With projects like OS and Cerebrum-Synapse, I have re-gained interest in Halo CE. Because of this, I am planning on opening up a dedicated on my brand new fiber optics intarnet. I'm sick of playing endless bloodgulch, and would like some custom maps. This is a list I have come up with for fun maps to play on, I would like suggestions.

Current ideas:
Yoyorast
New Mombasa Classic
Wartorn Cove 3
No Remorse
Immure 2
Grove_final
Gauntlet/Gauntlet Classic

only way your gonna get people to play on the maps you listed, if their is already 1-4 people already in the sever playing (besides yoyo.map). try doing a banfree sev lols

Try viewing severs that are hosted with coustom maps with people in them already. and do wut they do. The lbc race way and zelda map kids rush to those severs

Yoyorast, snow grove, and those horrible maps like coldsnap and hugeass are all the custom maps that I ever see with a constant amount of people.

Theres a few servers out there that play a bunch of customs... the STW clan server always has customs going, and even if it's empty most of the time I've spent about six hours in that server over the past few days with 4-6 people in it. Don't forget... if you join an empty server it will make other people more likely to join it... somone has to start it.

Also, in the server for your message of the day put a URL to where your maplist is and have a .rar of the map cycle. Or have **SERVER** commands say it every once in a while. This will help people out if they want to play but don't want to put in the effort to find all your maps seperately.

At least that's what I think ALL servers should do.... but that might just be me.

As for actual maps?...

Anxiety
CamtrackArena
Chiller
Corrupted
Delta Ruined
FissureFall
Immure
Midship
No_Remorse
Portent

I'd include a bunch of others of course, but.. those IMO are must haves.

Basically it's either have a populated server running gay maps, or have an empty server running good maps.

i think with the right maps, it can be semi-populated

i think multiple people (including myself) have tried getting a good custom maps server going and failed due to inactivity

good luck though

No people just go to the brothers and arms dedi for that map.
To get it populated throw in non custom maps as well.
