Let's choose (again) the map!

[Mark[KTP]]

Hi everyone!
As I remember, long time ago after the president die and no vice is available or the president win there were the possibility to choose the next map.
Every player was allowed to indicate their vote for the next map from a menu.
The map with most votes would be selected.
For some reason they removed this cool featured that allowed the community to choose the next battle ground.
How about putting it back?

[Ege]

As far as I know that feature was removed because most of the people wasn't voting consciously and skipping the voting screen by pressing 'Enter' button which made them vote the map on the top of the list. So most of the time (if not everytime) it was the top one which gets chosen. It is kinda same as having random maps like we do right now. I don't see anything bad in having it back though.

Cool feature? It was pointless. The first map on the list always won, no one really cared, they'd just press enter to get rid of the dialog box.
Why risk wasting time coding such feature?

Just put on first position "random" button or nothing.
Let presi (or presi and his team) choose next map if he win.
Let terror that killed presi choose map (or his team).
Let the player with the highest map score choose (kill presi - 10 pts, kill sec - 2 pts, kill vp - 5 pts etc).

u know what will happen ? NSA all the way ( happen in the past in 10 maps people play , u get like 6 times NSA 1 SF , 1LS 1WV and if no mistake u could get by luck red country after play all day )

Sounds good too, except for the last line.

i support this too, not the last one though.

[Faro0s]

Negative.

This is pointless, the first map in the menu will be loaded most if the time as they skip it by pressing ENTER.
But if you ask my opinion in case of choosing maps, I would always vote for NSA so no.

Just put "Random" at the top of the list and do not include the previous two maps

Which will mean things will stay exactly the same in a scenario where people still press ENTER to get rid of the dialog.

[Altus_Demens]

I don't like this idea, -1.

But I'd suggest changing the probability distribution of map picking to uneven. For example:

• If there was a country map (WW, RC or FC), the next one will be:
• City map (3): 20%;
• NSA (1): 16%;
• Country map (2): 12%.
• If there was a city map (LS, SF or LV), the next one will be:
• City map (2): 15%;
• NSA (1): 16%;
• Country map (3): 18%.
• If there was NSA, the next one will be:
• City map (3): 18%;
• Country map (3): 15.(3)%.

People tend to like the city maps more than others, so why not to let them to be picked more frequently?

You don't probably get what I said.

It means that  if a player presses ENTER, the system itself will select RANDOM map in the list. So it does not only selects the one on top

There was no particular order in map voting screen, they were listed randomly. So it is kinda the same, you just know which map will be chosen while voting

Why not ? It's good idea too

I like your idea, Altus. Question is whether it's worth the time scripting it since it's pretty complicated (Tell me if I'm wrong)
