Just a thought...<br><br>Since the admins handle most of the costs of bandwidth, how about admin's creating a consensus driven map pack. Pick a target size, and put enough maps in it to satisfy that volume. Update it based on interest with a new version (this satisfies those who's fav's aren't picked 1st). Maybe do a tag in the server's id line, ala mohaa and ckr1.1?<br><br>Dave<br><br><br><b><i>Quint van Drosthagen <cod@se-easy.net></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> The good news is that a lot of users will go to the 1.3 patch with these<br>fixes...
