Oh joy, it's *that* map again...

[Natdaprat]

For me, it has to be in the Source mod Zombie Panic [http://store.steampowered.com/app/17500/?snr=1_4_4__13]. Lake of Legends, or Cabins. Basically a collection of houses that survivors have to defend from player zombies until the time expires. It's so overplayed and over rated.

If you're a fan of source mods, and haven't played this one, go play it. It's free and bloody fantastic. It's the only multiplayer shooter I've played for years and every week.

Crossfire - only good gamemode on this is domination, and even that is barely balanced enough to be any fun.

Shipment - yeeeeeeah... 3x frag anyone?

CoD4 by the way, for those who never played it

Yeah, Crossfire was pretty stupid, even for domination, I'd say. As for Shipment: ARE YOU Kidding? It's hilarious too play shipment with 3x nades, Martyrdom, and only shotguns,aka, Shit blows Up! I play that once in a while with my friends over LAN; hilarity ensues.

But i guess it wouldn't be as fun online.

Ever notice how in multiplayer games there are certain maps that are played so often that you get sick of them? Sometimes it gets so bad that there are dedicated servers running said maps 24/7.

What's your favorite multiplayer titles that suffer from this? I'll start it off with two examples:

Team Fortress 2: 2Fort. God, I hate 2Fort. The battlements are plagued with Snipers, and the entrances to the intel room are narrow chokepoints, perfect for Engineers to turtle with their sentry guns. Because of this, the match frequently ends with a stalemate.

Halo Reach: Sword Base. It mystifies me why this one is so popular, as the map itself is boring as hell. It's just a three story complex made entirely of rectangles and bridges. It's frustrating watching it win the map vote time after time, particularly if there are more interesting maps to choose from like Powerhouse.

I don't think 2Fort is that bad if you have a competent team. If you're having trouble, I would run with a soldier, medic, heavy, then a demo or a spy. Spies can be wonderful traveling with a group, as they can sap sentries, scout hallways, and get opportunity backstabs on distracted players.

I think Offblast or Nucleus are both miserable Arena maps on TF2. Moreso than Watchtower.

 

[The Wykydtron]

That Castel Gandolfo map from AC Bro, It's just a medium sized manor with a tiny garden. All I play is Manhunt and the running team may as well have a giant sign over their heads saying "I AM IN THIS CROWD OF PEOPLE, THROW FIRECRACKERS AT ME!"

 

[Hawk of Battle]

There's nothing wrong with it, but I don't get why everyone seems to choose 'The Village' in competitive matches in Uncharted 2 every single time it appears. I mean just why?

I usually find people skip it, which annoys me because I really like it. Good for elimination games. Same with Foundry in AVP, but I guess people just got sick of that one after the demo, even though it's the best map for Aliens.

Maps I hate though include Attacama Desert (oh god, the sunlight!!!) and Laguna Presa (shit, where's the cover??!!)in BC2 and Hill 137 (for the Veitcong) in Veitnam, Blood Gracht (for the Helgans) in Killzone 2, The Plaza in Uncharted 2 (too much debris) and Northern Bridge, Eucadia in Warhawk, because of the base raping.

 

[AK47Marine]

Strike at Karkand >.< jeez I spent more time on that map then I did in MOUT towns gearing up for an actual deployment lol.

No Blood Gulch from the Halo games? seriously that map would not go away

 

[Jfswift]

I'm just glad counterstrike is finally done - I think I'd lose it if I had to play dust one more time

 

[LtWiesel]

Summoner's Rift in League of Legends. God, when is Magma Chamber coming out?

Since enough idiots buy new champions for rp.... not before they created 1000champs^^

 

[purf]

I'd also say Nuketown. And I'll raise you a "servername Nuketown 24/7" wtf.

 

[DarkShadow144]

Hanoi in black ops. Im great on any other map, but there i am no more then the little kill ***** of the other team.

 

[krseyffert]

Havana on Black Ops.. god! i hate that map with a passion

 

[Rewdalf]

Shipment
Rust
Nuketown

Also, de_dust2...
Every single CS 1.6 server is a 27/7 dust server...
No thanks.

 

[Nicholas Woodruff]

Every map made in Forge World on Halo Reach. They're all badly designed choke points that are heavily angled towards one side that you never seem to get placed on.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Halo Reach: Waterfront on firefight. Those snipers always seem to spawn when you're desperately jetpacking away from an Elite swordsman with a few notches of health left. BZZZZZZZZRT. Goodbye, perfection medal. Oh, and any map on Elite Slayer, since it's made up of all the weapons you ignored in campaign and never took the time to be any good with.

Black Ops: Firing Range. It's a fun map, but I'm getting awful tired of playing it two times in a row, ten times a day.

Bad Company 2: Panama Canal. There are three kinds of people on Panama: those that get tanks, those that stay put, and those that get shot up by campers and tanks. I'm also not crazy about Heavy Metal, since, let's face it, the entire match hinges on who captures the AA gun in the middle, and if your teammates refuse to help you get control of it because they'd rather run up the valley walls and snipe at distances they'll always miss from, it's game over. Oh, and Atacama on any mode, because I know I'm in store for a shitload of walking.

 

[Verlander]

Apparently Perfect Dark and Goldeneye shared some levels...

OT: I don't really play online FPS, but knowing people that do, I assume it's because they like to have the most hardcore fights where they can prove how mega awesome they are. There will always be mass favourites, sometimes based on other criteria, but I'd imagine mostly this

As far as I know it shared one. On Perfect dark they called it 'Felicity'.

Three apparently

 

[SofaEater]

well have you noticed that those are the most popular maps, and that they usually have a descent amount of people, and at certain times, completely full for hours.

I mean if it's our favorite map then you like playing it. So people hop on and off cause normal servers aren't one the map.


most orange maps for me. otherwise I love custom maps.

 

[DSK-]

I don't find any map's boring per say - though Nuketown is such a horrible map in many ways. Why the hell did Treyarch actually include it in the game.

I could never get bored of DM-Rankin. I love that map in UT2004

 

[OliverTwist72]

I'm real happy fo ya, and Imma let you finish. But de_dust is the greatest map of all time!
