Best map: ns_nancy. Although I have to admit that they broke my heart when unnamed got named <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />
Worst map: ns_veil (yeah, start throwing rocks) I just simply dont like it. It plays dull and is only fun for aliens when you play SC.
The first map i actually played was bast back in 2003 when 2.0 had just been released, so i guess it has a special place for me. Yes it is unbalanced (but not as much as people think imho) but i had fun being a fade in that map and still do.
Best ns map.... (drumroll) ns_tanith, yes tanith. whenever i play it I usually seem to play a game thats NOT over i five minutes, which i find regrettably happens on veil and eclipse too often. visually its beautiful, but above all i LOVE its layout. Long, hard-fought games are always likely because there are 5 rts that aliens usually get secured if they start in sat/fusion (acid, sat, fusion, cargo, chem). and if they start in waste there is an early and frenzied fight over double res while small numbers of marines and aliens quietly try to secure the other side of the map.
Perhaps cargo is a bit too instrumental in the map, but thats my only complaint.
Metal is also awesome.
Co maps are all the same to me, dont play them.... dont wanna derail the topic so lets just leave it at that.
ns_mine the simple map with a nice double concept. ns_agora large and interesting map. co_rebirth the unique map where marines won holding in the base.
