They Randomized the map selection? : Crysis

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:22 am

Alright just tested it out, first two maps that came up for me were City Hall and Sanctuary!

After playing a few more matches, it's safe to say that randomization of map rotation is confirmed! Thanks Crytek! Now get to work on improving the Net Code of your game!!!!

EDIT: Upon even more games played, it seems they just swapped maps around. So now instead of Skyline - Terminal you have Lighthouse - Skyline, City Hall - Sanctuary, etc. Oh well better than nothing I suppose.

I think it's set rotation dude, I always see the same maps. Impact and Wall Street and so on.

No quit random

I could be wrong someone confirm

Confirmed?

Walka,
Right it's not a "random order" still. They only changed the map pairings, but once you play through a few matches and the lobby resets(grr) you start with the same "new" pair all over.

So ya at least they did something at this point, if they could make the order and pairing random then we would be set.

I don't have the DLC and I was noticing this a few days again. I managed to get Pier 17 paired with Wall Street and was confused. I've also noticed Skyline paired with Impact instead of Terminal. They must have either fixed it a little bit or just manually changed it so we'd stop complaining for a few days until we realized it still wasn't random.

stab,
ya hopefully they continue to work with the maps order/pairing. this shows a patch is not needed to do this so it should not be too difficult.

Lol! most likely this, but any change is better than none at all!

Random set would be soo awesome, or at least one map is set and the other map is random, that would be perfect

indeed, 1 map random/1 map set or even 1 map set/1 map set plus random option. only thing is we have to use the bumpers to select a map so I guess only 2 choices work, lol. anyway, having RANDOM somewhere would be sweet.

Amen

off subject they need to shorten the play llist! too many and not enough players,

I have been saying this all along. It is like playing without the Nano Suits. WTH! Killing them without the Nanosuit, sounds like they still have it on. They have more Playlist than COD and Battlefield Bad Company put together. If it is your first time working with multiple Platforms Crytek, you need to listen to the community.

Remove playlists no one plays on

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 2:01 pm

From an advertisemant stand point, they can't remove the playlists that came with the game. It says on the box 6 game modes, you take some away, and now you have false advertising.

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 12:25 am

I agree. Shrink the playlist. Stop disappointing players that think they could play them when they are empty.

Remove the Pros & class gameplay. and fit on a type of mosh pit

I thought the Onslaught they added to the Map Pack made more sence. If they want those game modes to exist, put them in a mosh pit.

none DLC

I actually think it's better this way since i can choose exactly what i want to play.
Only bad thing is that it's hard to find players in some playlists.

Hey guys,

This has been a step towards getting our randomisation settings online. The playlists were manually mixed around to keep things fresh so that we weren't always playing on the same few maps. The automated randomisation system should be online pretty soon once we've gathered some more data and done some final tweeks.

Cheers!

» Thu Dec 31, 2009 11:09 am

Hi are you going to combine the DLC maps with the original at some point? Also, since you guys are working on the map rotation behind the scenes, does that explain the "kicking us out' of lobbies?

Thanks in advance...as randomization would be optimal.

Great news!

Hopefully this will silence the people that think we have been 'abandoned'!

Awesome thanks for the good news brother

I wish they would add a mode like combat missions in Medal of Honor. The playlists they have already are great. I am looking forward to ranking up and being able to play assault among others. It sounds kinda like the missions mode in MOH.

I think we'll hear something from Adam again
