No Custom Map servers?

I'm very disappointed that since launch, I have not seen a single server running a custom map. Do we have a perfectly working workshop that distributes content automatically for nothing? Where are all the servers running custom maps?

    Get to making custom maps. There's just not very many that are at release quality quite yet.

    It takes awhile for server owners to go in and install maps. I'd say be patient.

    There are currently 13 non-combat custom maps on steam workshop right now in various states of completion. As of yet, I have never played a custom map and I really would like to. I think UWE should have like 2 servers running only custom maps just to get them played and enjoyed.

    Alot of custom maps are no finsihed. So there isnt much of a point. And the ones that re have not been balanced around the finished game play

    There are not many maps done yet... So yeah, your disappointment is a bit misplaced. I mean if there is no completed content there will not be custom map servers. And with completed content I mean finisihed map that is also balanced, both of which are a herculan task... It's not like a map is created in just a day...

    Now IF we have some custom maps that are finished, Cat-Poker hit the nail on the head as it would be very nice to have a few of them running on UWE official servers, so you know we don't have this "no one plays custom maps because no servers are running them" thing we had back in NS :P

    I sure hope someone finds a way to find all the good maps from NS1 to NS2.

    There are some remake projects going on, but the thing is these remakes take almost as much time as creating a map from scratch due to the fact they still have to be built from scratch :)

    As in NS1, I hope NS2 has a great selection in the future. It will take time befor we see many new things but when they are out it will be awsome. One thing I want to see is the return of the Seige Maps MUHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

    There are, but because custom maps are treated as mods, you have to uncheck 'filter modded' to see those servers (i.e. custom maps are not whitelisted yet). Personally, I'm looking forward to some nice games on turtle, plant, and tanith.

    Apart from triad, turtle, plant, maybe kleos and goliath, and eclipse when remedy finaly finishes it? Uhuh.

    And yeah, plant would be a VERY interesting playthrough for a map, its quite.. unique.

    I'm sure it's possible. The mechanics would just have to change a bit. There would have to be a lot less turret farming.

    All the custom maps I have seen are a long way from finished, so not much point of running a server for them.

    Triad is excellent and every server should be running it.

    They might not be finished, but they will not get better if they are not played. The creators need feedback and suggestions how to improve them. You can't just wait untill a map is perfect, you have to support your local mappers ;)
