A 24/7 xpress or flag4sky server

I think that creating a 24/7 xpress of flag4sky server would be awesome because people always tend to fill the server up whenever it's being played. Anyone agree with me?

And somehow I'm also one of the few who actually like xpress.

Can I be one of the few who don't care about xpress then?

Seriously, not a great fan of 24/7 servers personally but it does seem that either of those maps are the ones to use if you make one.

I like xpress as a 2v cap fest of just fun!

Pub might be really chaotic, but would be really fun.

flag4sky I love always...great map IMO

Yeah but are people joining because "omg someone has flag4sky up!"? If it was up 24/7, that might not always be the case.

I like Flag4sky much better than express on pubs. Express gets WAY too spammy on a full pub.

With the bases like they are, spreading the people out over four teams is way better.

xpress is great for small numbers. Hell even the odd full server spam fest is entertaining sometimes. Problem on this map are the snipers. If ever there was an easier map to snipe from...yeesh.

We'll be having a decent 2v2 - 2v3 thing going, then the next person that logs in goes snipe and ruins everything.

You don't think that 4 teams requires better coordination? Oh wait...I wasn't about killing someone on the other team carrying the flag in order to grab and cap...NEVERMIND!

How about put both into rotation? On a 24/7 server the team's scores cease to really count for anything after the same maps been on all day. Unless all the players care about are frags, you need to have an end point somewhere. 24/7 servers also seem to work really well with games that have a big fan base....something that FF sadly does not. Too much of either map will make players tired of them quickly....27/7 Dustbowl servers for TFC were cool....but I didn't play there all day....maybe 1 or 2 maps.

Even in CS I got tired of the same map for too long, and went somewhere else...even another 24/7 server running a different map.

I suggest you go for a 24/7 fun maps server, like both you mentioned, and throw some others in the mix. DM_Squeek, and any of the murderballs would go good.

Why not a four-player centric server? Murderball, squeek_dm, flag4sky, xpress, etc.

I dunno, DM_squeek just feels like a giant clusterfuck, at least with the others you still have offense and defense

It's meant for 1v1v1v1 or 2v2 max. 22 player dm_squeek is a tiny bit chaotic.
