I am going to be adding a few custom Maps to our server, and was wondering if anyone has seen a Custom Map Rating somewhere out there on the Great Big Internet...

I will be adding one new map everyweek..I will also add the Maps to out Website for Download to help in the transition..

Any Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks as always..

user preference, chuck a whole bunch of customs up and implement a map vote system or something - otherwise choose them yourself and check these forums every could of days for new map releases.

add sherman2 i dare you.

If you ask that question here then you have to remember youre asking mappers.

If you want players opinions on the best customs maps then www.kustomkettle.com (http://www.kustomkettle.com) and www.mikesmarauders.com (http://www.mikesmarauders.com) are good places to ask around.

Another easy answer is to just look at all the servers on your Steam list, and see what customs are being played the most (Sort the servers by the maps they are playing).

Are you asking what the most popular customs are, or are you asking what are the best custom maps? The two don't always go hand in hand.

Agreed..

They don't always Jive.. Unfortunately It is a Service and we have to please the customer to have players..

Thanks for the Input so Far!!

dod_factory
dod_nordwind_b3
dod_density_b3 (b4 is out but it seems imbalanced)
dod_advance / dod_solitude_b2
dod_carta2
dod_heutau_b1

I don't see how, I hardly changed it. It plays better than b3, more like how I intended it and it seems a lot more balanced on servers that I've played it on. Its really balanced TBH and it comes down to player skill.

I find it much easier to defend as an axis soldier in b4. The narrow bridge is much easier to get nades onto in b4 because a wall was removed. This allows axis soldiers to throw nades onto the bridge without exposing themseleves to fire. This makes seizing the narrow bridge especially difficult because the cap time is longer then a 5 second grenade fuze. Also in b4, the 88 seems much more effective which makes the brits lives miserable.

I do like a few of the changes in b4 such as the new route to the last tank (through the building) and the changes made to the window ledge (brit left route).

I think most of my suggestions have been done already, so let me "echo" some of those:

dod_advance (my personal custom fave of the moment)
dod_railroad2
dod_snowcity_v3 (though it crashes our server for some reason that I can't determine)
dod_veghel_b3
dod_tiger2 (small and furious)
dod_bayeux_b1
dod_density_b4

to name a few...
