so basically what makes this map ideal is the quick middle, the open for passes but not easy to clear defensive zone, and the many paths you can take to the goal when you are on offense (it's also nice that there are a ton of passing lanes).
we need another map that plays like may2.

i thought cave was good, but it's too much of a cluster**** when you play 6v6. It would work better 5v5.
while they have their flaws I really like snow and planepark after may2.

Mayhem 2 is universally liked. There's nothing wrong with it imo.

Cave is fine 5v5, but too small for 6v6. Roids would be okay, but all of the action gravitates to the bottom of the map leaving for a somewhat stale game imo.

Snow
Grotto
Roids

In that order, I just enjoy playing on them.

Didn't we do this already?

Okay: darkwar, snow, mayhem2, and maybe cave if you want a 4th.

Edit: all-time favorite = OG mayhem with the tunnels sealed off.

I'm still trying to figure out what's with the cross hate. At first I thought it sucked too, but after playing it, I've found that I liked vertical maps. They add more depth imo.
