What you do not understand is that the newbs think "more is better".
When they enter in an open map like ac_douze, they get orgasms seeing 10 players at once (you can see them all at once, in opposite to other official maps).
This is weird, even the game being "fast paced", this is *too much* (i.e. it is hard to keep alive, and you need a lot of adrenaline to keep going... dying and respawning in a very higher frequency).
But ac_douze with a lot of people is more AssaultCube like than any TwinTowers game.
TwinTowers perverts the engine (it is a small map with a long deep pit between the bases) and destroys the gameplay, since there is no other option except to camp and frag with the sniper.
The newbs enter in a 10x10 TwinTowers or 10x10 ac_douze and think it is better than any 5x5 ac_ctf_game. They simply do not understand the game... and many of these guys will play the game for once (or one week) before leave. So there is no way to control this with votes....
Tbh, the vote system is the biggest failure this game could have. People do not know how to vote, and democracy in the pubs is simply useless.
