By saying you dont care how your minimap looks in reason that you dont see people playing it, you have given up all hope that custom maps will ever have any players. When this mappack launches we will do something about the problem. The stock maps have now been played over and over a thousand times by every player and they are bound to get tired of it. A LOT of players has now the full package of weapons so there shouldnt be a lot of effort to try convince them for a a few custom nights a week. And its all up to the custom mapmakers to make the maps in a QUALITY that makes it worth wile jumping off the pointhording treadmill once in a while. That means you SHOULD care about quality of all aspects of your map.. so i must say i totally disagree with your "why give a damn" mentality..


ps:You should anyway contact me for some corrections on the map - i have PM you , but no answer :cry: add me on messenger so i can explain if you dont use the forum messaging system.

Are all the map pack maps gonna come with the auto-downloader thing? Just wondering.

If you download the map PACK once and install it, why should you need a downloader?? The mappack is downloaded and installed allready at the point you would get the downloader software with the pack if we were to include it..

Auto-downloader looks really nice, but it might cause instabilities in most systems. Moreover, it might increase the server ping amazingly if 2 or more people download the map simultaneously. That's why DICE didn't include it in the BF2. Otherwise, they would've because its definety not something hard to do.

You might ask why other games such as HL2 or CSS have this feature and BF2 don't.

1. HL2 and CSS have very small maps ranging from 2 - 5 MB whereas BF maps are over 55 MB
2. HL2 and CSS servers are not hardware and bandwidth demanding compared to BF2 servers

And as Pirelli said, if you download the map pack, there is no need for auto-downloader anyways.

ahh, now if thay had come up with some sort of P2P system built into the game to steal 1kb of upload speed from everyone who had the map who was connected to the master server then the maps would fly down in no time :)
