Map pack

Is it possible to test some random maps from Map pack such as Remagen, Operation Forager, Hurtgen Forest and so on?
I mean having a day, maybe Sunday, dedicated to it or even, from time to time to include some maps, 2 or 3, in the current map cycle to see if we´ve enough players and if its worth the try?

Re: Map pack

Would drop the player numbers on the server really bad probably..
Only the league-playing people have those maps most of the time..
I agree that it'll be cool if we had that maps on the server, but it won't be good for the server

Re: Map pack

Back in the day, Nateos public server always had all those maps mixed with vanilla ones and no loss on players. I know times are considerably different and that would possible be the case but maybe trying one or two maps just to "see" the drop and then maybe take our conclusions from it.

Also have download section here for the maps and warn with a ingame command of the server link to get them

Re: Map pack

I like this idea, but I think its too early to add some custom maps.

Re: Map pack

Qlimax is right.
Adding custom maps even only for one night will kill the server for sure because 70% of the players doesn't have those maps and neither will they take the effort to go to a website to download it.

Re: Map pack

It's a good idea, but the custom maps have to be selected beforehand and modded to account for a higher number of players than they were originally designed and also place anti-basecamp system. Then, to get things right announce to download the custom maps pack some weeks before they are run.
I had thought before to run a separate server with exclusively custom maps, like BF1942.ru has.

Re: Map pack

what about opening server in Russia ?

i mean there are alot of russians on SiMPLE, i think russian server could get some people from other russian servers, but also, many people that might not play on server in France..

Re: Map pack

A russian server could get some more stupid players without any game experience.
And barely knowledge in english language to understand our rules.

Re: Map pack

Creating a server in Russia is out of the question, mainly because there are plenty of good BF1942 russian servers.
