All Ye Troglodytes,
After hearing all the input over the last couple of weeks, ZJ and I both added and reordered the maps. Added conquest large maps, as well as more capture the flag and deleted some of the less popular maps along with changed the order.
We have about 20 maps in rotation and the 1-10 will be for a smaller population, where as 11 - 20 will generally be for larger style maps. ZJ and I have spent a couple of hours between discussing, administrating and testing which maps and what modes would be good for TNT. We have really tried to take into account the many suggestions and criticisms over the last week.
So check out the new changes, and help us out by seeing out if this is both fun for us all as well as popular with the pubbers.
It's a task to do the administration and spend all the time reading, installing and setting up and continually mucking about to ensure things are working correctly. So I would like to take the this time to thank ZJbrandon for his continued and persistent efforts to keep this a fun, drama free place to play!!
Cheers! :redx: :flipoff: :cheers: :cheers: :banghead: :smokin: :neener: :flipoff: :crazy: :jeffey: :yikes: :flipoff: :neener: :neener:

My feedback on the list:
Operation Whiteout Domination 1 Lame ass map! remove ASAP or sooner!
1 Operation Firestorm Team Deathmatch 1 Change to Conquest. Firestorm was never a popular DM map on BF3
2 Hainan Resort Domination 1 This would be better as a death match
3 Sunken Dragon Team Deathmatch 1
4 Golmud Railway Domination 1 Golmud is one of the most popular conquest maps in game. Change to CQ or DM.
5 Rogue Transmission Domination 1 Domination is good for flavor, but this is a really popular death match and conquest map.
6 Paracel Storm Team Deathmatch 1
7 Pearl Market Domination 1
8 Giants Of Karelia Domination 1
9 Gulf of Oman Team Deathmatch 1 DM on Gulf can be really hit or miss. Usually ends up being a sniper fest. BF3 had issues with that.
10 Lumphini Garden Domination 1
11 Flood Zone Domination 1 Change this to Death Match.
12 Lost Islands Domination 1
13 Silk Road Team Deathmatch 1
14 Operation Metro 2014 Domination 1 I would change this to a rush map. Very different and great BF3 nostalgia. Or just make it conquest.
15 Siege of Shanghai Team Deathmatch 1
16 Hammerhead Domination 1
17 Operation Metro 2014 (nextmap) Capture The Flag 1 Meh, its something different. I just don't like the map. Maybe swap it with Shanghai?
18 Caspian Border Rush 2 Make this a conquest map. It was never super popular as rush in BF3
19 Sunken Dragon Capture The Flag 1
20 Siege of Shanghai Conquest Large 1 Swap this map for Zavod. Much more popular map
21 Guilin Peaks Conquest Large 1
22 Nansha Strike Conquest Large 1
Food for thought...

Thanks for the help and input, Puffy.
Also, thanks for the input, Yuda.
There have been a few tweaks since he posted this list, so it is only a rough snapshot.
The whole thing is hit and miss with maps. There often isn't enough players to support the larger CQ maps, and when there are lots of players, the smaller DM and TDM maps get pretty crowded.
I started the server with all CQ Small and TDM maps, and it has been molded since then.
I know of several pubbers who come to our server for the TDM, and prefer it.
I added some Domination mostly to cut down on random spawns, which was a frequently mentioned frustration, and also add flag caps for points.
If we can continue to attract more players, I think it'd be great to run all larger maps, but who knows if that will happen, as there are plenty of servers out there that have been around longer than us and still struggling to have population.

ZJ,
I like CTF mode. It really forces team play last night lots of positive feedback. So I hope you don't mind me adding in some other ctf maps into the rotation. For me its heart pumping fun. I really have not had my heart rate up in the same way! The intense competition is quite riveting!
Puffmeisterification!

I agree

if there are enough players to make it an actual round, then i agree. the gameplay on CTF is wildly different and a shit ton of fun. My opinion would be to scatter a few CTF in the rotation, but go slowly and see how the regular pubbers respond.
if we have players, and we're having fun, then mission accomplished. :cheers:
