Fact: Catacombs was voted the worst/most hated official map in the game

[headbox]

I've played with OP in the past and every time took away that he/she is not a skilled player at all. Things like getting killed by clot grabs and not trying to bash out.

We don't really care what your opinion is. You don't like Catacombs? What the **** is the point? What are you trying to achieve?

I don't dislike Catacombs even if it feels a little claustrophobic to me. But I bet with the body mounted lights that poll may look a bit different.

I like the atmosphere of catacombs most of all. I also think having only commando and zerk with night vision is neat and makes it necessary to have one or both of those classes on your team. With really good teamwork one can hold the spawn. Also to clarify my earlier comment: clandestine is way harder than catacombs, that map is insane. Catacombs isn't that hard. I was just comparing those maps because people dislike them both very much.

Clandestine insane? Uh, not really. I remember it being rather trivial on the 2nd floor of the club with plenty of reaction time and nice, easy choke points.

Of course, by trivial I mean still playable, not trivial like KF-MountainPass, which I consider more of a bad joke that's lasted far too long and nobody laughs at than a map.

The insane maps were the custom maps, KF-WretchedV1, KF-Grevona, KF-DIE, KF-Arcade-Hardcore-FIN come to mind.

Regarding dark maps, it looks like the two new ones are dark as well, so basically suck it up princess. I'm sure if there are wide open areas which require no skill, there won't be any complaints though.

Catacombs is great in terms of design and look, except some tacky decals like the "no smoking" signs, and the fire extinguishers on the walls, which are unnecessarily stupid.

I'm sure the 'tackyness' is tripwires form of a joke. Dumb to you but funny to others

I like Catacombs and Volter Manor is definitely my favourite map so far.

The issue is with catacombs is that the majority of people are always looking for the path of least resistance (it's a natural thing to do) and big open maps like Paris make it easier for the majority of players. The majority of pub players only care about themselves and the open space is extremely forgiving for those that get 'left' with zeds that some teammate has decided to abandon to save their own skin.
Catacombs is extremely narrow and too difficult to accomplish without a team that is dedicated, once **** hits the fan. you have to deal with it quickly because the map is a lot more unforgiving for kiting.
That is my experience anyway.

I found in KF1 people just voted easy maps. Like west london... I wish more people choice to play challenging maps.

My issue with Catacombs is how dark it naturally is with what I find to be a fairly poor lighting system and in general how cramped/"small" it feels.

I much prefer more open maps with more possible routes and areas that let me move around in and have "natural lighting" that doesn't leave me groping for my flashlight even as I'm standing right next to what is supposed to be a good light source.

Yeah it was a challenge to find server running Wyre or Hospital Horrors for instance (on Sui/HoE).

Fire safety is never stupid :0

Yes, we can't afford to have the damp stone walls catching on fire all the time, can we?

You clearly underestimate the valued customer / tourist's innate ability to cause disaster and destruction everywhere they go.
