I know most of you have your favorite maps on the Servers ,I do too ,but why do we play the same maps over and over again every night ?
Let's be adventurous for a change and try something different ,you never know you might find a new favorite map.
There is a big choice of maps to choose from and I or Tim wouldn't have given them hard drive space if we didn't think they were worthy of at  least more than a few rounds of Freon ,TAM etc ,before either people mass spec or midgame mapvote to get their DeckCampGrendel fix .
Please be mature and try something different for a change ,we don't all want "Groundhog Day" .
If there are any maps you would consider fun to play ,please post in the UT2004 Map Request Board . and we will look at the maps and decide if they are worthy .

  Yes I agree, all the maps on the servers have been tested by us for suitability for the game types available on the servers. If you give them a whirl I think you will discover some outstanding maps that will become your new favourites.

On Monday I changed the map repeat setting on AUDK to 6. This means a map will be unavailable for voting again for 6 games. Hopefully this will at least force 1 or 2 different maps in every 6 games as the repetitive culprits number about 4.

We don't want to remove the repetitive maps because they are good and people like them, but variety is the spice of life

Setting the map cycle to 6 is a good idea but some of those maps are really crappy Where would one go to complain about lesser suited maps on the server?
I think one of the big reasons for people to not vote for new maps is that they just see a new map name in the voting menu as a 80% chance of ending up playing a crappy map.

I love to try new maps but please don't force me to play 15 rounds in a useless one

There are those standard maps that everyone likes, and they're constantly being played because people feel they know them so well, and hence perform better... and that's what you want, right? To perform to your full potential. I don't mind playing unknown maps, but I guess it's the possibility of a map being dull and boring that you don't wanna vote for it, and rather go for the ol' trusty ones.
