Anyone care to post a list with pics of the maps? Or is there a place to go to see all of them? Sometimes I cannot put a face to the name or forget the names.

Thx!

Here you go.   I like Baltic, Mindnao and Northco because they a real-world locations, and Buster's maps (FjordMA, Oceania, Riftval) for the realistic terrain features and crossable bridges.   Least favorite maps are Buzzsaw and SmPizza.




I think it would be cool if the maps could be more different from each other.  I know we can do snow terrains and different tree types (palm vs mixed hardwoods) but I'd like to see special buildings or objects unique to the terrains (Old World cathedrals vs Oriental Palaces, for example).   Hydro-electric dams, waterfalls, etc would be pretty cool features.

Mindanao,

Always seems to generate some huge three way fight in the area of a2.  Gv guys don't care for it, not sure why.

Northco

NDIsles

Usually good fights to found on the center island.

Compello, Trinity, large map with a lot of ocean and some islands in center that I no longer remember the name too.


I like those maps because you had to put in some time to reach the strats, and they were not up a 163 base's arse.  I know why they were pulled, but doesn't mean they still are not my fav's.

Great map all around. One of my favs. CV battles, a place where all 3 teams can meet, excellent base layout. Wish some bases were closer tho.

The east side of Baltic really has some great fights. One of my favorite sections of any map.

Crazy to see all of the maps. Thanks for posting, Oboe!

Can't tell ya last time I've flown one of those new maps. Fjord, montis, ritftvall, Northco... never see them on the weekends. Northco and fjord look cool tho just haven't played them much.

ND Isles

And if I am lucky ..northco..the latter is a good American wee hours of the morning map..alas it is not there much at that time... I think 3 times since it was introduced j

CraterMA

The fights at v150 are as good as it gets when you have 20-30 people in that little bowl with just enough mountains to confine everyone. Yet even with just a handful of skilled players this tiny little vbase with 2 guns has to be the cream of the crop. The ground game is a lot of fun there too but I prefer to gunship B-17's and bomb**** to pad a score

Pizza and Buzzsaw, because they piss off the player base more than I ever could

The old maps are first, NDisles, baltic then Mindnao. There is always something going on on these maps, maybe not the action Im looking for but at least they have action. I think I would put BowlMA in this group too.

I dont think I have ever had a chance to play Fjord, Oceana, or Northco. All three look interesting.

The rest are ok, Crater and buzzsaw should be retired for now unless the trees could be removed from the crater to bring back that GV area of crater back.

I *think* Buster's maps have micro-terrain features which are especially good for GV combat.   In the older maps, terrain elevation changes are at a larger scale, so the terrain is less undulating.  AFAIK it was Buster who made bridges (outside of the ones in towns) crossable.   

I seem to have FPS problems in CraterMA - it cuts my FPS in half from 90 to 45.   I have to disable shadows on that map.   I think its related to the type of clouds.
