I voted Container City, but it only just beats out the Shipyard. What can I say, I like the dirty, broken landscapes…
While we’re on the topic of the different maps, can anyone point me in the direction of an interview or forum post where one of the devs explained why Shipyard isn’t part of the proper storyline (seeing as it’s obviously meant to take place before Resort). I’m just interested in why they made the decision, because it seems like a strange one.
Wish i’d voted resort now. It seems to be the map that i win and lose equally both attacking and defending. The last objective is great. I love how there are a few places for the operatives to hide.
Resort ftw. Map is so much fun, especially after you blow the pillar. And who wouldn’t want to dance to awesome techno music in the background? :stroggbanana:
W/L balance isn’t everything. All the W/L says is how often the the last stage is won, anything before that could be horribly unbalanced.
Not really, a loss at an earlier stage also counts as a loss, a win at an earlier stage doesn’t mean anything yet. I’d say W/L is as accurate as it gets for total map balance. If one of the objectives is heavily biased towards either team this will show in the W/L.
Refuel over all others as it seems to be currently most balanced maps for both Security and Resistance. The objective locations are not extremely favoring the defense team as some other maps, and the skirmish in the hanger perhaps is the most fun engagement spot in the game.
I think I like SecTow the best with Shipyard as a close second. Actually, I didn’t base my choices off of how they play(well I did somewhat but not for the most part). Sometimes I like to look at the scenery on the maps, sometimes that’s hard to do with a mostly fast-paced game though. I won’t really go into details because I would probably end up going on forever. I also really like Resort and CCity, Refuel and Reactor are pretty cool. Terminal is fun most of the time too, but strangely Aquarium is my least favorite. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun to play, just not my favorite.
Security Tower has become my new favorite map. I love the challenge of trying to get Nechayef to the boat. So hard against a good team. But when you do it, it feels awesome.
[QUOTE=InfiniteStates;321851]It’s nice to see an even spread across the maps which means SD are doing something right 
Not surprised to see reactor lagging though, short map with sucky attack objectives.[/QUOTE]
yeah i lag on reactor and containor city:mad:
Resort
Reason:
I’ve had some good battles on that map, and the easiest part is ironically, moving the bot, the hardest is hacking. Probably because hacking is severly crap in this game, and the hack boxes are still to easy to take off… but the map gives soldiers (my favorite class) the opportunity to rack up some XP, at the same time, rack up a lot of kills, good clean fun.
I would say Container City, but it’s far too unbalanced IMO. As soon as Resistance STARTS the spawn camping, Resistance has to suck in order for Security to pull though or just stop being spawn camped… otherwise they’re screwed…
I also like Resort. My least favorite has to be Terminal, to be quite honest. The fight is in a very compact space at the first obj, with most of the fight happening there. It is definitely a good change of pace because you don’t want to have all of the maps be too similar. The second half of the map opens up and is a lot more fun. The slide down from resistance side is weird. I could see this map building up as players come up with more strategies or duke it out outside of the terminal mainframe room.
I like most but Reactor and sec tower happen to be the ones that are more fun to play for me at the moment
I perfer refuel because it has a few moe objectives. I would prefer to have 4-6+ objectives per map. I think the ones that only have 1-2 objectives get boring quicker.
I like shipyard as well but it seems like much of the map isnt used. SD could have done a better job utilizing all of that space with more objectives. I also like container city except for the spawn camping issue there. Even the bots spawn camp CC.
There are so many great things about each of the maps.
My favorite has to be, Refuel. The amount of objectives and the open spread of the map make it a wonderful battle that truly utilizes the entire map. The choke points center around the objectives, as it should be, and the rest of the map, small skirmishes happen anywhere, making travel from the spawn to the objective fun instead of tedious.
I think my least favorite is Reactor, I think there needs to be another main objective or two tossed in because I feel that so much of that map is basically wasted potential, especially after the first objective.
