Is there a selection percentage set for each map? I RARELY get HPG and mostly get Terra. I don't mind Terra as a map, but I'm just curious about this fact.

The maps should be selected for play evenly, especially when there are so few maps.

Each map has a certain "rank" when the game selects one for a match. A while back someone dug up a bit of xml-data schowing that some maps had higher ranks than others, thus making them more likely to be selected (most were rank1, some, like terra, were rank 2).
That was quite a while back though and since then the rules have been changed to not allow the publication of game files and/or data uncovered by unpacking the game archives anymore so there is really no way to know if those "ranks" are still there and if they are wich maps have a higher one than others.

Edit: I believe the term used in that xml-file was "weight" not "rank" but I can't be bothered to edit it properly...

No word of a lie, since posting this message, I've played HPG 3 times out of 4 games. SO WEIRD!

Thanks for the info!
