The current screen to select map and game mode is severely flawed, because of some game modes being uncomaptible with some maps these maps appear for choice very rarely, this is not just a question of map frequency -which is bad enough- but also since those maps are the smallest and most brawl friendly this also makes QP less friendly towards brawling than it used to be.

What to fix:
Make all maps equally frequent for choice.
Make QP less biased towards LR weaponry
What to keep:
Make it sure that all maps and game modes have a reasonable chance of being selected.
Keep interface changes to a minimum to make this feature as easy to implement as posible.

The Suggested new system to pick map and game mode

1st: Server Picks randomly any 4 maps and any 4 game modes.
2nd: People vote as usual for any map and game mode available.
3rd: Server picks map semi randomly acording the number of votes each map got (if a map got 25% of votes it has a 25% chance to be picked)
4th: Server discards incompatible game modes and picks among valid modes in the same random-weighted fashion the match game mode.
5th: Have varied, balanced fun -> PROFFIT.

Remove map and game mode voting.

FTFY.

Just make map and mode randomly selected.

[Nameless King]

Random Maps and Modes would fix all

No Voting. Random draw eliminates all choice and the game would be better off BUT, a great many players count on the brawling maps; and, you see those maps match after match..... PGI and the comp crowd are trying to eliminate indirect fire weapons so there are not as may LRMers as there use to be; so, the "open maps" players have very little choice..... Make it fair: random choice serves all; not, the few well placed players or teams who have PGI's ear..........

Go back to the way it was and remove map voting.. and if anyone whines for it tell them they dont need it they have faction warfare to let them pick different drop decks
