As you can see it's mostly small maps, what I believe the least popular maps are DM3, E1M2, E3M1, A2 and SPINEV2. I'll add those new maps soon, though I'll keep forgetting their names.

Agree with the post above.
Plus:

- q3dm14 by anni should also be there (when finished).
- cmt2.bsp seems small and nice for ffa
- Twierdza.bps (hot stuff!)

I like Tiddles' maps, especially dark-storm-ffa.bsp and head-shot.bsp. Afaik E4M3 is usually skipped. Spinev2 seems to be popular, it tends to be crowded. DM3 is somewhat unpopular, partly because of the discharging and partly because some players are -way- ahead of others here (of course). A2 has a lot of spawnfrags, but hey, so does DM4.

Don't think it is worth having dm3 there - 4on4 scene is so much distant from newbies, you need MUCH more to learn than just play this map a little in FFA. I think it is not worth the effort, even tho I appreciate the idea.

Can you give me a link of the new finished maps.

The Tiddles maps are pretty popular afaik.

I'll ponder a bit more over dm3/e1m2 as it might be so indeed (from rookie to 4on4)

My advice:

-Use maps that are played in tournaments as it helps to promote knowledge. So dm2/3/4/6 and e1m2 are good for players that are learning the game, and also custom maps that are to be used in leagues (no idea about EQL, still waiting for past 4 months to hear the map pool) are good, cmt1b/3/4 would be nice to include.
-SpineV2 is not unpopular. A2 isn't either HOWEVER it gets get a bit lame with >10 players, too much spam and quad lg.
-Dark-storm-ffa does not strike me as a good map. Pent room has RA and health packs and no spawn points so is easily defendable, you often get some guy camping up there. The general architecture feels a bit awkward too.
-Skull doesn't make a good ffa map IMO, probably fine for duel though which is what it was built for
-Hook is just terrible, the only 'good' thing it has going for it is the somewhat unusual architecture, a bit more vertical than most maps
-e4m3 is the best episode map for FFA (5 quads, 4 rings, 2x rl, 2xlg, what's not to like? Well other than the fact there's only 4 spawns, lol).
-ztndm6 and punish would make nice additions

pkeg is the most awesome small map there is
Ultra action.

Btw I think with those size maps even 12 players is too much.. 8-10 is max imo. and with a round robin system its better with lower max limit so the 2nd server actually will get filled up also.
ready!

my favourite big maps: A2, spinev2, castle, efdm8, cmt4, dark-storm, fav small maps: pkeg1!!!, schloss. Ofc i like all official maps, but with 4-6 players. I hate ultrav mostly, its a camper-spammer shithole, no hp you can get there. Skull is a good duel map, but dont like in ffa too. Cmt1b, cmt3 could be a good ffa map, thats where they belongs to BTW thx for running this great server Flepser, and Bigfoot(still banned?.... shame that they banned the most popular ffa server's admin for personal reasons...). I think a vote would be a great help to Flepser, so he can easier find out what maps the community want to play in ffa. Offtopic: there is a fag who use aimbot and plays a lot on x4ffa lately, pls ban him, and pls do something with hater spammers like Cuntor or (untor, i think he belongs to world of warcraft, not qw

'newbies' .... I dont' think that's the case. There are simply people who like FFA and simply don't have an interest in team games, incl. myself. I've been playing qw again, on and off, since 2005/2006 and I also played Q1 back in 96/97 until...who knows. I'm certainly not new to Quake. But basicly, I like to be able to play INSTANTLY whenever I feel like it. This is usually possible in FFA, but not in 4on4. I've specced 4on4 sometimes to see what it is about and it takes ages to get 8 ppl into a game and then get them all to press ready. I could surely take a dump in that time.
On top of that, a lot of those guys that play 4on4 are the die-hards and gear-freaks that go through absolutely ridiculous efforts to have the very best settings they can possibly get and therefore crazy advantages over people who don't do that. In FFA u got a more fair mix of people, with some exceptions (when those div0's come to xs4all ffa 'cause they can't get a 4on4 game starting). On top of that (I can keep on going forever really) I also don't like to read thousands of team-msg's when I'm playing (like they have in 4on4). In fact, I turn OFF msg's completely in FFA.

Currently, I'm not playing QW (although until recently I was), so I don't care about any map decisions (which always happen just when I'm comfortable with the current pool btw), but this idea of people being 'newbie' just because they don't play 4on4 is really getting old. You just can't blame people for just wanting to play ffa. And it's true: DM3 on a full ffa server is no fun because of those discharges, as has been stated.

Oh and a2 and spinev2 ARE popular maps. And have always been in ffa.

I think the point is that many new players have xs4all as the entry point to QW and gets too trashed on dm3 that its not even worth keeping the map in the rotation even if the intention is to make new players learn the classic maps of quake.

They'll get even more trashed if they try to learn it in 4on4 (dmm1) though.
I learnt to play dm3 on ffa servers (Barrysworld rotation was dm2-dm3-ukcldm2-e4m3-ztndm3, can't remember exact order).

But they get thrashed on xs4all ffa anyway. I am bad in timing quad, usually, 'cause I'm often tired when I play QW. But even then, new players or high pingers get thrashed anyway, by myself and others. On all maps. That's why I always recommend them to at least be able to deal with a full server of Frogbots lvl5 FFA (yes that sounds funny), and then move it up to lvl 10. After that, you can have much more fun on xs4all ffa as well.

But... a bit of a problem, still, is new players from STEAM. They don't know anything because there's, apparently, not much info in that community. They don't know that there's difference between Quake and QW and often try xs4all FFA with their DarkPlaces client, which has been thrown into the Quake folder on their drives. So they don't keep Quake separate from QW. So I always have explain everything and it's getting tedious. I'm not part of the Steam community although I think I do have a username, but there should be a sticky post there. I just tried to log in at Steam, but I get the message 'Please verify your humanity by re-entering the characters below.'............ But I don't see any characters. I'm not gonna sign up again since I never use Steam anyway.
Just a post including a written re-direction to this website is all that is needed really...

[edit]OK, I see there's a lot of info in that topic already. But it's not stressed enough to keep Netquake and QW separate[/edit]

Yeah I know what you mean...I'd rather leave it on all the time but too many people complain and leave.

Looks like I need to regulate it...

IMO the main goal should be not to chase off any of the real regulars. It's all nice and good to have many suggestions what might improve the map rotation and the fun of oneself, but it's not really helpful to have an improved ffa server in theory, with many of the old regulars not joining and the initiators of the changes not playing regularly.

In my opinion, you are trying to achieve so many different things that probably aren't to satisfy "everyone" because that simply is impossible. In German, we have word for that; the "Eierlegendewollmilchsau" is that:

I play a lot of ffa and i think the most popular maps are:

pkeg1
ztndm3
spinev2
aerowalk
a2
hook
ultrav
castle
skull
dark-terror-ffa

Might have left one out but these maps all have that fun "die every 5 seconds" action and there aren't as many /quits. The other maps could be rotated more often imo.
