Topic: Favorite Maps

How would you rank the FS maps in terms of fun factor for you?

Here's my ranking:

1- Endor Strike Team: This map and its gameplay take top honors from me. This twist on the push style of gameplay is exceptionally well done and requires more strategic decisions from both teams than your average BF map. Also, I just love the probe droid.  smile My only criticism is some of the flag capping tricks that were likely not intended by the devs and need to either be counter-able or removed, especially since they allow the capping of the imp's most critical flags.

2- Escape from Hoth: Great idea to make a map off this scenario. I'm not aware that it's been done before. While it would be nice to be able to manually control the star destroyer's turbolasers, overall an outstanding job.

3- Battle at Taloraan: I'm not familiar with this battle in Star Wars canon, but this all out space battle map has a awesome amount of potential once more players start joining the ranks. Without more than a handful of players on at a time (and players who have more tactical sense of bots for a change) it's hard to judge though. One thing that does mar the playability is the cap ship spawn bug

4 and 5-The two Tatooine maps: both these maps provide an average amount of fun for me, though some parts are more enjoyable to fight through than others. Again, I can see them becoming more enjoyable once we have numerous players and squads fighting down the narrow dusty streets. The rare memorable moments on these maps were indeed when we had a dozen or so players. When you have only 2-5 players on, it becomes a relatively fun ambush game at best and a ATST whining party at worst, particularly on the nearly empty 64 player servers with 3 walkers on 1 side and none on the other.

Re: Favorite Maps

1 Endor. I like all the locations in the map, and the vehicles. It truly is a good layout.
2 Mos Espa. I really like it's location and vehicles (lol...again) and I like the explorable buildings.
3 Taloraan. I think the space battles are AWESOME, and this is just the best free-for-all space so far.
I like the rest of the maps at least as much as taloraan. I hope there are interiors to ships, that would make me cherish space battles so much more.

Re: Favorite Maps

I too like the enterable buildings. I also enjoy climbing around the ship at crash site.

As far as being able to walk around the corridors of the cap ships...that would be awesome, especially if the ships could be boarded. Get some battles going on like the beginning of episode 4.

Re: Favorite Maps

My favorite released map is Mos Espa. It's not only the best map of the mod, it's one of the best maps I've played ever. I love the layout and the sheer beauty of the city. I love to explore the place, finding shortcuts and learning to avoid dead ends. I love the firefight between Imperials in the hills and Rebels in Watto's Junkyard. I love to fight AT-ST walkers in the streets. I love the street combat. I love speeding through the streets in a Combat Speeder. I love running around on roofs like that guy in Assassin's Creed.

My current #1 favorite map, though, is That Combined Arms Map we haven't released to you yet wink .

Re: Favorite Maps

Mos Espa- Vehicles, infantry, pure star wars location, lots of nooks and crannies

Endor Ground- Infantry, some vehicles, defending the outpost, forest (though I dont like the stalemates that occur when the imperials are defending the tree village)

Mos Entha- Hectic Infantry battles, nooks and crannies, cap the flags in any order

Escape from hoth- Um I get to hang out in the hangar, being gunner in a ywing

Taloraan- Can be fun defending the capitol ships
