Friendly reminder guys, I would of put more maps on there if I could however you are only allowed up to 10 polling options which fitted perfectly as there are 10 official maps
I actually prefer ns2_jambi now. Probably because all others have been overplayed, but still, jambi has turned out to be one of the best maps around imo. But since it's not in the list, tram it is.

I voted for tram because I feel like games on tram are the most dynamic of any map. Even when winning, I never feel like I can sit back and relax. There are many strategic possibilities, and less opportunity for cheese. When someone gets a come from behind victory on tram, they earned it.
Poor Docking, ain't getting no love, to be honest I prefered the old version of docking! Tram and Veil seems to be the favourite so far, what's wrong with Summit!

cos @Loki told me to. Just j/king. Interesting visual theme on the map. I like Biodome as well. More unusual map shape (and placement of tech points). I only play pub, and it makes for interesting strats (only because ppl haven't figured the optimum strat yet). Hard to get this map voted in rotation, but when it is on, I generally have a decent game (if teams aren't stacked to high heaven).
Funny that Mineshaft isn't liked by many, despite beeing apparently more balanced than others: http://ns2stats.com/map/map/94 (could also come from less statistical data).
Balance != Fun

Repair - Cave close spawn.
Mineshaft is fine, but why on earth it is so dark?
Its not the darkness thats the problem with mineshaft, its that pesky compressor in crusher, it has claimed many gorge lives.... RIP fattys
For competitive matches, I'd say Summit

@Yojimbo have you played Kodiak. Holy crap... Phantom rules the middle of the map.
Maybe you should activate atmospheric. It's another world.
To me, docking isn't even docking anymore. They've changed it so much that the map is unrecognizable and STILL no one likes it.
First iteration of docking was epicsauce.
