With an organized bunch of rebels it isn't too bad. Even with AP mines everywhere.

- One team to the rope bridge. Since AP mines can be set where detpacks can't get em, lots of medics and a SL who stays back helps here...and patience.

- Another team up the spiral walkway where u can cap the flag without being on the platform. Heavy Weapons and support get this job. The support guy takes out the ap mines along the way and the heavy weapons guy lays down the shield to protect themselves while capping

- the last squad takes the 2 speeders from camp and zoom up to the platform off one of the hills.

Of course I'm yet to see a server big enough to have this many squads let alone have them all working together...but in small games getting to the top is relatively easy. I typically try each of the above. If one fails I switch tactics and try the next.

Re: Favorite Maps

Mos Entha is my favorite for some reason.
Its donkey kong 9000 , just like mos espa, but the crashed corvette
in the center of the map gives some of the best sniping spots ever seen.

Re: Favorite Maps

1) Escape from Hoth, I just love the space maps though can be frsutrating to see people jumping in a transport and then trying to drive it off the edge of the map cause they dont know where to go. Still, flying ROCKS!

2) Endor Strike Team, Beautiful map and a lot of fun. Get some good squads on either team and the imps can either hold an area for ages or the rebels can stomp all over them. This really does force teamwork and communication.

3) Tatooine Mos Espa, Great level and love running through the city. As has been said it gets dull when you have ATST campers with only about four people on. Another level that rely's on team work and squads to dominate.

4) Battle of Taloraan, again for the flying but this one really needs a bigger player base before it becomes fun, otherwise everyone ends up in a cap ship and then it takes forever to get anywhere and the action becomes stale and repetitive.

5) Mos Entha, this for me is really just somewhere you run round in circles recapping one after the other, especially when there are only a few on. Gets a bit boring at times, but if you leave the server there is more chance of everyone else leaving. Stay on and you have a better chance of other people joining a busy server.

I guess these will all change with r2 since there will be nice shiny new maps etc to play with and it may bring back some of the player base.

Re: Favorite Maps

The problem isn't the small player base, the problem is the lack of servers running 16 player maps. 32 and 64 versions aren't made for 3 people.

Re: Favorite Maps

How does the Battle of Yavin compare to the current maps?

The map that doesn't make my favorite list is EST mostly because of the last friggin Imp that won't kill himself... kinda boring when you're a dead imp waiting 10 minutes for some lamer to get shot

Re: Favorite Maps

I like the close combat maps the most and out of them my obvious choice is tatooine mos espa.
there are lots of great sniping spots for sharpshooters and tons of debris to hide behind nearby most of the flags. also the squad spawn beacon is great for the empire on this map. i love spwaning behind enemy flags lol.
