Hello everyone!
So recently, I have been surfing the forums, and I decided to drop into the Map Downloads and Discussions section and to check my map, Turris Tremores (Deadly Descent.) As I was surfing, I found my map, and clicked on the prefix, and literally, I saw only two maps of this category, including mine. Only two! And if I don't say so myself, to compare that to other map types, if I were to compare the amount of maps of Deadly Descent to a gametype like Battlegrounds, the ratio of DD to BG is 1:14. And this is what I mean.
We are consistently adding gametypes to this network, including the batch brought into because of the cause of the AntVenom <-> MCGN merge, but can this be a problem; bringing in a lot of gametypes. Maybe, but at the same time, no. Maybe because in order to have a good gametype foundation, we need maps, but sadly, we kind of are lacking gametypes for the ones that need it most. I mean, every gametypes have maps, but you can only play it so many times until you come on the forums and complain about the lack of maps. I did some digging and here you go, math!:
accepted | finished
Survival Games: 39 accepted | 110 finished (not including the ones in the archive)
ZedChase: 1 accepted (added, technically speaking) | 1 finished
Battlegrounds: ~3 maps | 28 finished
MCTF2: ~2-3 accepted | 3 finished
Quarter Quell: 3 accepted | 6 finished
[The Walls] (included but not sure why): 0
Deadly Descent: ~4-5 accepted | 2 finished
Rocket Rumble: ~1-3 accepted | 1 finished
Colour Zone: ~2-3 accepted | 4 finished
In Survival Games, here is the percentages of accepted maps to finished maps:
SG: ~36%
ZC: 50%
BG: 10.71%
TF2: ~67%
QQ: 50%
TW: 0%
DD: Ratio: 5:2
RR: 100% -or- 2:1 -or- 3:1
CZ: 50% -or- 75%
Now, look at these statistics of SG maps. Now, compare it to all the others. This is what might become a problem. We sometimes face towards gametypes like SG and we don't pay attention much to gametypes like Rocket Rumble.
We play it and yes, that supports it, but then, we need maps in the immediate section to make the gametype more than what it already is, and for the hopes it can get accepted and more can submit, but those maps don't, then it might raise odds of people submitting maps more.
