I’ve seen this in black ops. On dice servers, this would be a welcomed feature where players could vote for the next map the server runs.
I agree that it would be nice, and practical, to have an official map vote function built into the game, so that the chat-box doesn’t have to be used to conduct votes.
It’d be nice on Official servers, but in the end it should go through all maps in its rotation; voting would just change the order of one “cycle”.
Please do not add any cod features to the game.
This feature was already done in bf3 if I remember correctly and I enjoyed it. If I’m wrong, add it! Playing maps in the same cycle is pretty lame. Id like some say on somthing I’m going to spend the next 30min on.
Must’ve been 3rd party server script on PC.
Are we talking voting for the next map to be in the rotation while rotating through all the maps. Such as a multiple choice option of the remaining maps that have not yet been played?
Or are we talking about being able to vote on replaying the map that was just played?
dear god no.
this does not work in COD.
people vote for the same maps all day which will make things quite boring.
if i want to play the same map, i simply look for a 24/7 server.
problem is battlefield 1 runs on dedicated servers and the owners the people who rented those servers choose map rotations that they want and they choose it in the order that they want. it would ruin the battlefield servers that run the same map every other game because people could just vote for the map that was supposed to play every other game, and that would just turn that good idea of a server into a 24/7 server. so it should either only be on ea and dice run server and not servers owned by the community or leave it up to the server owner. but it would only affect consoles as pc has a server plugin that allows people to vote on maps.
This is what I was afraid of, and why I asked what I did.
I’m not a fan of map vote on dice servers. But absolutely no way should map vote be allowed on private servers, unless the server owner decides to “turn on that option” if it were available. It’s his server that he pays for. He gets to decide the rotation, or to turn on or off map vote.
in COD its the same 2 to 3 maps all day lol.
i had games where people voted for the same map more then 5 times in a row…
however im actually curious how this would work on 64 player servers tbh lol.
might lead to different voting behaviour.
That’s what I was afraid of, the same maps over and over. My opinion is that if you want the same couple maps over and over, find a server that’s running them. It shouldn’t be too hard to do
No no and no please no.
Available on PC servers - kinda nice sometimes if they have a set of maps no one wants to play etc. But can be a pain sometimes as well.
Doesn’t have to behave exactly the same as COD. Allow back to back’s and prompt a complete set of different maps afterward etc…
They do need to allow mixed DLC rotations. If EA hasn’t listened to all of the requests to make rental servers more customizable and do so, then they need boots in their .
Some days I only want to play the maps I don’t usually play. If they had this and and I joined a server looking forward to the next map, then a bunch of berts all vote a map, or vote to skip next map just to speed up the rotation to they get back to thier fav I’d be pretty annoyed.
So yeah, it’s already been said, it’ll be the same maps over and over. That’s why they have private servers, so you get to play the rotation you want
There could easily be a way to have the script remove potential maps from the pool of choices that have already been played so that it doesn’t become a 24/7 server. For example, a map needs to have been played 2-3 games ago for it to be eligible again for voting. Server admins could set the pool parameters how they see fit. Although it would be nice, I highly doubt you’d see this on console. Server customization on console have been notoriously horrendous for some time now.
So every 2-3 games you end up playing the same 2-3 maps? Just find a server that rotates the maps you like.
