Adding a new map into IO Rotation

[[God]jaredmonroe]

Hello,
I just wanted to introduce myself real quick I play on this server probably more than any other server in BF2 and have been playing on it for as long as I can remember. I understand the title of this thread probably already has people either really upset or really happy. I am not trying to step on toes I just love WIH and just need another map at least on one day of the week. Call it jungle fever Tuesdays and throw in Songhua and maybe Wake.
From what I can gather I know that a new map has warranted people leaving the server and therefore dropping the rankings. I know that WIH added songhua stalemate for a while a year ago and I wanted to throw out a few suggestoins I have gotten from people.
I also wanted to say i think people may be open to this change for 2 reasons:
1) City maps are awesome but when WIH tried to bring songhua stalemate last year city maps were still kinda new and people were not bored with them yet. Now we have played the 4 maps in the rotation so much a new one will be welcomed more than it was last year.
2) I know most GOD members will fill WIH and I have been told by at least 15 members that they would not leave the server if Songhua stalemate came in the rotation.
I hope my recommendation for Jungle Tuesdays maybe considered. I think maybe once a week we could try and see if it works.
Thanks
Jared

I would agree that a new map would be nice. As much as I would like WiH to try a vanilla server again, I know that ultimately the server would probably not succeed as evidenced in the past, and that the drain of resources would simply not allow the continuation of ther server.

I would however see a new map or two in the IO server as somewhat refreshing, playing the same 4 maps over and over can get stale after an hour or two. I do my best to help populate the server when its slow, especially if its slow during any new maps. Even if the two new maps are not a sucess at least its a new thing to try for at least a short while.

The idea is not for a vanilla map but for an infantry only map. The topic came up in TS about Songhua Stalemate, and how we all love it and miss it. We reminisced for a moment about how fun it was when you guys offered it, but also how server population was an issue. After some brainstorming we pieced together a proposition for the War is Hell crew to think about.
~ It's good because not only does it satisfy a large group of your most faithful patrons, but it will also help prevent potential population crashes. I don't have time to rewrite it at the moment, so this is a copy of my post from the GoD clan forums, and the link to the thread.

~After talking to super I understand how the servers work a little better. I think they should start with something called like Jungle Fever Tuesdays, and promote it on their forums. Where on Tuesday evenings they throw Songhua into the rotation for a few hours. They can also promote it by adding a little blurb in the text box during the loading screen like join us for jungle fever Tuesdays, more info at warishellgaming.com. This way the people that want to be there can- and the people who don't can pub elsewhere that evening, which will also help prevent the numbers from crashing. They can use this as a reference and if it is successful, potentially add in a few others like 32 man wake, or dalian or what have you.

Some new maps would be a nice change of pace.

[Cheify0]

i'll play on it!!!

[melonhead2006]

This would be nice. I'll be more than happy to play on a new map.

I would be extatic to see some new maps on WiH IO. I may just pee my pants.... just a little. After playing the same city maps over and over..... ya tend to get a little bored. Another way to change it up a little would be changing the map sizes of some of the larger city maps. ie: Mashtuur, Jalalalaladingdong, and even Karkand......

[lamah]

a lil change to spice things up

yes!

[GreenBayDave]

since I basically live on the WIH IO server....and basically only played IO since it came out....I don't have my China badge or medal thingy....would be sweet to get it on WIH....plus Puffle's sig is hot

[SnaKe]

This is being discussed.

[mic12345]

Awesome! I would definitely be in for a random, everysooften, change in the map rotation. Keep it IO and I'll definitely be there!

[w4r10rd]

a 32-player size fushee pass but for 64 players may be another good choice. i realize before during the WiH vanilla days we seemed to have a server problem with the map. Dunno if this was resolved or not. I agree though Songau would be a good addition though currently. I kno it may have not been too successful before but maybe things have changed. Im all for spicing it up

[Buckski]

A change in any sort of way would be greatly appreciated--I've seen on other servers for example saturday night is io only or certain map rotations on certain nights. I would recommend a small change to keep the regulars around and possibly bring in some new blood. Just my 2 cents.

[Satanic]

I give my support for the once a week suggestion. I don't play much BF2 anymore but it would be nice to set aside a day to play with everyone for a bit.

[lamah]

i like the 32size fushe pass idea (this map is io friendlier than songua)................. bfs has the 16size one in rotation for the last year (it's a 64 player server), and i don't think it has crashed because of that

hell ya fushee pass is FUNNNN in TWL matches. Cant imagine how much hell would be going on in a 16size with 64 players. NON STOP action.

16 Player sized maps end too fast on 64 men servers. I don't think you can mess with the ticket amounts so it ends up being 300 tickets each. I remember we used to have Shonghai 16 man on the vanilla server and the rounds didn't last more than 5 minutes.

[Leadfoot]

I could also see jalalabad as a smaller map just incorporating the city as an improvement, right now that map is pretty stale because there is not much action until the USMC gets into the city. And its relatively easy for the MEC to hold them off.

[lamah]

that's about how i look at it, the fushe pass map, as an intermission game where you try to win a fast round or 2

[GreenBayDave]

I don't even remember what fushe pass looks like

[[God]jaredmonroe]

I am just looking for a change once a night that way I know God members can populate it. I know how much money goes into these servers and all and respect any decision that is made. I just know that these maps can get a little boring and it would be so awesome to have a change. thanks for listening.

[vortex19103]

a change of pace would be nice....

wake island would sure piss off the marines though, having to wait for a boat all the time...

[S.R.Heath]

Yeah, that's about the only thing I don't like about Wake, is that in IO it's boat or swim.lol. But either way I'm not leaving if either map gets added.

[Satanic]

i love wake so much

[S.R.Heath]

Wake is only good when you're China in IO, and US in Vanilla. Altho there are some times where I just go out and swim across the bay there for fun.lol

Problem! D: The smaller sized maps cap the player limit at their map size. So, on FuShe Pass 16 player (what it is now) only 14 people can join (plus the two reserve slots).

There's gotta be a way to fix this, as I've seen other servers that host smaller maps with more players. Please don't give up trying to fix it D: (REALLY want to play some of these maps with 64 people).
