcaada for solo hc and Stratis, Malden for team reg; and Wake (hc and reg) as bonus for both;
in this case one have to build pretty complicated system where the next server is opened to enter only the moment the previous game is started

you guys are funny. Nobody is "forcing" anybody to play what they don't want. What this would do is make sure the "everybody" would "eventually" get to play a map they like. What you are saying is the "selfish" thing.

Let me give you an example...what if there are "new" players that only want to play Cherno....but if it never loads, they won't. Do you want to exclude the "new" specific map addicts from joining the BR community and playing? I'd like to add them.

But all servers are getting played equally right now, which why I don't get your point. The 2nd game to start today was Cherno, which was picked over an Altis.

It was the same yesterday, Cherno, Boz, Altis rotating to the end. I don't there is that many players that only wants to play the same map over and over again. Cherno is ok, but the sucky black circle and lack of loot makes it uninteresting to play twice in a row.
Rotating the map on server reset will potentially get us stuck with three or more altis, boz or cherno round in a row, and I can't personally see why this would be a good idea.

Maybe just 1 server with a rotation? I remember back when Pianosa was in for a bit, that specific server rotated between Pianosa and Wake if I remember correctly. Maybe have 1 server with the options being the missing maps for solo hc (Stratis, Bozcaada, Malden, Tembelan, Tanoa, Wake). Also maybe players with spectate could choose the map to be played through the scientist? The later option could be interesting to play maps that haven't been played in a long time for community games.

24 hours no Cherno....see my point? The 'new' wore off and it's dead again. Without server map rotation this mod is tied to Boz and or Altis. Especially on weekdays. Forget the others that could be played like Stratis and Wake

we played 2 cherno yesterday
but I have to admit that this map doesn't start until altis and boz are already incurred.
