I run three servers. One or two vanilla and a server exclusively for custom maps. I think the key to custom maps is to pick a rather small rotation of maps you really like and play them for a while, and then make small alterations to the list. We generally play on hard instead of suicidal/HoE so we can make up for the inexperience of surplus crew, but playing a custom map with strangers can be a very painful, if short, experience.

I find Custom map a LOT more easy than stock map 85% of the time, and thus a lot more cooler for perk leveling.
i spent big time leveling on stock, just to find tere are easy custom map (i wont name them) where you just sit there and kill / burn / hack at incoming specimen.

powerleveling much. Guess i'll finish my perk there.

Custom maps are a MUST after youve spend so many hours on the game. I do still play the stock maps too but if there were no custom content at all I dont think I would still be here.

I've still got EvilSanta'sLair on Suicidal to get, but i play custom maps exclusively now.


Except i'm quite sick of HappyHour, Arcade ShoppingCentre, Arcade PetrolStation, and other oft-played maps winning out over more challenging maps.

Though KF-Bank is a bit too challenging, for a disorganised and disjointed team as the denizens of the KFL server :eek:

I helped during the testing phase of that, it's good.

My mate Eskarn made that, if i'm not mistaken.
It's like a better version of Defence. :D

There are good custom maps, but there are also a lot of total ****. If you put all whitelisted maps on your server, then the list will be so huge, that map list loading, finding and choosing the map sometimes takes time longer than server timeout before auto-load next random map. Btw, is there some console command to vote for a map?

So I'm suggesting to put only good custom maps in server list. Here are maps I like:
Aventine (imo the best custom map ever build, hardcore gameplay, tough one, good visuals)
Chthon (great visual, but too easy)
Constriction
CornerMarket_v3 (small, very tough)
Crystal-LakeV1-7a (in memory of Jason Voorhees ;))
Grimpen (beautiful marshland map, excelent visuals, but too big to be played by non-zerkers - up to 400m distance to trader)
HarbourV3
Swamp
TheLongDarkRoad (map is good both for zerking and camping, and also for camping as zerkers ;))
