[ST-EU] Admiral_noodle Supertest Coordinator 6,337 posts 4,395 battles Report post #1 Posted August 3, 2015 Couldn't see a thread on this... So what maps do you love and hate? I do well on new dawn, love that map. Ocean is well, ocean. I like two brothers and get some success there, while big race is kind of hit and miss, rapidly. North is ok as well. Hot spot - don't seem to see it that often, but i struggle with what to do, and if my team is similarly indecisive, it's an insta loss. My most hated map is fault line. I can never work out how to play that map in a cruiser! Oh and where has islands of ice gone? I was just getting decent on that map and now it seems to have wandered off... What about you? P.s. WG. More maps please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orree Beta Tester 145 posts Report post #4 Posted August 3, 2015 I kind of like Two Brothers the most. The middle passage can make things exciting at times. Hot Spot is probably my least favorite because it seems like it's usually a one-sided whitewash. Islands of Ice is a close second,,,too restrictive,,,kind of a DDs paradise and I don't play DDs...heheh. I also don't like Ocean. I have a hard time shooting on that map...hurts my eyes for some reason...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TRYIT] wremise Beta Tester 263 posts 3,333 battles Report post #5 Posted August 3, 2015 i hate ocean... that map is just "sniping" at max range for ~10 min, then you are attacking, you die, cause everyone is aiming at you.. so you have to stay in the back and fire all your cannons, then after ~1 min you turn 180° and so on...

[SCRUB] Loran_Battle Beta Tester 1,245 posts Report post #6 Posted August 3, 2015 Hot spots is kind of annoying. I like what they tried to do with the diagonal spawn, but it doesn't really work in my opinion. Two Brothers is ok most of the time... But it is too prone to draws. I actually like the Ocean map a lot though. Haven't seen Islands of Ice in some time.... Almost seems they removed it for now? Used to dislike that map, but that was because of all the invisible islands all over the place. They fixed that and since then I really like that map.

[ST-EU] OldGrandad Supertester 3,404 posts 35,711 battles Report post #7 Posted August 3, 2015 Hated? Hot Spot. What idiot thought it would be a good idea to split a team? It has the layout to be a good map but unfortunately throw a human decision on layout into it and it becomes a poor map to play on. Favourite? Two Brothers. Never a battle where it is a foregone conclusion. Action all the way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BNBS] Sybeck Players 466 posts 11,502 battles Report post #8 Posted August 3, 2015 I hate Fault Line. If you're a BB then you have to endlessly patrol up and down the start line till it's safe to cross through the middle section without being ambushed by DDs or IJN CAs or a CVs TBs lieing in wait for you to pass through a channel. I do not have a #1 love map, it depends on what class I'm sailing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rambe Beta Tester 115 posts 657 battles Report post #10 Posted August 3, 2015 Island of Ice is still in rotation, got it couble times with my tier VI and every time theres been tier IX in match, so I think they just restrict it to hightier. Most of maps are kinda nice, I only have one map I really hate: Ocean, that thing is so darn big draw magnet, 20min sniperduel because there is no cover to use, or other option is lemmingstrain around mapedge so you don't get focused by whole enemy team. Hot Spots is kinda annoying from time to time but it's still better than Ocean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAD_3R_Marauder Beta Tester 296 posts 3,892 battles Report post #11 Posted August 3, 2015 Most "hated": Hotspots takes the cake, since it is crap no matter _what_ I drive, not actually the map, but the set-up - complete idiocy. If I am in a BB, Fault Line is a pain in the backside - oh, and Ocean, can´t hit a bloody thing at long range, can´t estimate enemy´s speed, hurts my eyes (seems like some haze or something). Only good when I am in my Minekaze and the enemy is stupid (which he often is) and there are no more than 1 hostile CV. Other than that, the maps are kinda ok, don´t think I have a favorite.

[THROW] urzusevenxl Beta Tester 69 posts Report post #14 Posted August 3, 2015 Most liked map Two brothers you just never know how the battle will develop. Most hated map Hotspot in a game that is meant to promote `teamwork` this one quite literally breaks said team up.Just horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CactuarLOL Players 115 posts 411 battles Report post #15 Posted August 3, 2015 My favorite is the two brothers map, theres always so much room for a quick change of strategy which changes the flow of the battle completely. As for least favorite, I don't really know the names of the maps but the one where each team is split into two starting on different sides of the map, that one never ends up any fun. The big empty ocean map can suck real bad too, especially if you are in a ship with a short firing range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DtXpwnz Beta Tester 1,160 posts 377 battles Report post #16 Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) HotSh*t all the way. And I also really don't like Fault Line. Everytime I see HotSh*t loading, I am like "Why the **** do I have to play this ******* ****, **** this!" And favourite map? I don't know, I kinda like Big Race (because this map usually means sealclubbing), but I alos like Two Brothers, North, New Dawn and even Arctic map. All maps except HotSh*t and Fault Line are fun to play. Edited August 3, 2015 by DtXpwnz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C04L Beta Tester 57 posts 863 battles Report post #17 Posted August 3, 2015 for me they are pretty good, not much into ocean, cept in my minekaze. i miss the map you used to get at t1,2,3 but never seen it after cbt. was green n sunny. tried to find a pic but nothin on google. I'd love to see more. How about we all submit a mspaint of a map we'd love to sea. :-) infact, why dont WarGaming set up a competition for the community to submit one plan of the ideal map they'd love to see and WG could judge and make it a reality? how about it moderators, could you suggest it?

[ST-EU] Admiral_noodle Supertest Coordinator 6,337 posts 4,395 battles Report post #18 Posted August 3, 2015 Nice idea! Just got an epic win with 5 ships sunk and 90k damage in Murmansk. 141 hits Surprise surprise on my favourite map, new dawn. I think new dawn used to be green and then has been amended to be more moidy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TKFF Alpha Tester 1,565 posts 403 battles Report post #21 Posted August 4, 2015 I dislike Hot Spot. The map itself is good, but the spawns are very bad, I hope WG changes it. Also, Ocean just seems boring to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canuckster Players 150 posts 1,586 battles Report post #22 Posted August 4, 2015 I dislike big race, basically if you get idiot cruisers who like to yolo up to the NE corner without BB protection the game is lost, or BBs going into DD alley there as well. I can understand why it would be a map for tier 1-2-3 but no higher than that. The same reason why you never see Provence above tier three in WOT. It just doesn't work at high tiers. Hotspot could use a rework, get rid of the double spawn, the layout of the map is fantastic. Maps like twin brothers could maybe be better for a double spawn, since every game I go into there usually involves both teams going counter clockwise or clockwise and it just ends up being a race of who can cap first. Maybe not use standard battle mode on it, only Domination, since that makes teams usually go both ways. I love the Ocean map since that's what naval battles were, I think the map could be better though if it was circular, or heck even ovular rather than square. The following is an idea I've had for a map shortly after I started playing the game Basically a Domination map, one team starts at A, the other C, whichever team holds A or C gets use of the auto fire anti aircraft cannons placed on the island next to it. If the team captures B, the anti aircraft cannons on the island they hold become upgraded. The islands are also almost completely flat allowing cruisers and battleships to fire upon the DDs likely trying to cap area B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-5D-] Hannibalurg Beta Tester 950 posts Report post #25 Posted August 4, 2015 Hot Spots must be reworked or removed. Love the rest of the maps. Ocean is fun, because it's actually the most realistic map in the map pool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
