unfortunately, you may have to wait a bit for a response from someone who actually plays DOD:S.

I believe the end of the map vote is enough, but that's just my 2 cents. I played a little on some maps, and never heard a complaint.

I would love to see rtv. I would start playing again and finally not play jagd. Eugh.

I personally don't care for the rtv myself. I have played on servers like that and people constantly whine and say "come on rtv" within 5 seconds of not getting the map the majority voted for. Then when the maps change more frequently, you lose people. You lose people at map change the most, so if people rtv three times in 15 minutes you lose a lot of players. Just my humble opinion.

Bulletstopper

I've said it before, I think that 90% of the maps voted on that are played are the #1 choice on the vote list. Sometimes I don't care what the map is because I'm so engrossed in game play, I'll admit I'm guilty of hitting #1 just to get it off my screen. Unless someone gets on the mic right away to request a map, that's the rare time I've seen It not be the #1 choice. Maybe I'm way off base, but does it not seem like map #1 is usually the winning map?

One resolution I've proposed before is to change the vote numbers to #6, 7, 8, 9, and 0. This would require people to use either their right hand or really long left index finger to vote. I know people will still choose the first one on the list, so my second resolution is to scramble the maps up each time - which is highly probable that's already happening, I'm just not sure.

I agree with Bullet on this one, map changes kill server population, no argument there.

Lastly, is it possible to change the default map to a random map? Unfortunately the server has been crashing 3 or 4 times a day, at least during the 6 hours I normally put in, and Anzio is coming up a lot. Not that it bothers me, it's my favorite map after all, but we played it for about 1 hour and a half last week because the server crashed and there was two minutes left on Anzio, then it reset back to Anzio, played for another 30 mins and then got 2 - 3 mins into Argentan and reset it back to Anzio. By that time I stopped playing, and I'll admit there were a lot of steam issues last week, so maybe that was an anomaly which I can live with, just thought I'd suggest randomizing maps on server restarts if possible.

If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. I know it's impossible to please everyone, but suggestions never hurt.

Thanks,
