Community Vote: Voting

[zorrodc]

So we are deciding to upgrade our voting system but I want your opinions on it. Right now it seems some really popular maps like Breeze Island are very common with our current system. Well, some suggestions popped up on modifying how the voting system works and how the maps are selected. Right now we narrowed it down to 3 styles you can decided on:

Vote to skip (server picks next at random)

Within the 5 minute lobby time, at least more than 50% will have to vote to skip. Once the time runs out, the map that is currently picked will be selected.

Vote on 5 (server picks at random 5)

Server picks on 5 random maps and you can pick the overall winner like normal. This will be nice for when we have a larger selection of maps in the future.

Vote on overall (What we have now)

The system we are now using currently where all of the maps are displayed and the top voted map will get picked.

So what are your opinions? We would like to know!

My opinion is another idea all together.
What you do is you conduct a study of what maps get voted what percentages.
(Lets say, 45% for map 4,
25%for map 1,
15% for map 2, 10% for map 3,
and 5% for map 5.)
Then, you dedicate THAT PERCENT of servers to run ONLY THAT MAP.
For instance:
45% of US servers run map 4,
25%of US servers run map 1,
15% of US servers run map 2, 10% for map 3,
and 5% of US servers run map 5
Then you order or color code them on the server list, and people can join their favorite map's server, and not have to worry!
Thanks for your time,
-Zor

Voting for the third one because I believe in fair voting, because everyone votes to 4 at their own will. I don't see the other ideas getting votes in game if as of this moment everyone votes for 4. The people that are complaining about the map are the 10% in lobby's that don't vote for 4.

Stay on topic, please.

I like the vote to skip option, however I also agree with The_Soy_Man's idea. I like the idea that you could still choose between two maps, but still have the option to skip. A perfect blend of voting systems!

I think a really good way to do it would be how it was done in CoD Black Ops: once a map has been picked for one round, it can't be picked the next time. It forces diversity.

 

[Mrgamez]

Im going for the second one

 

[TrevorBrown]

I like the first voting option the best. Whoever came up with it: You Rock. Period.

I personally hate it because since i've started playing alot i've gotten bored already again, Its map 2 every dang game, with the occasional map 1. Never map 3 or 4 for me.
