I'm tired of playing Zoo and Dust 2 in Deathmatches. There should be some map-specific queuing for the different game modes.

After what feels like an eternity on a single map, I think there should really be a way to force a map change or queue for a different map. Otherwise, the same people just seem to keep voting for the same maps and it never changes.

The whole point of deathmatch is to be a fun mode, so why not just make it cycle through the various maps instead of going to a vote every time?

When doing casual, DM, and arms race missions it will find you a specific map. I wonder if it is possible to do ourselves, via the console maybe?

Actually, there were yesterday post where reddit user were edited config files so that was possible. I tested it out myself and it worked very well! You can also play versus bots all earlier operation maps like Seaside, Overgrown etc. just by choosing them in menu. Link to post =)

Why does everyone like Zoo? (just wondering)

I like it because most areas are bright and easy to see, there aren't a ton of stupid dark corners to hide in (like in Rails), the map is straight forward and easy to navigate, and it has a fun light-hearted theme.

It's quite balanced in my opinion, the rushes are fun, there are a mild variety of strategies, the chokes are fun, the angles CT's hold are fun. I like the general atmosphere of B. A lot of reasons really.

there should be standard map cycle (no voting) or at least played map should be excluded for next 2-3 votes

Yeah that's pretty much the answer. Missions can take people to specific maps. Any other queuing will take you to a server with maps from the active/op/reserve group pool. When finished a map, that map can't be played for at least another two.

Also, I've noticed recently, I almost always get thrown into Inferno as the map I join on. Which is annoying, because I fucking hate Inferno.

yeah and often server is empty, first people are joining. inferno might be valve server's startup up DM map

Must be; I remember way back when, the startup map used to be assault I think? or maybe dust1.
