A New Beginning - Map Vote

[Falcon]

I feel like the Evocity maps have always done Fearless well. Maybe Ranox City is the road less traveled, yet I think there should be a testing period implemented to see if players actually like it, considering it has the majority of votes and will probably win. V5P is a well-developed map, yet I have never enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed V2D or V33X. I remember there was a point where FL ran both V2D and V33X and eventually V33X became the more popular of the two. 

Unfortunately I neither have the time nor the effort to play on Ranox City, but it definitely gives off a different vibe than the Evocity maps based on its Steam addon page, obviously this will open up new ways to roleplay. It looks kind of tropical, so maybe some Ranox Vice RPs? Can't go wrong there. Unfortunately it just doesn't look as good as V5P, but I can't really talk as I haven't even seen it in its entirety. 

V5P is way too large for the estimated playerbase, but it's better than the other options, except for V4B1, which is our current map. I think we are all in between a rock and a hard place here, and I think that some genuine effort and thought ought to be put in before a decision is made. Do we really need to change our map? Or should we put more effort into developing some actually interesting gamemode updates. I feel like this might be a waste of manpower with the development and testing of a new map, when the answer to our problem may be right in front of us. 

I recall when massive gamemode updates came out, the Hephaestus gun update was huge, as well as the meth update (or at least it was on LL). These completely changed my way of playing the servers and motivated me to achieve more within the gamemode. 

I don't know, just some thoughts.
