Please put all 4 maps on half hour rotation for pubs.

Tonight I tried to play for 10 minutes on the TDM map and couldn't stand it so I shut off because it was the map for an hour. Can we please just get all 4 maps on half hour rotation? This way if you...

@hayhor Well, doing map rotation right gets trickier with each new map added. A 30 minute rotation is too short, while a complete cycle of 2 hours is pretty long already. I would feel pretty annoyed to wait for 1.5 hours just to play 30 minutes on Storm Point, especially if I'd be a content creator / streamer.

@DoYaSeeMeI really don't care about content creators. Most just make high damage high kill game videos. The other are doing ranked games so they are on storm point.

And this isn't tricky or a hard concept. Other games have done it for years. As it is now you have to wait at least an hour for the other map and if you aren't a fan of either of these you are going to play something else.

  @hayhor If it isn't tricky, why don't we have it? Why wouldn't they just push a few buttons and cash in more $$? Everything's there, all that's needed is a config change, right?
  
  There's always a lot more stuff going on behind the scenes. For example, I haven't seen any talk about how servers handle the switching of the maps. Do maps need to get uploaded to servers each match? Do all maps get uploaded at once and stay in memory of a server during the whole period it's borrowed from the cloud?

    @DoYaSeeMe Somehow other games with giant maps are able to do it. BF2042 which has gigantic maps and 128 players in a match will have 7 maps when it launches tonight. As I mentioned SW BF2 rotates you through maps almost every time you press play into a match. I'm not buying it is too hard to do. I just think they are featuring the last map with a major change and the new one for some reason. Heck last season we had all 3 in rotation.
