    Can you please take escourt off at least one of the servers' rotation or have at least one commander only server?

    Every couple maps which compose of both infantry and commander maps escourt gets played. So in every 2-4 maps we play escourt, again and again. It's getting to be ridiculous.

    Sometimes we'll play a commander map for 5-10 minutes and then an infantry map for a half an hour and then comes escourt.

    Escourt lasts anywhere from 30 minutes minimum. To 1 hour and 30 minutes. If a player were on empires for 4 hours and they played through a four map rotation.

    The map escourt would comprise of 25%-50% of their play time. And this happens EVERY DAY. I'm sick of it personally and I just got off playing empires because both populated servers were on Escourt at the same time, just starting.

    I play Empires to play an RTS/FPS hybrid not a stunted Counter-Strike infantry combat game. Not to mention the 2.2 patch completely killing any sense of enjoyment playing infantry classes.

    So, I would say that because of escourt and other infantry combat maps, I'm playing commander maps 1/4 the time on empires. I'm sick of it and I'm sure alot of others are too. Please stop playing the same horrid map over and over!

    lol escort was fun last match. We 0 tickets at the 3rd flag bag as NF, but built a turret farm and sticky killed their last tank and fell back. BE kept spawning forwards only to be killed by no less than 5 lvl 3 turrets. It was the funniest shit ever. We ended up holding them for 20 minutes on the wall with a massive (6 lvl 3's on either door) turret farm to protect engineers on the wall. It was awesome.


    If the BE were smart, they woulda ALL went engineer to offset our engis, but whatever, they were content to rush into 16~ lvl 3 MG turrets.

    If they were even smarter they would have blown all your shit to hell with the overpowered mortar. Sounds like fun though.

    Okay way to warp everything I said.

    1. Turret farms happen all the time on escourt, they suck
    2. I can't just switch servers and not play escourt, because both servers are on escourt when it hits it
    3. I never said that there were only 4 maps on rotation I said that in every 4 maps, one is almost certainly escourt
    4. Escourt isn't, and never will be fun (matter of opinion I suppose)
    5. Why do servers play the same maps so frequently when there are so many available on the list?
    6. Most servers have no Rock The Vote

    Maybe I should cut BE's Tickets in half or something.

    Many have removed it because the community abuses it. Same with votekick and voteban.
