Where in the poll did we say we wanted a 6 map map pool?

This Top 6 like ETF2L S8 map pool, which consists of 6 maps: http://etf2l.org/rules/league-rules/

Also, what are the percents for other maps?

You may calculate it by yourself. Link to download RAW data is above.

And what does x% even mean?

Average %% of 1-5 div players, who rated this map as Good and Amazing. Ie for cp_obscure:
div 1 – voted 6 – total 13 – 46,2%
div 2 – voted 11 – total 21 – 52,4%
div 3 – voted 12 – total 25 – 48%
div 4 – voted 19 – total 34 – 55,9%
div 5 – voted 25 – total 34 – 73,5%
Average result for cp_obscure is 55,2%.

Compare my results with previous survey http://www.vanillatf2.org/2011/02/lies-damned-lies-and-statistics/

hehe freight and gravelpit top 6…

Maps. In my opinion any good map must have a good idea at the base. Three years ago I played cp_obscure_alphafinal and a lot of its _rc’s on mpuk. Three years have passed but this map didn’t become native for us. Another example – a new version of turbine from a mystery Russian: two months from 1st release – 6th place without many years of aggressive PR. Excellent.

Unlocks. Look at the current rules for unlocks in Australia http://ozfortress.com/showthread.php?p=679268 It looks like the Season 15 or 20 from future for us. For two years after 2009 we can’t return Gunboats/DHs to soldiers and FaN to scouts…

Freight is literally the worst map ever. I’d rather play only obscure in s9 than that shit :D.

I’d prefer freight if I didn’t get horrible FPS lag on mid.
Seriously, it’s so painful o_O

[…]

Black box + gunboats = OP medic bomber?

are you insane, lightly speaking?

Quoted from Starkie

[…]
OP unless they miss a shot or have to do a double jump.

having only 2 rockets available when you need to start shooting at the medic is way too risky

Quoted from Monkeh

Maybe slightly crazy but insane…nah, dont think so, you’d have to ask my shrink….. Ba-dumm-tish.

Anyway, try reloading in mid air, then you can have all 3 rockets with which to pwn medics.

its more a mind game than actually doing something, when I go for the medic on middle its more to distract the enemy so much my team can go in and clean them up rather than kill him of course killing him in the process is a hefty bonus but its more of letting my team go aggro due to my sacrifice
edit:
err back to the point though no idea why i typed the above – I rarely have tim to shoot 2 rockets after I land so I usually must shoot 1 beforehand (hits when im in the medics face so full damage) and 1 to finish off, im dead by then most of the time so it doesnt matter if i have 1 or 2 left but it oft happens that im (dun dun) not dead, so I would rather fire 1 or 2 rockets than 0 or 1 rockets
edit 2:
so umm re-read my post and I can see im using your argument to help my side, but anyhow point is blackbox is less useful than rocket launcher even when bombing medics, the additional 30 hp rarely does any difference
