After the recent outage issues. The map rotation scheme seems to have changed. Now Rush map always repeat once and this has been very unpopular so people started to use "!surrender" to skip the latter one. Well, until that has been taken away.

Can we just go back to the "old" way where next map is always voted and no map repeats? I haven't seen ANYONE object to that, at least while I'm playing. Please?

It plays vanilla when there is a small pop in the server and switches to DLC + vanilla when there is higher amount of players.

I agree with this. It would be great if the map rotation system returned to how it was before. I haven't seen anyone oppose that system in the past, and personally, I thought it was perfect. Also, the !surrender and !votenext commands should come back. I understand why they were removed, but the so-called "misuse" was a result of map repetition, not because players were trolling. Before this new system, there was never any misuse of those commands. This time was different because the map repetition was annoying, and for many players, it was the only way to skip a map that had already been played, which became boring. If I remember correctly, the voting system was bugged as well.

And yes, the server may be full with 64 players, but still, only Vanilla maps are in rotation.

Yes unfortunately there were lots of people abusing the command and its not the first time. It was removed once, put back in and then abused again. Regardless of what was the reason, does not mean surrender command should abused.

I can look into the second part as to why it's playing vanilla map when its full as that should not be happening.

Rush always had a map manager in place for years, same for all maps conquest and all maps hardcore. Base maps help get traffic into the server, not everyone has DLC and traffic can be delayed if DLC is running starting with 0 players. There was a small window when DLC was running from 0 and that was not on purpose. This was related to our map list getting screwed up from 2-3 weeks of attack. Fixing over and over again forced me to just leave it with all maps.
