3-map choice.

Each of these 3 maps has base 9% chance of being randomly selected.

A player's choice increases base chance by 3% for that map.

Players who don't make a choice increase base chance of all 3 maps by 1%.

This would ensure all maps sometimes come up.

----

Here are the chances of Maps (A, B, C) being selected in the following situations:

All players pick A
A: 81%
B: 9%
C: 9%

Half of players pick A, others make no pick
A: 57%
B: 21%
C: 21%

Half of players pick A, rest pick B
A: 45%
B: 45%
C: 9%

One third of players pick A, B and C each
A: 33%
B: 33%
C: 33%

etc

(The leftover 1% has been removed for ease of illustration, it's actually 9.33% base chance of being selected, etc)

Only fix worth a damn is removing it.

If they want to make it completely random in map and mode fine I'll live with that, but I'm not putting up with this voting ********, P.G.I want my money they take it out

+1. I'll be waiting for that day playing CW or Test Server exclusively. HPG skirmish online is not my thing.

Well, any change does also need to solve the problem of too many small 'pools' for MM.

A total random system would solve that problem, but what's the harm in giving each player a 3% chance to influence the outcome?

Even in a 12-man that's only a 36% influence on the outcome.
