New Map Rotation!

Alright, well...in my opinion, there are too many vehicles in the maps. For example, Utapau, Yavin, Kashyyyk, Naboo can be fun, until the vehicles come out. If you don't play as a heavy, then you're almost certain to die. I'd say take vehicles out of as many maps as possible, then people will actually have to fight, like the game is meant to be played, I have a lot more fun in TD on servers where vehicle are usually absent from the maps, since each battle is a battle and not a slaughter from a noob in a vehicle. Again, just my opinion...

I'd like to see a list of the new maps, then i'd have a better idea of my opinion. But, I mostly agree with JJ. I don't think there should be so many vehicles. Although the one map I think they a good thing on is Polis Massa CTF.

When Panzers rolled out of the Ardennes in 1944 I don’t think the allies would have considered the Germans “noobs” for using armor. When M1 Abrams attacked the Republican Guard in Desert Storm I don’t think the Iraqis’ considered the Americans “noobs” either.

Some of us like vehicular homicide. Just because we do it well doesn't make us "noobs". We see a tactical advantage and we exploit it. Tank battles require different strategies than pure infantry, but that's the point. Solo infantry against armor is not a good idea. You have to adapt your tactics to the situation. (I do enjoy tank busting and slicing just as well.)

Personally, I like to play as different units than rocket, like sniper on Kashyyyk, or engie on Utapau and Yavin. I was on Kashyyyk a few days ago playing sniper, and all some people were doing were mining up the speeder bikes and ramming into the other team. Plus, too many people spawn camp with vehicles. Playing without vehicles lets everybody play as the class they want to play without fear of a tank coming their way, leaving them defenseless unless they play rocket. I'm already getting bored of every open conquest map having vehicles, and I'll probably just leave the server and go play td on more I guess.

The only maps in the rotation that might need vehicles in my opinion are Geonosis CTF, since the map is very large, and maybe Polis Massa CTF, since you can stay inside if you don't like vehicles.

I guess I should mention that anti-tank warfare is much more fun when the det-packs have been modded to kill tanks just like a mine. (increased the vehicle scale damage property) I can take out 2 with one blast if I toss it just right.

I always thought it was unfair that the mines had a bigger bang while the det-pack is significantly larger in size, so I corrected the situation in my server. Naboo plays much better now.

So we've got Kamino? Now all we need is Mygeeto.

Good point Pyro. I'm fine with leaving tanks on Geo and Polis, but that's pretty much it.

BTW, where is the new list?

Haha yea never put Endor and Felucia on the rotation...no one likes those maps. Mygeeto, on the other hand, is actually a very popular map.....without tanks of course. Tanks are just a nuisance in this game. They take the fun out of Utapau, Mygeeto, Naboo, etc......

Kashyyyk can be a fun map if u like to play sniper. If u dont and u are facing good snipers on the other team, than it probably gets really annoying for you.

Sorry about that. Forgot about Kamino. That is one of the maps NOT in the new rotation.

We tried Kamino CTF a few months back. It was even a modded version where you could capture some of the Command Posts. One of the CPs being right where the flag spawns in at! I thought it would be popular, but it was a server-killer. We'd go from 24/24 players to 10/24 after the first 2 minutes of that map!
Kamino might be OK in Conquest mode, but there's already a gang of conquest maps now.
If we add anymore conquest maps, it'd probably be Kamino and Mygeeto. But not right now. I'm not a big fan of either of those maps in Conquest or CTF.

So, the only problem with the new rotation is the tanks? Shoot, that's an easy fix.

Well like you said, the tanks should stay on Geonosis. The spider-droids and hellfire-tanks are a part of that map. But I'll remove the tanks from every other map. They lag the server too much anyways. And I like to snipe on Kashyyyk as well. Usually just stand in the water plucking off the enemy, but a jerk in a tank would always get me. So, I definitely see your point.

And just to let y'all know Polis Massa will NEVER have tanks again! You can thank all the glitchers for that one. The last time I played Polis Massa with tanks, I spent more than 80% of that map booting people for bringing the tanks inside and hiding in the floors and walls getting cheap kills. I think I only got to play 2 lives in over 20 minutes cuzz I was constantly going to the computer to boot those cheaters! As a matter of fact, I think I finally got fed-up and just sent it to the next map and then removed the tanks right away.




So other than too many tanks, does the new rotation look good guys?

Looks good to me .

That's hilarious. I played Engineer on Kashyyyk and a sniper in the water kept plucking me off, so since he was out of shotgun and det-pack range, I hopped in a tank and got him.

Different players, different server, same situation from a different perspective.

Yeah, I see your point too. hehe If someone is sniping you and you wanna deal with 'em right away jumping in a tank and runnin them down is the best way! But it did kinda force me to stop using a sniper when that would happen.

I guess I never really had that much of a problem with the tanks cuzz I use a heavy so much. I own the tanks when I'm the Rocket-Man!


Well, I uploaded the modded tankless maps for Utapau, Yavin, Kashyyyk, and Naboo.
Polis Massa already had them removed and I kept the tanks in Geonosis.


Happy Hunting!

The proper tool for the proper job!

On SWBF1 - tanks weren't as cheap - they were slower and far easier to kill and hide from with the obstacles in maps. SWBF2 is too wide open, I'm with JJ'. Whenever I'm in Arena and I see a tank map, I leave. Hoth would be the only map I'm ok with tanks because they are slow or flying. Also, for all of our sake - put a damn CTF timer on.

Also I'd like Team Damage On...but I don't think that's going to change.

lol i definetly c jj's point but ima so miss those tanks lol no more tank buster 4 me lol on kysyyyk id especially love em cuz i put the mines n the water where the tanks go over and i almost always get damage increase lol well wanna try to get tanks on polis again and c how it goes? cuz i never noticed em glitch b4 lol

hmm as far as the rotation goes its good tho mayb a few 2 many con maps but i dont mind so much lol

Well, I changed my mind on the tanks.
As much as I like using a sniper on Kashyyyk (which is not "that" much), I'd prefer to actually have fun on that map! I played it without the tanks and that reminded me why I put them in that map in the first place. Oh my God, that map is friggin boring without the tanks!

So, the tanks are back in for Kashyyyk, Naboo, Utapau, and Yavin.

It'll suck if 2 or 3 players leave the server for those maps cuzz they don't like tanks.
But it really sucks that the server loses over 10 players when they figure out that there's no tanks and they're gonna have to carry the flag 1,000 yards thru sniper-fire!



And I'm not liking the last part of the 1st rotation. Geonosis needs to be Conquest. CTF for that map is painfully boring. And I didn't really like Mustafar Conquest. The whole time that map was going I just kept thinking "Man, I hope this ends soon so the server doesn't lose many more players." And the rotation is too long - I want it to get back to Death Star and Tantive quicker.

So, I got a little more work to do in shaving off some more "less-fun" maps....

I can see why for Kashyyyk, maybe Yavin, but for Utapau and Naboo? Those maps have too narrow paths for tanks, especially Utapau. Sorry but I'm just gonna have to leave for those maps if there's tanks.

yay tanks bak too! lol yeah i thought the rotation was too long to lol and i mustafar con was one of the maps i didnt like either lol bummer jj but if u snipe from the ledges u can avoid the tanks lol or stick around when im on ur team those tanks will neva reach u mhu hahaha

Tanks prowling down the streets of Naboo is the definitive example of urban combat. Lots of archways and vestibules to lay in wait to ambush tanks. Reminiscent of the battle for Berlin. It's classical, and as I recall, there were tanks and armed speeders skirmishing in the streets of Naboo in Episode I.

I like bustin' tanks just as much as drivin' them.
