Right now, along with most times I check, all 3 servers are playing Dustbowl, and according to HLStatsx it has about 50% of the total kills, second is Gravelpit and Granary (because its on the map rotation after Dustbowl).

I know we all like Dustbowl, but lets give the other maps some love ok?

Most of the time there seems to be a mapvote to choose the next map, and I guess it's democracy that dustbowl is chosen. I've recently become a big fan of it and I can see why it's gained traction.

Compared to all the other (valve) maps, it has the ability to be different with every mini-round and the blu team could win one round not to win the next. Also, a team that majorly sucks at offense may be better as defense. This is the only (valve) map to have that distinct offensive/defensive play.

Maybe a suggestion would be to have one of the servers on constant dustbowl rotation, another not have it at all and the other left as is. At least until we lovers eventually get bored of it!

I can say i think DB is on far too often and it lasts for 90 minutes aswell each time so after the each team as attacked and defended it should move on to the next map or something but instead each team get 2 often 3 attacks and defends, the map itself is full of spam with demos and sgs everywhere, a few rounds of it are good but when it lasts as long as it does and it on every other map (DB-Granary-DB) then its gets very repetitive and i find it quite boring now

I can't agree with you more. Seems it's dustbowl dustbowl dustbowl. We have 3 servers and they usually all seem to be playing dustbowl at the same time.

Not great for me as I don't like it much.

I love a good dustbowl match.

But I also love a good Hydro, or 2fort, or.. well anything else really. It can get frustrating if Dustbowl crops up, say, 3 times in a rotation of 7 maps. Generally the third time is my cue to call it a night, or even the second if i've been on a while.

I hate Dustbowl. EVERYONE always votes for it and it comes about 5 times in 2 hours. Daaargh!!! Ban Dustbowl!!!

Did you know, 47% of all HH games are played on Dustbowl... that's how popular it is.

perhaps we can set up map vote so that if dustbowl has been on in the last 2 maps it doesnt get chosen again?

Did you know 42.69% of statistics are made up on the spot?

Seriously though, Dustbowl has always been one of my favourite maps - almost every game that isn't a steamroll feels like a tense, epic push (easy on the innuendos there...) and victory feels well earned. The team that has better co-ordination will win out (not necessarily the better deathmatchers).

It's all about the ubermensch.

Perhaps, but I took mine from our HLXStats pages
