BF42 - ALB#2 MAPS

[[TLB]opus]

This poll is about the Lazy bastard's famous battlefield 1942 server "ALB#2".

Over the years ALB#2 has become one of the favorite battlegrounds for '42 gamers.

This is partly due to our hardworking admin crew, our down to earth attitude, and a decent set of rules that insures a fair and good game for everybody.
But one of the main reasons it has done so well, is because of YOU!

YOU the "pubbies",who have played with us for years- Shown your support.
We want to keep it that way, and that is why we are making this poll.

We think it's necessary to make some changes, to keep the server up to date with the player's demands.
Therefore we would like you to take a look at our current maps, and vote for your favorite ones. This will help us build a better map setup and rotation, and hopefully maintain the great support from all of you in the future.

After the poll is done, we will review the votes and seperate the good from bad.

So please have a look and give us your vote! You may suggest your own maps ( not on the list ), and share input, idea's etc.

NOTE! - Battleaxe is the starting map on the rotation, you may post your ideal set of rotation with TOP map being the starting.

I picked all the maps where I can beat Opus because, really, that's the important thing!

[[TLB]opus]

So that mean's you didn't pick any maps ... ? :P

[jeansy]

ROFL! Well played, sir!

I would've voted for Omaha too if someone would mod out the axis tanks completely.

[joe_american]

I play so rarely that I would vote for all of them. Are you not able to track which maps get the most players versus the ones where everyone drops (outside of server crashes of course)? I don't care what map I play as long as it is full of people trying to catch my grenades.

Do you guys have a night where you set up the other server to play different maps? Would be nice to advertise a night of the week to play some of the other maps or even custom ones.

At a minimum EA should release another patch essentially giving everyone RtR, SW and the Map Pack winners. That would bring some interest back I think.

[NattyICE]

Hello,

I'm not sure what is possible in terms of modding maps, but I'd like to suggest turning the battle of Britain map into "operation sea lion"- (the german planned invasion of Britain). Basically adding some LCs at the german uncap, removing some planes and adding some "cappable" flags to the british side???

[[TLB]opus]

Yes we can track the map popularity Joe, but we also need the input of our players.
THEY are the ones playing there, and so its very valuable information.

Thanks to all who has voted, and commented so far! But we need more !
Don't be shy ;)

[[TLB]CANNONBALL]

I think regardless of how the votes go, we should try and keep things interesting by alternating the type of maps.

By that I mean large maps should be followed up by small ones and so on.

And to keep some variety both visually and with the type of game play, follow up a desert map with an aquatic map or something with more vegetation (ie: grass, trees...) Just a simple change like that can stimulate much more interest in sticking around.

As always, one of the LEAST favorite maps generally is one of my personal favorites.

Coral Sea forever. :(

[[TLB]And how]

I'm with Wu here. Mod out the axis tanks, and I would suggest a second hanamag.

[[TLB-HC]Pappy_Boyington]

That would be an interesting Omaha, but wouldn't it be too easy for the allies? Considering they'd still have the ship, arty, tank and jeep? Maybe not if properly defended by engineers.

[[TLB]Vazkora]

Already properly defended by engineers, IMO.

[[TLB]MrBlotto]

Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!

Not here

I suggest modding Aberdeen so the mains are not cappable.

[Sir_Yawnsalot]

I suggest modding Aberdeen so the mains are not cappable.

+1

I also think we should take off Omaha completely. It's nothing but a bunch of Axis gay-packing the top of the slope. There's no flying, no tanking, no infantry.

The rest of the maps already in the rotation are pretty good. El Alamein gets a little boring since all bf42 players consider themselves pilots. But still a good map. Same for Gazala. I think both these desert maps would be a lot more interesting if the plane respawn times could be further reduced.

[Sir_Yawnsalot]

I don't know what the current map rotation is but I think it would be better to have maps ordered in such a way that if maps like Guadal, El Al, Gazala (which are kinda slow or get one-sided) are followed by maps that are smaller and more intense (Tobruk, Berlin, Stali etc) and do not tend to get one sided (like Aberdeen).

And maps that are already out of the rotation. F'ing stay out!

Great idea, I agree 100%.

[[TLB]G_Man 1270]

Poll is closed now. Opus, what are your results to this?

We need to change the home page now also, since you can't vote any more.

[WuShock]

I do have one more suggestion. Lower the starting tickets on Guadal. That map tends to take a long time to play and I've noticed that by the end of it you usually have quite a few less players on the server.

Hi all...

There was a mod TLB had for Omaha with planes. I thought it was a blast, instead of having the whole team defending lower flag you really had to keep alot of ppl up top because of bailers.... Just a thought!!

[jeansy]

Yes, that was an excellent mod!

I know there are more than 34 A&A players on this board. This poll is still open for business.

You can make your PC run a little better and a little more stable if you take control of your windows virtual memory.Use the settings to select the minimum RAM as the number of mb you have. If you have 64mb RAM, set minimum RAM to 64mbSet the maximum RAM to a little more than diouble what RAM you haveIf you have 64mb RAM, set maximum RAM to 135... or thereaboutsIf you have more than one HDD, or if you have a partitioned HDD, make the Virtual memory reside on a disk or partition besides the OS partition.For best results, when you build you pc and install OS, make a spare partition that is the size of the maximum virtual memory you will have and select this partition to house your virtual memory.If the virtual memory never runs out os space, it wont cause problems and if you write it to another disk, your PC will a tinsy bit smoother.=Ricta=:jesus:

Thank you G., i was just on my way to band the tard.

What in the Hell does that have to do with BF1942 maps? Or did I miss a post that said "Hey, why don't you post random crap in this thread named BF42 -ALB#2 MAPS" ?

In Zimbabwe, you can get a monkey meat sandwich for less than a dollar :neutral:

[SQUEAK]

In Zimbabwe you can buy a whole friggin' family of monkeys for less than a dollar, and still get a loaf with the change. The exchange rate is, what can only be described as, astounding.

[Upyerkilt]

I like the maps where there is only one main base...example...Caen,Tobruk,Bulge,Battle of Britain,Berlin or maps with no mains at all...example...Aberdeen,Wake,Iwo Jima,Phillipians,Midway,Coral Sea,Omaha Beach.
I feel that the maps with 2 mains can drag on especially if there is 15 mins left and your team has bled too much to make a come back.
If I had to vote for a map with 2 mains I would pick Kharkov and Gazalla.
