I'm in for 10/04/2016!

Sounds cool.

Why do you always put the maplist to vote, surely you have a fairly solid maplist now?

Why do you always put the maplist to vote, surely you have a fairly solid maplist now?

Maybe to give people a chance to get their favorite maps in the mappool? (:
I for one would like a cup without aerowalk for once, and I know quite alot would disagree with me on that, but still.

Yes. Would be cool to see if something funky gets in the map pool Nice to see toxicity and mint with some votes already.

My point was, surely it's about time to remove quake Live maps from the list and just populate it with Xonotic maps.

There is more then enough good quality Xonotic duel maps now.

I agree. I dunno why you want bloodrun and lostworld. These maps are kinda weird in Xonotic.

Duels not my fav mode, but i realy don't understand why hub and ztn so popular in xonotic, there is a lot of good exclusive xonotic maps which more fun to play.

@kojn - as they say, "variety is the spice of life"! The same map pool every time gets old quickly. Personally I voted for all of the good new-ish maps. I'm quite tired of watching/commentating hub matches.

some maps just stand the test of time for more than a decade. Nothing too surprising. If you set up a public vote like that, the results reflect that. I wouldn't say that xonotic maps are too much behind either. Although these are the ones that most frequently appear in tourneys(finalrage, stormkeep, silent siege etc). I guess another factor is that people just aren't confident or willing enough to try out something completely or relatively new/different, as they have little experience with that which in turn would influence their performance in the tournament.

Voted for warfare, stormkeep, silentsiege, imprisoned, downer, darkzone, cucumber 8)

some maps without nex is really wanted to these lists.

---

So voted for darkzone just for the sake of no nex. Recently played bloodrage, was a very good map. Would be a good addition imo! I know darkzone causes shivers for ppl so bloodrage would replace my vote if it was there!

LU-MI-NAR, LU-MI-NAR, LU-MI-NAR ...
come on guys give it a try

Im for pluvial actually. Its a nice tiny map :>

FE26 / Final Rage / Fuse / Luminar / Mint / Silent Siege / Stormkeep

FE26 because it's an oldie that can be quite fun.
Final Rage/Fuse/Silent/Stormkeep because they're stock maps that are suitable for duel.
Choosing Luminar because it reminds me of Roughinery from UT2k4.
And Mint is also really good fun and very diverse in it's opportunities. I'm glad it's currently leading with 13 votes.

I also want to join the movement in banning all Quake maps. Xonotic is depressed with them, and they're not particularly great for Xonotic (or even Quake) in terms of gameplay. The only Quake maps that deserve to be in any rotation are Aerowalk and Warfare, and that's because they've seen community involvement AND they're playable (unlike Bloodrun).

Agree, one of my duel map's in xonotic.

I only played Imprisoned like 3 times before, but I remember it lookong great for duel, any reason why it's not being played much?

I'm sure it would be played more if it was shoved in the map pool once in a while instead of having the community vote for the maps every time. Especially on a tournament that motivate$$ people to practice

Yeah Quake maps can gtfo imo, although I really like bloodrun, don't see why people think it's "unplayable"

Info: The poll will be closed at Saturday, 9th April 2016 0:00 CEST.

Rather than "unplayable" I think Xonotic item/weapon balance doesn't do Bloodrun much justice. It's a much better map to play on Quakeworld imo.

Poll closed.
