Overplayed/underplayed Maps?
Well, this isn't about any server in particular.
I am just making a thread on what maps do you guys think are overplayed?
(I am not sure what to post this in)
What I think are overplayed.
1.Muttrah City.
-I find this map overplayed. At least it's constantly in the votes. I think the Creator did a phenomenal job making it, it really deserves an cookie. But It's just overplayed. It would be a GREAT map if it were not played every 4 rounds.
2.Saaremaa.
-Honestly, this is my favorite map in 1.0 so far. (heh, I didn't say 1.1)
It's a great setting. It's a good map. It's fun. It's constantly played though. I have seen it played a few times on a server... I think like 3 times?
It's fun after like 5-7 rounds of other maps. But, my computer can't handle that many rounds.
3.Al-Barasah.
-Yup. I said it. This is based on my opinion. Really is a OP map though. I have seen the Insurgents and Blu-For balanced. But It gets annoying after 4 rounds a day on it. It's always admins...
(Example) WARNING MATTY1053, STOP SHOOTING INTO ENEMY MAIN!!
When I am insurgent, I am killed approx. 4 times while I am in main. By Brit's firing inside from where ever.
I wish you could see the DOD of the British Main though. It would be useful.
4.Ramiel.
-I love the ARF on it. But It's just OP. It's like Al-Barasah gameplay wise. It's pretty balanced. I would not mind to see it played less. Insurgency is very fun. I think it's better then the AAS layout.
5.Vietnam Mini-Mod.
This does not include every map.
I find this constantly OP. It's boring after like 5 rounds in one day. This is on my opinion. It's nothing else to say. It's just OP. in my point of view.
Maps I think are underplayed.
1...Burning Sands.
It's a great map. For INS as well. Really has good tactics. Good for starting players. Mixed for Infantry and Assets. But most of all... best combat for Desert in PR.
2...Iron Ridge.
Don't really know why people hate this map.
On INS it's pretty easy, pretty balanced as well.
On AAS, it's basically simple. Have a good squads. use transport to the max.
3...Asad Khal.
Bash my head for saying this, but I think this is one of my fave maps for playing.
It has sweet infantry combat. Very balanced in my P.o.V.
Good tactics will win. Easy for new players!
4...Lashkar Valley.
Well, I find this map one of the better INS maps. Really does have that Afghanistan Feeling to it. Caches are easy to defend, and it's just overall a good map. I think it's perfect for players of any taste.
5...Kozelsk.
Definently Underplayed. Wish it would be in votes more often. Yes tactics can be 'simple' but it's good in every way. It's assets are good. Wouldn't mind seeing 2 tanks for the Militia though. But it's a good map to truly show how cool INF combat is in the forest.
6...Dragon Fly.
Amazing map. Really does have that feeling of being in Chechnya. Does prove how cool INF combat is in Urban Enviorments.
This is a discussion thread about the OVERPLAYED AND UNDERPLAYED maps.
What MAP do you guys think is OP and/or Underplayed?
**I love PR and it's maps. If I had about 4 hours left of life, if I was dying in a hospital. I would force the hospital to bring my PC to the hospital and let me play PR one last time. (That reached the Dev's hearts. I just know it)
But this is based on my opinion.
Devs, if you think this thread is annoying or useless feel free to track my IP Address and shank me.**

re: Overplayed/underplayed Maps?
while what you said may be true sometimes but for server admins it's all about voting , so if ppl just played good maps and become OP this is bad ?
also ppl started to annoy the admins i think before 1.0 to change the map list to a map that is not that OP , you know what happen ? ppl quit .
im not saying that some maps are bad , NO .
what im saying is some maps require more Teamwork than what can be delivered by ppl on the server .
therefore ppl tend to rage quit or teamswtich ,and so on the server die.

1) Asad Khal
2) Muttrah after Asad Khal
3) Kashan after Muttrah
4) Al Basrah after Kashan
Typical day of my playing PR when most part of servers becomes full. NOt so funny to play only 4 maps every day

re: Overplayed/underplayed Maps?
Good admins do not do mapvotes and set maps based on the last time they were played on the server. You rarely see this today though.
Muttrah is never overplayed IMO. It does not matter how often I see Muttrah running somewhere, I join right away. Best map ever, could play it day and night
How can the Vietnam Mod be OP? I rarely see someone playing it. I am no big fan of it though aswell but I would not say it is OP. It is rather UP.

I have played PR about 6 months now and I have played only once Charlies Point and Hill 488. Muttrah city almost once a day, Al basrah 4-6 times per week.BlazeItFeget wrote:Al Basrah

Khamisiyah, black gold, kashan desert are played too often.
We need more (new) maps. There are loads of maps in arsenal, but most of them needs a little update. Could it be possible devs?

It's hard to find the server that does not do map votes.
Wouldn't mid seeing hog do no map votes.
I want to play more of
Bihar canyons. (I had best rounds in 1.0 so far.)
Shijia Valley. My fave. At least in my top ten faves.
Burning sands. Definently #3 of my fave maps
Marlin INS+AAS
very good. Really makes the French faction nice.
DETROIT TIGERS

i think you'll find they are played very evenly, but all servers have their favorites.

Devs have broken insurgency in the most recent patch so I imagine you'll be playing the same maps a lot more

Saaremaa, because it's a "first who spots, gets the upper hand"
It's just running in woods and 99% of the time one team is much, much better than the other one.
Most of the time you're just shooting blank in the trees before whole of your squad get's rambo'd by one guy hidden in the trees.
I expected much more from this map, but it's horrible and over-hyped imho, and I tried to like it, but every round is the same.
There's not much nuance in Saaremaa.
Muttrah is okay for me. Most of the rounds are the same, the two teams just fight over the area near the gas-station and mosque. T-buildings campers in the windows. But still, it got some structure in it.
But let's not play it every two rounds.
Black Sands (?) the one with GB and China. It's suggested a lot.
Operation Marlin. I like insurgency on it. AAS is meh..

re: Overplayed/underplayed Maps?
This thread is pointless IMO. Every map played is voted for, therefore, it's not up to the admins what map we play, it's up to the community. Obviously the community ( except you ) prefer to play these maps the majority of the time, or we would be playing something different. I always see different maps on the mapvote, it's just that no one ever votes for them . The majority speaks every mapvote.
Of coarse the admins have the power to put different maps that aren't played much in the rotation without vote, and it has been done before. But people leave the server because it isn't the map they want to play or they just aren't familiar with it. So the admins do the vote and the majority are happy.

And now, we wait.....

Problem isn't the votes, i think the alternatives in it is almost allways good but people tend to vote for mainstream maps. I'd love to see some more Black Gold INS, Op Ghost Train and Yamalia in the rotation.
