What is/are your favourite custom map and why

[DAT]

Love all the new maps out in the last few months, but for some odd reason I have revisited ARAD ( and its various forms). Not sure why since I loathed that map for a year. I guess I like playing with beginners and showing them the ropes or sometimes all I have time for is a quick 15 minute battle.

 

[entertainer]

All the combined arms maps, but Kriegstadt the most.

 

[Rak]

Kryukovo rocks my socks.

<3

 

[Nestor Makhno]

Kryukovo rocks my socks.

LOL - I first misread that as "Sucks my Rocks"

BTW - WTH is a Kolno?

*Oh yeah - I remember it - yeah, a lovely looking map - reminds me of a Normandy village.

Krasnybor:

Gets played much too seldom unfortunately, but is very well made IMO.

Also I absolutely love Tcherkassy, Zhitomir Revenge and 1941, though the latter is a bit overplayed lately (seems to be immensely popular on russian servers?)

And Smolensk Stalemate!

 

[EvilHobo]

I absolutely love Kolno.

 

[2fisted]

All time fav: BDJ (do another Moz!)

Current fav: Klin

Most hrs on: Orel (mby Debrechen now?)

Funnest map to inf. support on: Kriegstadt

 

[18Bravo]

I don't think I have a single favorite, but most of my favorites are either tanker or CA. Though I like the Zhitomir versions best for infantry. Orel (most versions), Leningrad, BDJ, Elnya, Arad real forests 3(gotta love making those panthers paranoid of the forests), and Krasnyoktyabir (sp?).

 

[CtR`]

Gorlitz, ParisierPlatz and Krieg... they all have such an epic feel to them. Like you really are fighting to live and win, not just gaming

(I take RO waaaay too seriously)

 

[Vympel]

1.Debrecen
2.Berezina
3.Orel
4.Zhitomir
5.Makhno Village
6.Kauk - Kavkaz

In that order.Generally like any big map with combined arms .

 

[Captain Obvious]

Damn, too many great custom maps out there; some of my favs are Debrecen, Gorlitz, Berezina, Zhitomir, Kryukovo, PariserPlatz, Leningrad, Smolensk Stalemate, Kriegstadt. All of those maps truly immerse me in the RO experience.

 

[Coey]

I still like Maknovo Village the best, Kolno is also up there. I really liked the old version of Smolensk Stalemate.

However, Pariserplatz and Kreigstadt (sp?), the two big Berlin maps I find way too boring to play.

 

[Reddog]

Tula Outskirts, that is before it was destroyed when they modified it for the map pack.

 

[D-Es-C-H]

I like most maps, large and small. But my favourite custom map is one which a lot of people seem to hate, namely Grey Ghosts of War.

On the one hand, I enjoy that kind of fast-and-furious close-quarters combat. Epic maps and sophisticated tactics are nice, but every now and then I just want to cut loose.

On the other hand, that map's atmosphere is positively nightmarish--like two armies of damned souls in Hell, locked together in meaningless combat, forever.

The more recent Town of Fallen Heroes has a lot of the same atmosphere, and seems to elicit the same strong negative reactions from some players. But I think it still needs work--there's way too much smoke in the current version.

 

[Shurek]

Waaaay too many favorite maps to list sensibly, but I'll try:

Stock maps -

• Ogledow (sentimental favorite: first stock map I played online)
• Barashka (yeah, go ahead and flame away)

Custom Maps -

• Makhnovo Village (another sentimental favorite; first custom I ever played, and Nestor was there taking feedback )
• Berezina (or pretty much anything Slyk has made)
• Orel, BDJ, and Debrecen (tankers trio of doom)
• Leningrad,Pariserplatz,Kriegstadt (the urban trio of doom)
• Kolno, Gorlitz, Riga Docks (most beautiful)
• Dubrava (great atmosphere, but sadly underplayed)

In any case, my hats off to anyone who spends the time to put a decent scenario together and see it through until the end.

Keystone created very simple, but so beautiful (gameplay and graphics wise) maps - Debrecen and Pripyat. Slashbot's Orel (and especially LdG version) is also a great map.
I really like Slyk's TW, Elnya, Klin and Berezina. Elnya is one of my top-favourites now
Dreck's Lazur is a urban masterpiece.
Vidzeme looks and plays good; so does KrasnyjBor.
Nestor's Mahnovo is a great map - I'd play it now, but most of the servers don't have it I really had a blast when both teams knew what were they doing - I just can't wait to try out Dofinovka.
Also, guys, remember Kuzernki? That map is on par with Mahnovo - it has terrific gameplay, if teams consist of normal players. I've modified it with Stug3B, but not sure if it's right to upload it somewhere - I had no permission of ViViD to do that.

I've never liked PariserPlatz, so I haven't played it for long time ago, but yesterday I gave it a look on an empty server- man, it has changed a lot! So I'm waiting to test it on a full server - there are good chances I'll like it
Also, Kreigstadt. Mega-map, can't wait to try out Beta 3!

 

[stigmata]

Berenzina. It just keeps getting better.


Gorlitz. Classic infantry vs tank map. If you are the Russian team you better work together or you are going nowhere.

 

[Moz]

Don't know how anyone could like BDJ, the map plays like crap.

Also, I haven't posted in like 5 months.

What's up?

 

[TT33]

Combined arms:
1. RO-KRIEGSTADT!!!!!!
2. RO-Pariserplatz
3. RO-Konigsplatz
4. RO-Berenzina 1941
5. RO-Gorlitz- very underplayed map

Tank maps:
1. RO-Orel 88 vs 76 ( and the 88 vs 76 without Clown cars)
2. RO-Debrecen

Infantry only maps:
......... ??

Why simple these are all large teamplay oriented maps not just run gun or frag. Forces people to pair up for example any of you guys remember Karl Stiner's Battle groups on Orel or balck day july-? Good gameplay!
Small maps are for lone wolf arcade game guys in my opinion.

Don't know how anyone could like BDJ, the map plays like crap.

It's okay, I agree with you.
