How are we going to do the update?

With new maps realising next week, how will the servers do it? For the first day, will all the servers become for the new maps, or only 1 of the servers for about a week?

Will the customs just be added to the rotation, and not be that big of a deal?

Just wondering what to expect from TF2F next week.

Scout ban.

I'll be playing in servers 1 and 4...

I'll play engineer as usual.

I will spend games with my senty huddled up in a corner to stop it being circle strafed to death by energy boosted scouts.

Set one server to run only the new maps...and have the same server lack a limit on Scouts.

Leave all the other servers alone except for a Scout Limit.

From what we're discussing, they may or may not be a scout limit.

I believe it's going to be 1 or 2 servers rotating those 3 or 4 maps. Nothing certain yet. Might wanna wait for Album's announcement.

IMO we should have at most 1 server rotating the new maps.

We haven't discussed this yet, but here is what I'm imagining happening after the admins discuss possible changes, with slight variations...

Servers 1 and 4 will not get touched.

All new maps will be added into rotation on Server 2, some new maps will be added into rotation on Server 5, it's possible that Server 2 or Server 5, will play new maps more often if not 24/7 for at least the first day, if not longer.

Server 3 will remain Arena as it looks like Valve is going to make a change or two to Arena mode based on the achievements for the Scout update.

Servers 2, 3 and 5 will not have class limits imposed for at least the first day, perhaps an extra. If many Scouts continue to become a problem, then this may change afterwords, but we'll wait that out. The reason for this is because we have Servers 1 and 4 with class limits already imposed, if you don't want to play Scout, I'll invite you to play there, but the fact of the matter is that as a player myself, I will want to be playing Scout the day of the release and if we limit classes on our other pubs, then I'm gonna go seek out different pubs in play in - and I know that I'm not the only one who will want to do that. But again, we'll have variety so if you don't want to deal with all the Scouts, then play Server 1 and 4 for a while. On the other hand, who wouldn't have fun playing Engineer or Heavy in a room full of Scouts?

So, you mean to say, "party in server 5!"

Well I don't play on your servers (( Can't find them in the games list, and I can't be bothered )) But if you're going to set limits or ban scouts for the few days you're probably going to chase away the potential players.
