Thread: Most Hated Maps!!!

I have rethought my hatred for Tampa.

I think my biggest beef with Tampa was the constant running from map to map cap/re-cap.

But I've modified my play of this map lately, and rather be a flag hopper, I set in on the gas station to defend the flag. I can't believe how much a difference this makes.

Its actually an enjoyable map when played in this fashion.

Thanks to my squad leader (who i cant remember) for suggesting this strategy.

Beh, everyone does that, but Gas is a really bad CP to try to hold. Hills and trees to the immediate north that block most of your sight picture, the rock outcroppings south that do the same; both southern CP's have an APC, while Gas only has one AA immediately available on that side (the tank that spawns does so late, and then you have to drive it down and expose it to fire from Refinery AND Kuhlaz, and anything else that comes from the US main down the road; besides, it's usually sequestered by someone for something and driven off). Worst of all, there's no cover against arty, and multiple ingress routes that can't all be covered all the time, unless you fancy giving the snipers a free kill.

No, Tampa should be played from the turret of a tank. Learn how the shell arcs and have some good ol' fashioned long-range tank duels in that beautiful open desert. Best stuff in the world. :4

My worst map is Wake, because the US loses if they never take Airfield. Every time. Without fail. If they do take Airfield, the Chinese lose, 99.995% of the time. And to boot, there's no capability for tactical movement because of the way the island is designed; you get to pick north or south, and everyone knows where you are and how to get to you the instant you touch a flag. Either that, or you try to bum-rush the middle in an FAV or the like. Blech.

Second worst is Karkand, for many of the same reasons; the US gets funneled down 3 distinct pathways, and any MEC team that isn't half-asleep wins by default. Either you take the over-hill route and get nade-spammed to death at the road junction (or Vodnik-spammed, as the case may be), or run right down the middle road towards Hotel into the nade-spam, or try the ever-so-daring drive down the train tracks to the backfield in an APC, which will net the engineers that have every single ramp mined to perdition and back a tasty set of explosives kills.

Now Mashtuur and Songhua, those are maps done right...

For some reason, I can't ever load Wake Island, so I always get kicked off TTP and gotta sit on my hands for 30 or so minutes while the map is played through. SO I HATE WAKE. lol.
I think everyone can agree (maybe not the fly boys) that clean sweep sucks when the US forces have no Island bases. Happened yesterday. 200 to 0!!!!

i hate kubra dam

I hate Tampa because there are little portection.

I usually try to go for comanding on this one to make it more fun....at least beats going from chinese hq to fish factory and back .

Songhua stalemate is quickly becoming one of my favorite maps... I love the Hills, and the trees; all the varying terrain makes for interesting battles.

I really don't have a map i don't like. You just have to figure out what kits will work for you on which maps. When you know what kits will work it makes it even more enjoyable. But if i had to pick a worse it would be karkand only because that's the map I play the most on so it bores me. That's why I like the rotating maps that TTP has setup.
