Ghozt. I have no problem with changing the map cycle. in the current cycle every map is played 3 times once for each of these game type. conquest 1, rush 2, and TDM 1.

I may be alone with this, but is it reasonable to say some maps play different game types better than others?

Personally I find most Conquest and TDM games frustrating and nonsensical. Partially why I dont play to often, seems like I join during the TDM/Conquest section of the cycle.

Would it be worth discussing what maps play said game types the best and cater the cycle to fit those needs? (I havent played enough to offer a detailed suggestion as to what game type for what map. But im of the opinion there are some maps that cater to different game types, much like BC2.)

Any thoughts.

Excellent, that said does anyone have any suggestions for a map cycle? Possible your favorite map and game mode combination?

here is a list of all the maps: http://bf3blog.com/battlefield-3-maps/

Here are some of my likes:
Metro = Rush

Operation Firestorm = Conquest or Rush

Grand Bazaar = Conquest or Rush

Wake Island = Rush

Indeed Dank, Ditto on those rush maps. Metro is a great map for rush, i love playing the server that does metro all day. I would suggest even a day specific to that map, call it "Metro Mondays." Just a suggestion, your doing a fine job at running the server Sasq.

Wow, you have to know the map number and not the name? Where's the translation at?
Also, I know you've paid for 64 slot server for a year, but to me 64 on most maps especially the smaller ones is too much, too chaotic. So maybe next lease, I think 48 is about max.
But great job at running it! And thanks!

I saw some players wondering why we went from playing conquest then to tdm, they were puzzled..

I personally like Conquest large maps, but dont want it specifically catered to me. I would think to take out tdm altogether and just play that when a large group of us FSK & friends are on.

Conquest large works for the larger maps such as btk, caspian border, etc.

also lowering the vehicle respawn times seems to be better.. alot of the servers that are full 24/7 have that lowered to 10-50% and even 0 on some servers.
