+ Tropicvendeta, bush. TV is a great map, the only negative I can find is that it restricts com movement, but that's not that major. I just love the mobile bases in bush, the possibility for comebacks and the epic seiges. - King. There are many custom maps I'd prefer not to play, but king outstrips them all. Can't be played in anything less than 20v20, but you never get that because of specstax. Why stack spex? Cause it's boring as fuck. Longest walks ever, massively open chokepoints. the SE is shit for infantry fighting, it's impossible to find anything and you have to work as an ultra-tight unit that can usually only be achieved by clanners of the same clan. And the middle tunnels... oh god. Like nadespam? We've got it!! Wall spam? Sure!! Linear play that goes nowhere? You need not even ask.
mesa is not cluttered its almost as open as cyclopean, rest is pure esthetic so I dont care. Those freaking concrete tank blockades have a purpose. Show me a single empires (or hl2 in general) map that has realistic rocks / mountains. Theirs none
Most: Tropic Vendetta, PuddingForts Least: Blah, King (always ends up with 1 team in the buildings with the other team controlling everything else, but the game still lasts for hours)
Most: Bush, or midbridge if they ever fixed the lolollolol infinite res from 2 refineries problem. Tropic Vendetta has some of the best strategic gameplay, but its too big and open and I cant run people over as comm. Worst: Snowbound? That one with the built in turtle shells that prolong games for an hour even though they were decided in 2 minutes by apc rushes.
Most: emp_district402 for seeding, emp_tropicvendetta with a decent player count Least: Infantry maps with many players.
I wonder if it would be a good idea to make a small comm map. Something like a minature cyclopean with a ref in each corner and a middle flag.
Temple was still a good size map despite the starting locations being close to each other. i think i may recreate emp_fastest.
Ah yea I remember temple, I think. The one with 2 starting bases separated by some buildings and a thing to the west that everyone rushed? Anyway if no small maps show up by the time I get sick of my current project I might give it a shot.
