I was wondering what everyone thought would be a solid ctf map cycle and which maps to avoid. Thanks

Depends on the server's player capacity? How many playerslots do you have open?

You dont want to be playing turnpike/abbey etc when there's 20+ people on the server.

I wanted to put crossing in there somewhere but couldn't decide which column. Its big, so it should fit the larger servers, but the flags are too close to the spawns for it to be playable with big numbers.

reg maps: abbey, casa, uptown, kingdom, sanc, abbeyctf, turnpike (but its overplayed and im sick of it), subway (my fav, but almost impossible to cap in a large server)

custom maps/old maps: ut_berch, ut4_desolate_rc1, ut_txantrea_beta2, ut_jihad, ut_stone_ville, ut4_boxtrot_x2, ut4_hexagon_v1, ut4_honeyride_b2, ut4_asylum_b1

add them together and you have my dream cycle. however there is a problem, people in this game seem to only want to play on an all reg map server or all custom map server. if you do all reg maps with maybe 1 or 2 quality custom maps in there it often works. but people are like sheep, you have to make a starting cycle to get players and keep them, then once your server has a following and is almost always full you can put whatever map you want in and the sheeple will stay with the flock.

Thanks Lee nice advice

np, i find that smaller maps are better to start with so the few people that first join arent running in circles looking for each other. not all of the maps i listed are great for a starting cycle. people dont seem to like abbeyctf, i love it so i had to add it. also, nulls signature reminded me that i forgot to say mandolin  which is another map people dont care for as you can see by the vote, which also validates my comment on turnpike lol . i think mandolin is a good map, but it seems like people hold grudges against maps in this game and can not let themselves have fun on them anymore, which is a shame.
