I've noticed that people want to start a new map after approx. 45 minutes. Can we vote or something to get all timelimits reduced to 45 minutes? Or has this already been discussed/decided upon?

I agree.....though 45 minutes is still a long time. Stock maps can last a little while, depending on the map (2 rounds each side of gravelpit is pleanty, 2fort maybe 15-20 minutes), but most custom maps just aint that great to play for too long. Any of the payload races, and especially the king of the hills...they're fun but only for a short duration. Maybe a 20 minutes custom, 30 minute stock rotation with a number 1 vote option being "keep map for 10 minutes".

We have it set up so that all maps on #1 are 30 minutes, but koth are 15 minutes. #2 all maps are 15 minutes, because a lot of people like custom maps, but nobody likes all the same ones.

I thought that stock maps were 45 minutes already?

Personally, I find that most games last 3-4 rounds max. That can take from 20 to 45 minutes.

The timelimit for all maps is already 45 minutes.


We can tweak them though.
