odin's has a good rotation though, i just wish they'd take out 3 variations of maps (normal, league, grens) so people cant vote for them in a row, and a couple of gimmick maps that people all vote for and then leave (push, murderball)

It is easy to set up a WELL 24/7 SERVER NO BOTS FAST DOWNLOADS server, but it is not easy to set up a server with a mix of official and community maps and a good map rotation.

I think that is a mistake. I am taking NOTHING away from community maps, as I've had a chance to run around on some of them in HL2

M. But completely cutting out "official" maps is outright stupid. At least have them available as a votable option, if nothing else.

After all, and especially at the launch, there won't be a ton of community maps available. See which of the community maps are popular, and which of the dev maps are popular.

sure, there will be plenty of communtiy maps that will be out as soon as they get the ff stuff.

Nothing wrong with a custom-only server, it probably just won't get a lot of playtime in the early going.

Mneh, I do not care about having a boatload of people in my server or anything like that. I will make playin' on my server a unique experience and just build up a strong community.

I still say you should have the main maps as votable options. I enjoy playing TFC on Chips Funhouse.....but they are pretty much custom maps only. I hit some other servers when I see Rock2, or CZ2, or even Hunted as the current map.
