There are a great deal of not-so-popular maps in zdctf1/2/3, zductf, 32in24 and so on. Of course new mapsets help, but what would kill this idea is the pickers of the schedule overanalyzing maps that get picked. It would be nice to have some maps in there that make people go &#039;what is this?&#039;, and having never played some maps before or not very often, makes competitive play very unpredictable and exciting.<br /><br />[quote author=LordBritish link=topic=178.msg1603#msg1603 date=1267322547]Fast, the angle I was taking was the players select the maps that are played each year, and that a map can&#039;t be picked two years in a row.&nbsp; It wouldn&#039;t be different maps for every team during the same week (although that would make practice a lot more fun), but the players would have more input on the &quot;fixed-type&quot; schedule like we use currently.[/quote]<br /><br />The map not being used two years in a row is really good. I think this should be implemented no matter what happens.
