worst maps ever

so, midway is in the ladder selection why?

20id and demise get to play midway, salerno, kharkov.

i hope we go 3 rounds so we can play the best map.

FYI: If you and 20id agree to change from midway you can. If you cant agree on a specific map I'd be glad to select one for you from a group.

I just started playing this game about a month ago (Mechwarrior player mostly). What is the big problem with Midway?

i think El Alamein is the worst map for 12 vs 12 gameplay. but just my views.

i don't really HATE any maps. My favorite though is Stalingrad. I like the close infantry combat.

midway sucks on pubs... tho I dont mind it in a match.
Fear my SUB! :P

polaris, Maher and G'inc would love if you picked them
Omaha beach and stalingrad with a side dish of berlin. Those are all wonderfull maps included in the vanilla battlefield instead of that "crappy RtR stuff"

Stalingrad and berlin are awesome, your attempt at sarcasm has failed!

I thought I remembered a rule from the Tribes 2 ladder that said something like: "the defender can choose the order of the maps played".

So if one of the first two maps sux you can swap it with the tiebreaker.

Then there is the golden rule that if both teams agree to change anything they can, just change the maps.

/me agrees with arqos...

/me goes and sobs in the corner...

i really think this ladder should go the way of the MOH ladder. 2 random maps chosen by the ladder, and then the tiebreaker selected by the defending clan. at least, that's how it was back when MOH was playable.

Or 3 maps selected by the attacker with the side selected by the defender? Extend (or remove) the time limit and change the ticket ratio. Just a thought.

no, you should play 2 sides. i say just have the system pick 2 maps not 3, let the defender pick the 3rd map, since it is their rung to defend.

I like the current system, why should a team get to pick the map they wanna play ? Let the script pick the maps... Why change things now ? Ladder has been working fine since release...

werent you just bitching about 3 rtr maps?

defenders should get something in their favor, for being the DEFENDER.

in ground combat (unless you are iraqi) they say you have the advantage 2:1.

all i'm saying is that the defending team should get to pick the 3rd round map.

system still picks 2/3 of the maps. this way, if you get salerno/husky from the system, you can let your clan play on a map you enjoy playing / think you have a good strat for.

you are the defending team. they should have to come dig you out. not meet on a level playing field.

Agreed, although its a 3:1 attackersefenders ratio in common military thinking.. :P

That's how it is in the Mechwarrior ladder, and I've found it works really well.

i was thinking along those lines but more like this. To shorten the ladder matches:

System picks randomly 3 maps.
Defenders get side choice for Map #1.
Attackers get side choice for map #2.

You play both sides for the 3rd map, and the team w/ the highest ticket total, after playing both sides, wins. More condensed that way IMO. Sometimes you may have to play Allied side on Cassino or Husky, then play an equal terms map like Gazala for your 2nd map. But what does it matter? It's a game and have some fun w/ it.

Yes i bitched about RTR maps, and how they should be fixed in the script so they dont show up as much. That has nothing to do with the way the maps are picked and how the system runs currently. I like it this way, Otherwise everytime you put two teams who are very equal in talent to face off, and it goes to third round, the defending team will perfect one map they love alot and probably come out on top every time.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man on his turf. No different then playing an away game in any sport. The defender should get an advantage somewhere, I'm pretty sure he earned it by achieving his higher ladder rank..


Oh, wait, ladders are lame, do whatever you wish there then..

the tickets are at 100%, they are "short" enough. i dunno. just a thought to jazz up the ladder, give a human touch to things for round 3. ferget it

'Midway' hands down, is the most boring map, especially on public servers. i usually fall asleep waiting for the other team to attack. havnt touched it now in over 4 months. the second it starts loading, im off to a stalingrad server for some real action. You want to give Midway more blow jobs? be my guest.
