Do we need 4 2Fort servers?

Somewhat Threatening Sniper
Somehow 2Fort is strangely popular, personally I think its the best way to masquerade team deathmatch in an objective based game.

Maybe there are merits to the map but personally I just don't see it. Some of you might cry that team deathmatch is fine, to which I say, Its kind of boring. Then again im the kind of guy that takes a maniacal glee when I cap blitz as scout, i know that some people hate that sort of thing but I love unbalancing a team.

Perhaps we could repurpose one of the 2Fort servers or perhaps another server to run other maps?

I say we make a server with this 2fort map! Always wanted a server that ran this map 24/7. Would be awesome.


More on topic though, I do agree, 2fort servers seem to be the most popular imo. The 2fort | NY server is usually full during the afternoon. Maybe we do need another one? A custom 2fort map is pushing it though, because of lack of quickplay-using players.

Our 2fort servers are most of the time pretty full (keeping time zones in calculation). With the recent changes by Valve, chances are small we will chance still-popular servers to try out new things.

Additionally, even with the recent tweaks of Quickplay, I do believe 2fort's night version does not get connected to Quickplay. Chances are big the server will just stay empty.

I played on a 24/7 server with that map before, pretty fun map
 
We make servers with maps that are popular, to make sure they're full enough to get a profit on.
Otherwise, we'd have a bunch of empty servers with neat maps that not many players like to play 24/7
 
If what you are saying is that 2Fort is your main cash cow, then I guess that for practical reasons you need that in place in order to keep servers running.

So, perhaps its not the admins that are at fault... It might be good old bad taste at work.

Like, here is Cp_steel, its an attack defend map that has a shortcut to winning. Its nebulous with many flanking opportunities for scouts, pyros and spies. The conditions of the spawn room change for the defender rather than the attacker who instead gets more routes opened up to get to victory, with the penultimate cap pretty much blocking red off from the final cap and victory. Its a nice, living, breathing map.

Nah man, 2Fort. Narrowest map ever with a near impossible to reach intel that is a sniper haven.

There's this thing called "Contributor status". People pay money to get benefits. Skial doesn't get money from people just playing on their server.
 
So would it be fair to say that a lot of the contributors are playing on 2Fort then?

Also, how is cp_steel horrible on pub servers?

cp_steel never fills due to the f2p quickplay joiners leaving due to the map being too "confusing"

2fort on the other hand stays full most of the time. Which one would be a better choice to keep, again?

Skial runs advertisements.
 
So the 2Fort map is the most popular map seemingly.
Okay, so that does seem fair that you would use that as a good source of income.
A) Does quickplay really net that many people? (Just asking as i would like to know the mechanics of player auto-distribution)
B) I assume that the initial surge of Free to Players came in after the meet the medic video, is there such a steady flow of new players that would use quickplay? (I am also assuming more experienced players would look up the servers in lists)
 
It seems illogical to re-purpose a successful server for another map, for the only reason of doing something different.

If all the 2forts stay full most of the time, why would you want to change that? Bott constantly tries new things, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. If you have enough players come here and request a certain map, perhaps it'd be considered. But, I doubt he's going to close down a 2fort map if it's still active.
