[meuhey]

cmon the beta is up for like 3 days I guess we will have the privilege of testing all map if they switch every 3-4 days.

 

[Hillstorm]

Great news. Just in time for the long weekend

Thumbs up!

 

[sprinkles]

Really hope the old maps are switched out or servers start doing 24/7.

Wouldn't like switching between all these maps with how short each round is atm.

If they actually do rotate the maps as rumored, than i give tripwire massive props.

They are really going the extra mile to please all of us.

*brofist*

^this is for you tripwire

After opening up the RO2 Beta with 3 maps (Fallen Fighters, Apartments and Gumrak), we are cycling in 3 more maps for everyone later today:

Grain Elevator - the iconic battle site in the south of Stalingrad featuring long range infantry fighting outdoors and room to room close quarters combat inside

Red October Factory - night-time fighting in the factory ruins on an epic scale with infantry and tanks fighting side by side

Barracks - a mix of close-quarter and medium-range combat, sure to be a fan favorite

All 3 maps will have both Territory and Countdown game modes, while Barracks also has the Firefight mode.

I am most excited about the factory. Nighttime fighting sounds epic.

And i am excited for Grain elevator, looks epic.

Great. I hope they fix the map voting system at the same time - so its not just 3 choices (1 game mode) and it only registers the first couple votes

TBH, how about a map rotation so all the maps get played

its down to the server admins to limit voteing options AFIK...id love to see more dedicated TE servers...

We run nothing but territory. Forgive the server advert here but:

ro2.thegamewardens.net

Hopefully with more maps in there the map voting works a bit better, I have a suspicion (unconfirmed gut feeling more like it) that the map voting seems so short because as soon as a majority of players click a map it just switches. So everyone votes in 10 seconds and it's done.

Now lets hope those maps really are the maps alot of people were waiting for, and tone down a bit on the run and gunning SMG ownage of the current maps.

 

[El Burro]

Yes I have to luciferintears tripwire is doing a tremendous job here.

Bit silly at the moment... with 64 players per server, you've usually only got a choice of four populated servers with reasonable ping. Two of those will be full, one will be Gumrak; leaving you with a choice of one server.

Join the server only to see reinforcements are depleted with 1:30 left to run. Voting time: TE Apartments wins again!!!11!

Try refreshing.

Server broswer seems far from perfect. Without filters, I get widely different results every time I refresh.
