Wow, it's a bummer how some maps totally get neglected. Are there any populated servers that still rotate ALL of the maps?

Re: Maps popularity analysis with tables (very bored and annoyed)

Players migrate towards their preferred servers and maps based on vehicles and style of play. I've always look at it this way:

- Groundpounders will favor servers with heavy city map rotations
- Air whores will favor servers with heavy air map rotations
- A significant portion of BF2 players quite literally suck in air vehicles

- Air whores prefer Daqing, Dalian, Dragon and Kubra
- Ground whores prefer Karkand, Jalalalalalalalalalalabad and Sharqi


These results aren't surprising, but I commend you on your work. Nicely done :)

Good contribution, Diane.

ITs ****ing retarded that Karkand is more popular than Mashturr when anyone who has played Mash KNOWS it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better.

Well I have played both and I dont agree with you. Stop complaining Dairuka

You have no idea how hard it was to get the time in Daqing Oilfields that I have now.

It's my favorite map, and... I've given up on it.

If you really like Daqing you can find one of those eight. If you are willing to give it up so easily dont blame it (like you have in that flammatory thread about Statpadding, Io, and Karkand) on people who enjoy a different map...

Fresh table for ya. I've tweaked it a little bit so it gives more useful (and easier to see) information:



Now you see Sharqi + Karkand + Jalalabad = 55.1% of the players.

I think there is not much I can do, besides using this to make life easier here.
Geez, spending a little time (less than 2 hours) it's possible to make a server browser sooo much better than BF2's. Lazy *** EA/Dice.

Like I said bro, most people can't use air vehicles properly so rather than try to contend with them, they concentrate on ground maps: it eliminates a very annoying "dimension" so they can focus on the simpler stuff.

Re: Maps popularity analysis with tables (very bored and annoyed)

The problem with Songhua is that it fails to attract the common "types".
Armor whores don't like it because there is a lot of armor, so there are a lot of threats and people tend to choose the AT kit due to massive armor presence.
Attack choppers / Jets don't exist, so the bunch of airwhores don't like it as well.
Groundpounders don't like it because it is too big for the usual walking, grenade spamming, reviving routine and too much armor.

Before the BH nerf some people still played it because you could get insane scores with the BH, but now it just a forgotten map.

Mashtuur lost a bunch of BH whores too after the nerf. But it still a great map and not worse than Karkand. I used to play Mashtuur 24/7 and it was a lot of fun to kill BH whores (I stayed as MEC, and spent a lot of time doing kamikaze with the Mi-17).

EDIT: This is my 666th post.

Dont mess with the grass

And I still think SAK is an overrated piece of crap.

Well, i'm glad I don't have any air maps. There is too many idiot KIDS who kill for jets/helis...makes my job admining the server a lot easier.

Re: Maps popularity analysis with tables (very bored and annoyed)

I don't play maps with air assets because they are unbalanced. If your team doesn't have a pilot to counter with, then every round is one big air rape. No knock against those who can fly, its a skill like anything else!! Trust me, I can't and had that fact shown to me several times by those that visit this board. LOL Since I can't counter them from the ground, surface to air is $hit, I avoid them by playing maps without them. Just my preference.

Yet another thread that is devolving into an IO vs. Non-IO argument...
