This might belong in mapping, dunno.
As we all know, there are many mappers out there who are busy making maps for tremulous, many of which are excellent. However, these new maps don't get played very often because there are many players who don't download them, and servers don't want to take big hits in their player numbers.
Pulse, Procyon, Thermal, UTCS, Ancient remains, Sokolov, flap, Meep, Outpost P4, ATCSza, and surely many others, just don't get played very often even though they stand up quite well to the original maps.
So I suggest that we have an official tremulous mappack, which players will be notified to download by the tremulous client. Obviously, maps would have to be chosen carefully, but this would allow for deserving maps to actually get put into a server rotation without emptying out the server.
I know autodownload kinda serves this purpose, but a lot of players don't want to wait for the download to finish, nevermind that there are very few popular servers that actually have beta maps in rotation.
What do you think?
