Mapvote interval

I was just wondering what the thoughs where on this
It is now set to 1 meaning maps can be played and then 1 other map before the same map can be played .. this prevents the same map being played over and over ..
I was thinking on maybe upping that numer a bit (perhaps 2 or 3 )and so getting a bit more map variaty in there ..
But there is of course a downside to that ..
1 is u will sometimes have to wait until u can play ure favo map
But the upside is that there will be more different maps played ..
Gimme a hand here what do u peeps think ?
Cheers

That's a good idea. It would be nice also if we had a setting where you don't have to play each map 2 or 3 times before the game is over. I know that is what ONS is all about but it's annoying nonetheless. For sake of fun, why not let the people play each ONS map ONCE regardless of the outcome and have the maps change even faster??

Well that is also the problem right there
The way onslaught is set up u get 2 points for winning in normal time and 1 for doing that in overtime .
So if i lower the points needed to win to 2 (is on 3 now) a map only needs to be played once .. and this is not realy fair since the other team would have no chance in comming back .
The downside of having 3 is that on some maps the overtime kick in every round and u might end up playing a map 5 times before uactualy done with it.
but this is of course the max and it usualy doesn't get to that .. most things i see is scores like 2 -1 and then 1 team wins the next round in normal time and it's done .
I don't see any way of fixing this and not change the balance of the game.
But back on topic what would be a nice repeat limit for the maps ?

Yeah, increasing that to 2 or 3 maps would be good.
Now, the maps switch between MinusTankMeUp and Battlefront-Rilez098.....they are both really cool, but I don't want to play all the time just two maps. I think increasing it to 3 maps (perhaps fist test it and ask the users if it is ok) would be fine.
And yeah, I think sometimes 3 rounds of one map can be too much.
Perhaps there is an option so that you can vote for a new map before the match has ended?
So, if you are playing MinusTankMeUp and over 50% vote for Battlefront-Reliez098, then the map changes...? (I think it's called "Motion of no confidence" in english)

Set it to 3 for now let's see what this does
And the ingame mapvote has always been enabled .. if 51% votes for a different map the current map will be skipped.

Yeah that would not be a bad idea. I have always enjoyed playing Battle, because I know where everything is. When the map can not be played for 2 to 3 turns of another map, it would increase my, and other PLP's knowledge of other maps. Sounds good to me.

From what i've seen sofar peeps don't seem to mind and they just pick other maps .
I'll leave this like this for now and perhaps in the future up the number a bit more

From standard maps ONS-Dawn is the best. Do you have it in maplist? Anyway you should have it and also ONS-Crossfire and ONS-ArcticStronghold. Well...your server is usually full so its great occation to have ONS-Severance. With 24 players it could be a great battle

. Try it. And I'd like to play a little more on AnHonorableDeath and UrbanStrike with you. These maps are cool.
