    i dont understand what this is for...
    Way to be specific
    This is for 7v7 TDM only guys. I edited Vibe's post to make that clear. So for the misunderstanding.

    The first vote regarding which maps to use for the RNG and Tank .... Each question includes the map Cassino. Would that mean that we could possibly get Cassino for both maps?
    No it will be removed from the run & gun list.

    Come on guys you asked for the bonus pak maps to be added to the map rotation. We listened and now we have a vote up for this yet no one is voting for it. If the interest is not there it doesnt happen. Please take the time to vote for your Ladder. Thanks.

    Take this constructivly, but I don't think the vote is quite what alot of us were looking for. Plus you made in founders only.

    Seemed to me that many were hoping to vote on what maps were added or deleted.

    Instead we got a map rotation to vote on that was shaped by a vocal few. Worse yet, if we don't approve whats put in front of us then we are stuck with what we had.

    I can appreciate your point of view, I also did not see you post about this till now. I tried my best to accomadate all those who voiced an opinion. I based what you see now on those who voiced their concerns. Seeing how you never voiced your opinion unfortunately I can not add it now. I have made the vote founders only to keep it fair.

    Actually I posted several times in the original threads that were requesting that maps be added to the rotations...and had quite a bit of agreement in how I was suggesting it might be accomplished

    1. put up a vote on each ladder with 5-8 new maps

    2. people can vote for the individual ones they want added to their particular ladder as well as existing maps they would like to see removed

    3. majority rules

    4. repeat every 3 months



    I only suggested that methodology because it had worked pretty well for other games I have played in the past (mostly Tribes 2).

    Yes I did miss the discussion of maps in the map pack, which is too bad or I would have reiterated my suggestions. No worries, I'm sure the current set up will get something accomplished, which is always better than nothing.

    You might consider my suggestion in the future since it would eliminate thr problem of figureing out what maps to add and subtract from the map pack.


    What you see now is based on what the community suggested. I tried to get everyone's input. I even mailed all the founders for the 7v7 to encourage them to post their opinions. I tried my best to make this what the community wants instead of what I thought was best. I can only work with what is given to me.

    No need to get defensive...its just some input...take it and use in the future maybe

    Not defensive, telling you how it is. They are two different things!

    quick question.... how many votes does it take to apply this???? i ask because i noticed that only 9 founders have voted (not even 1/3 of the ladder)
    A mass email went out to all Founders of TDM. Majority wins.

    I think it is crucial to have 1 RNG map and 1 tank map. I am not going to name names, and I know it is part of the game, but camping in tanks and on the 88 the whole game definitely makes it no fun, and really pisses people off and turns them away from playing on the ladder.

    I think on the run and gun map it should be made that it is mandatory to run and gun, none of this panzy sitting in a corner or deadend waiting for the other people to come, that is for people with no skill. Its called RNG for a reason.

    You also need to get the point across of no shooting or moving tanks around before the match starts, the last few teams we have played have not been following the new rules.

    Also you need to remind people that it is not professional to be talking smack about how you are getting owned and laughing at them during the friggin match.

    Not possible to enforce...good idea though

    9th GD owns up to the tank and 88 camping. It is called using the weapons provided in game and using strategy to make the best use of these tools.

    As for the trash talking....INC do you want me to post screenshots of your teams comments from last night? Thought not.

    What I see is a game where some teams use all the tools provided and others that want stock CoD. TWL has Stock CoD ladders that are free to join.

    I personally think one RNG map and one tank map are a good balance and gives a good idea of how good a team really is.

    As for camping in a RNG map......ever heard of an ambush?? You know that little thing were an unsuspecting foe walks into your killzone and you surprise him with a hail of bullets? A strategy that goes back to the dawn of time.

    I only post my comments because I see that some people want to make the game more advantagous to their team and their playing style. What TWL provides us is a forum to challenge other teams and compete in a friendly manner. They have a thankless job and when they ask for assistance from the participants it is lacluster at most. Us, the public at large, tend to cry about rules, tactics and how the ladders are being run. TWL staff is not paid nor endorsed. Give them a hand when they need it and if you feel a ladder is broken, make constructive comments about how to best fix the problem. Don't be part of it ok.

    Come on guys, so many people have voiced their concern one way or another, yet I have only 2 votes on one of the votes up for TDM. The other 2 vote polls only have one vote! Why is that? Make yourself be heard, go and vote. After all you guys asked for it!

    uhm according to my vote results more than that have voted(but only around 1/3 of the actual founders have voted)...... but i do agree with 9th...... it is the UO version of COD ..... my only concern is the RNG first (wonders how long it will take those clans to "CAMP" if they get up by 20?????) i have voted and still dont see why people cant accept UO for what it is but oh well!!!! thank you FAST for the time spent,we know it isnt easy!!!!!
