wow....it's amazing how a map rotation can empty out a server.

The map was castle, server was full. some people left after the map dragged on for a while.

then, the map changed...to 2fort.

pretty soon. i was the only left on dallas. made me sad, because i'd been looking forward to playing all night.

can we get some people back on dallas and get some good games going?

    I don't like 2fort. It's too defensive, so really only fun when defending.
