Some maps are fun, some are easy, and some are annoying. What map is the best?

I think Blood gulch is the ultimate map because its just straight on sniping and vehicle driving.

BG is pretty cool the first like, 40 times. But the whole "if you have a sniper rifle, you win" starts to suck.

Your just bitter Hephaestes because you get sniped to much.

coviekiller, BG is ok, but only when there are more than 3 people playing. CTF is useless, because of the ghosts. One of the best maps is Sidewinder. It is probally bigger than BG, but there is more variety and more places to hide. Sniping is still an issue, but it is possible to get from base to base without being sniped down.

I'd probably say Sidewinder. I first start playing Sidewinder, then Blood Gulch. I found that BG was very easy sniper wise. Especially when you get into the BG tower.

Both levels has the "If you have a sniper rifle, the you'll win" scenario but I found this was lesser the story in Sidewinder. Purely because of the hiding places and the bend in the map.

Sidewinder is a BIG map, best for team slayers, with many players.

For small people playing, Hang 'em High is great. Come to think of it, Hang 'em High is a great all rounder!

Your right sidewinder is the better agaianst sniping. And hang em high is a good small level but I Iike rat race because your consitently meeting someone

It depends on the scenario, I like damnation for King of the Hill, Wizard is a great slayer stage (for about 6 people), but my favourite is CTF on blood gultch (+ if you dont like ghosts why dont you just turn them off?)

Yeah rat race is pretty cool. every time you respawn, there is a firefight to be had. Rat Race is perfect for a little 10 minute Slayer game.

About the Ghost, you can't just pick 1 vehicle to turn off. If you "turn off the Ghosts" then you can only have 1 other vehicle, either the Warthog or Scorpion, but, what if i want the Warthog and the Scorpion, what do i do then. Is there something i haven't found?

I think battle creek is pretty good for CTF because its so small

BC is good for CTF because it is nonstop. There is no period of time without a firefight.

I think Hang EM High, ive always had so much fun ont aht level, also, wizard is a small but awesome level, sometimes me and one of my friendsjust go ibn their with a custom game with 50 kills and its chaos, its great. i also like sidewinder and i think boarding action is great for sniping.

Blood Gulch rules all but I don't see the problem with Ghosts either... they're easy to take out. I turn snipers off if there isn't many players, but as soon as numbers increase it becomes hard for them to stay hidden... especially with counter-sniping. But I enjoy using the warthog to take their flag. Btw is there an EASY way to get to the tower you know of?

Chillout for capture the flag. Being the red team on that level, you have disadvantages. The ones who've played it understand why. I like testing myself and my team on that one. Wizard for slayer.

There are quite a few good ones, for nonstop action ctf battle creeek, that is non stop man! I also really like blood gulch because of veichles, especially the warthog.

For slayer I like hang em high and chillout and damnation

For Koth I like dammy and chillout

For all around hang em is best in order from best to worse it goes like so
1. Hang em
2. Blood Gulch
3. Damnation
4. chillout
5. Battle Creek

BG or SW. In CTF definitely BG, as the defence on Sidewinder is way too easy. Just sit on the healthkit with a shotgun, and when an unsuspecting attacker walks in, contact-shoot him. One hit kill. Or you can do the same with a rocket launcher, either way is too easy.
