Good Maps

Tangerine and ScorpioBattleground because they're both nice mixed maps. Didn't play them too much after amphibs were introduced, so this might be a tad out of date.

edit: Oh yeah and Eye of Horus because of the nice heightmap that makes for interesting games. Geospots are positioned well too.

I like Archers Valley because it is a nice big map with lots of room to move around in. The hills however divide this area up and create choke points. You play by fighting over hills to porc on, but can still just walk around.

Hide and Seek is another favorite because of the terrain, which splits up the map into zones. I also like how players don't start in the corner.

Onyx cauldron, Valles Marineris, Iceland, Quicksilver, Obsidian, Tombstone desert, and Dune patrol are all maps I like as well. Lots of room to move around with interesting terrain.

Plus all the maps mentioned before.(except desert cliffs)

It is sad that nobody actually has any interest of how the first matchmaking mappool will look like.
And yet this sort of threads appear.

So, everyone agrees? Are we just waiting on someone to actually cut all but those maps from the 1v1 featured list, or are we just waiting for matchmaking?

I think culling every map mentioned in the bad map thread that isn't mentioned in this one would be a good start. We'd probably want to wait to see what others have to say first.

Guys come on!

Intersection v3!

Badlands is nice

Deadlands is not bad either

I mostly think about 1v1 maps though.

If you want to have the map tagging change do these things:

• Post on good maps which are not both featured and supported.
• Post on bap maps which are featured and supported.

Some discussion may be required, that is what the map comments are for.

what would be even cooler is a voting system on maps similar to what we have on forum

then we could filter map listings by popularity

I like the idea, I'd be scared of homogenising the map pool though.

You could circumvent problems with only ever playing the lowest common denominator by adding map probability to the pot.

To prevent homogenization, just make it "with x% chance ignore players and pick a random featured map". x can be adjusted as people complain on the forums.
