Yes there is always a chance based on community support! I would direct people to place their opinions in the squad channel in discord as that’s where the most community engagement will happen

@kuma_au sorry for the delay in responding, we are currently running a community voted invasion layer on saturday and sunday afternoons. The vote can be found on our discord in the #squad channel

At the moment, we are trying to aim for every 2-3 maps as Fallujah also taking into account ensuring everyone gets a chance to play MEA.

So for instance, if we have fallujah with MEA as team 2, the next map might be one of the new layers that has MEA as team 2 again meaning both sides / teams rotate and get to play MEA once every 2 maps. 

Then we will run a fallujah again or another potentially another existing map / layer to ensure diversity in the rotation and giving everyone a taste of squad in general!

How often will we have 100 player games? Servers set for 100 players so every day providing we get a seed, we should hit 100 easily enough. Last night showed there was at least 800-900 players in oceania across all the servers and queues!

Well this was a fun topic.
