    Hmm, I disagree slightly Scardy, I think you should only be able to include defunct maps are your best, otherwise the least ones will be full of old maps like trenches, gorge and fastestmap.

    Most: King
    Good tank fighting in around the North western area, intense infantry fighting in the city. The map has so much to offer, but you MUST have a lot of people. Literally a full server. But if you have a full server, and a reasonable team, it gives fantastic gameplay, it just sucks if you have anything other than a tonne of people.

    Least: Shadows_rc10a
    I used to love the pre-rc10 versions, but since it became completely linear, I just don't enjoy it. It's a cluster fuck, hideously BE balanced, no side passages in the main starting rush point in the garage thingy. Just unfun.

    worst: railroads ( concept was good but map was shit)
    king (boooring, not much cover, fps issues)
    nf escort (still it is an "other" escort in my eyes)
    cybers escort mod

    Is there an updated list of custom maps somewhere?
    The wiki doesn't show all of them, and the "playable custom maps" topic also misses quite a few.

    No. It is a normal commander map. Minimap looks like this:

    Or, as it's more commonly known, emp_kutm.

    Most: Bush - <3 this map, feels like a good classic RTS map, plays well on the ground. It'll look even better with the next update.

    Least: shadows_rc10a - I thought about this for a while, and I'm going to have to agree with Trickster. The previous versions were decent, but the latest one is just... Blah.

    I quite like shadows, mesa looks promising from the one game I played on it.

    I dislike every stupid map, eg rainbowroad, downhillwhatever etc.

    i have to agree with chris here, empires is being spammed with many shitty maps that are fun for the 10% of players for the 5 first minutes.

    best: moors, frozensummit, valley
    first two are simple, uncluttered and fun super-aggressive maps, the third is an awesome experience once the middle begins to turn into utter chaos. (lvl3's shooting all over the place and people yelling over voip to drop walls/get revs or mark targets for artillery) I think some of my most memorable moments were dashing across the river on valley with my squad and methodically working our way through their maze of walls and lvl3's making our own as we went along breaching a path for our team.

    worst: snowbound, silo, coast, mesa
    snowbound needs more refs in center.
    silo's middle makes me puke. that a couple of flags in a confined space are worth about as much as a large open expanse makes the gameplay seem unfair. i'm strongly against flags giving res. thats what refineries are for.
    coast is soley about who can hold a vf and the flag at the same time like most flag maps.
    mesa is much too cluttered and could use hills that didnt look so artificial. please make the slopes more gentle and hill-ish. all of the candy shaped hills put me off. too many little concrete doodads amongst the candy hills makes the map feel too much like a loony toons set.
