Poll: What types of maps do YOU look for? | Forums

[Agent00Kevin]

I have seen a wide range of map syles, from course maps to sniper maps to close combat maps. Small maps, Large maps, indoor maps, outddor maps, so many choices.

So, I created this thread so we could all see what the general consensus is. Myself, I try to steer away from the jungle maps and city blocks, though I do play them sometimes and a few are really fun.

The 1st question is hard.
I'm more interested by maps with quite complex structures (but easy to navigate) than natural maps (both can be interesting to play, but custom structures are more interesting than randomly generated jungles) for example, the kind of maps built by JC Karlo or Mikk Q (even if I'm not sure how they all play, I like the style)

the 2nd question is easier :
smaller, faster paced maps (but I don't like spawnkill fests)

[Agent00Kevin]

I agree with you Fauch, it was a hard one. I dont really choose which maps I want to play, I play whatever is out there. But if I had to pick one kind, my choice would be indoor maps.

Also, im not asking this to make a map that caters to everyone, in case anyone is wondering. I will keep doing what I have been doing regardless of the results.

I like all kinds of maps. I also like them to maintain a fast pace with some options to how you play it.

I would prefer to play on a well thought out design that works as hard on the gameplay as it does the looks.

you have to keep in mind as well that there are also means of navel and strategy maps though most do not play out as they are designed though as an expert map designer not only in far cry but many other games i pride myself on designing maps that for the player to obay certain criteria though i'm not talking as one of thoughs semi quazi half assed map designer i put very much detail in to my maps and do not just throw random junk in and call it a map i know to many people who do that it agravates me but anyways alot of times a good map is really based on a persons personal prefferance and really that can change daily thats why i make wide veriaty of maps expanning from small to enormous
so really there is not a specific type of map people like because it will always change basically you have to just design good maps that have a point and the people who like thoughs kind of maps will play them

And so far, the poll results reflect what you said. I kinda figured that anyway, just thought this might be a fun thread for people.

Good questions.
As result show, people mostly like small outdoor maps. Same as I do.

Very Good Poll

I am pleasantly Surprised at the Percentage in Favour of Outdoor Maps.

These are what I Like and Make.

Also like the Hunter and Hunted type.

This Poll should help a lot of people make better Maps, although the Niche ones definately have their place.

I am also a fan of using objects as what they are.

IE... a Barge is a Barge... not part of an Alien Spaceship etc (just my view)

That said.. There are a lot of Very Good Maps out there like that, I just prefer
to use the objects as what they are

If you do another Poll or Change this one, I would be interested to see the percentages for Reality (or something like) versus Unreality

Cheers Battyjus

Hey battyjus, feel free to start your own poll here. I like to participate when I see one, but I dont create them very often.

I have yet to check out SUPER SNIPERHUNT, as I dont usually play maps in that style. I did play one the other night, and had fun stlking through the foliage with my spas 12...hehehe. Next time I see it up on a server I'll jump in.

Lol thats truth Becasue I dont like notorius campers&snipers, I sometime enter sniper map and hunt down all of them with assault rifle just to show them what's what
