Default Is it normal that some maps happen over and over?

Another noob question - some maps like Afghan are selected over and over again. Others like Rundown I've seen maybe twice so far. I don't have detailed statistics, but I'm pretty sure it's not just my impression.

Is it normal?

The map rotation on MW2 is poor.

Obviously it's not supossed to be that way, but i'd say it's pretty normal for it to happen. Happens to me all the time.

I believe some maps have a higher percentage of getting picked, based on game type. Certain game types have limited map selection, like how ground war is never played on Rust.

The rarity of rust is no coincidence...

And whenever I play for the first time in a while, my first map is always on rundown

And I HATE rundown

Theres also the fact that lately on PC, if the lobby doesn't close after one game, it plays the same map. This has happened about half a dozen times in the last two days to me.

But yeah, I rarely see rust on TDM express, whereas estate gets played all the time, despite the fact that it sucks.

After having stimulus for over a month I still have yet to see a stimulus map in any normal playing! I can only get them via the stimulus mosh pit, which sucks big time!

Default Re: Is it normal that some maps happen over and over?

It does seem to happen but at the same time i probably only really notice when its playing the 3-4 maps thats i dont like, if its playing maps i love i could care less if they show up alot lol.

Like someone else mentioned they probably do increase the % that maps are played depending on the game mode, some maps are better suited for certain modes like highrise, and terminal etc etc are more symmetrical then other maps and show up more often in objectives. Smaller maps are better for TDM and its probably why they show up more often but yea anyways.

Probably not enough people have bought the maps on PC for them to be added to the rotation straightaway.

I have the opposite. I try to play a normal game mode like demolition but it feels like I'm playing the stimulus mosh pit because all I get is overgrown and salvage.

And does anyone notice that you never ever ever not once get Wasteland Demolition?

And Rust only comes up in team tac and FFA

The only map I don't like is Derail, especially TDM. Others I can at least deal with.

Yeah now and then. A bit like Derail only really comes up on team games. I've definitely noticed that the maps kind of roll in sequences.

As someone said previously in this thread, the new maps seem to come up over and over at the moment, whereas Highrise, Rust and Afghan seem to be hardly ever coming up?
