Best Custom Maps?

starvey

I know "best custom maps" is a bit of a subjective topic question...

But from the NS server ops point of view, whats maps have you found that your users will actually take the time to go out of their way to DL, and then play on? I love the stock map rotation, but I'm looking to grab one or two of the more popular 3rd party maps.

Although I'm open for any recommendations right now. I'm keeping my server as a closed clan server for another week or two, while we work out the bugs, and settle on which Admin/meta mods we want. (Currently: Unstuck, and the Spider Monkey mod for experimentation... Hey it's private, we like to mess around..)

i've spent most of my time cruising around playing on custom map only servers and i've found that ns_lost, ns_europa, and ns_atomicmass are really good.

ns_claris (don't remember actual name) just flat out sucks imo too confining as onos and then there is that long walk way all around the map which sucks if you are an alien and the marines decide to build siege there <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->

atomicmass, lost, europa.

Epoch

Hmm, I really don't like ns_lost. It just seems... so thrown randomly together. My favorites are ns_europa, ns_11th_hr121, ns_aromicmass21.

11th hour is good, but when I play it I feal small, those computers look so big. Definatly not a quick or newbie map, but something not very well thought out.

You should check out the latest version of that map. Its called ns_vint002. You can play it on our servers if you want to see it.

Of all of the custom maps I've run on my server, none draw players in like missilecommand_final3.

I don't like the map. It's a gimmic map. The entire thing being one giant shaft. The aliens spawn up high on a shelf, the marines spawn down on the floor. Aliens try to reach the floor without being shot or falling to their deaths. Marines tech up as fast as they can to get jetpacks and HMG's and then fly up and kill the hives.

It's fun for the first few minutes or so, much like the TFC map boob. (TFC deathmatch map, all civillians, umbrella fest)

But by god it draws players in.

I do like the new iteration of napo... It's gotten darker and better as it gets older.

Cilrais and Lost are my favorites. We play misslecommand occasionall when we just want to mess around, that map is so much fun to just kill and not worry about strat.
