I have an idea for a map I am keen on creating, but I do not think it would suit 64 player servers, so how would maps that don't really support 64 slotters be received in general? I expect the mapper would still add enough class slots in the map for 64 slot servers, but it would be up to the admin to put it on

How about this:

The admin can set the max players for each map on his server. When players join beyond that maximum, they are put in a spectator queue. When someone dies, he goes to the spectator queue and the first man in the spectator qeueu will spawn.

Happy Go Lucky Fun for All......


The map is a blast. And.... its a great change of pace. We've been running it since last weekend and everyone thinks its hilarious! When it comes up in rotation, nobody leaves. That's a good sign that they get a kick out of it.

Release it Wolvy.. its a buncha fun and laughs.

Like I said, a large part of the community plays on servers with less than 64 people. Some custom maps have been designed for 64 and are just too large for 16 or 32 slots servers. I don't see why you couldn't make a map suited for 16 or 32 only. Also, again, with the dynamic map rotator, it's possible to let it pop up depending on the number of players. So, go ahead!

Release it. The more custom maps the better, and everybody enjoys a just-for-giggles map once in a while. I got a good time out of that Polish server in RO1 that only ran silly maps like Glasswarehouse and Skijump.

Screw it, release the Kraken!! Some mindless fragging between the territory maps should fun. If someone could make a mutator that randomly makes a match melee only, that would be even more fun.

You have my axe

There is already a melee only mode (and it will be working again after the next patch). It is funny on Gumrak

All I did during a test was JIHAD in the capzone with my satchel charge.

I did that once on Arad 2 and I justed started flying and jumping around with my T-34. It was a tactic that was used by the Russians in WWII though. Turned out to work quite well
