I would have started a poll but I'm not seeing that option for some reason...
Anyway, what are thoughts on including custom maps in the OMO server rotation? Or perhaps even running them exclusively? The upside is, some freshness in this game which may be starting to get stale. The downside is, server becomes unranked, which doesn't work well if you are chasing objectives.
My personal opinion is, lets try it.

Like the idea.
How hard is it to switch back and forth? I could see having custom map nights and vanilla CoD4 nights.
I agree about CoD getting a little stale. Some of these mod maps are sweet. I'll try to write down the ones I like.
Maps I've played and like so far:
Subway
Village

Quick question: will it effect the server as a ranked server?

There is a sticky topic on codhq.com which gives a how-to:
http://www.codhq.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=2688
Take it with a grain of salt...
It looks like the maps get downloaded faster if they are hosted on a website as opposed to the game server.

Everyone should be close to to the top rank by now I would think, If not there are plenty of other servers that could be used to rank up.
I love the idea of getting customs maps in the rotation, I'm bored with what we have now and a change would be nice.

I like the Idea of one night for custom maps. We could try it to see how it goes and decide on things from there.

I'll look into it. I can certainly host the maps off my server, so that should not be an issue.

If you guys want to check out a sever before we convert ours check this one out.
8.6.76.100.
The maps aren't as polished but they're new and take some getting used to.

went to the server and had a ball. Shame the ranking wont work for em tho. Downloaded over a dozen maps during play...cool for a change & love the old BF2 maps.

Well I'm far from even half rank, but new maps are always fun

If I'm not mistaken, half rank takes away the ability to have a server that adds to stats.

ok, I tried to get on the other night and it indicated the OMO server was running a different version. Am I missing something?
Did you get the 1.5 update that came out last week?

Some of the custom maps are even far better than the stock ones (IMHO).
I only play COD4 about 2 hrs a week now (FH2 is the game for me) but when I do play it's usually on a custom map server.

MP_VILLAGE_NIGHT is the best map (stock or custom) and the day version MP_VILLAGE is second. Warehouse is good. and a couple different versions of Matmata are fun too.
