1 is a car deathmatch map

2 is anther car deathmatch map with power ups and secret areas

3 is a stunt map with a huge hill to climb (for the mountain climbers )

Map preference is down to taste the same as anythign else is. So your question is impossible to answer definitively.

As for your maps sucking that may well be because they are the same as almost every other user-made one being churned out. Try to come up with some original ideas and situations for them.

Ok... basically I am a person (especially in racing mode) that have really long races, or dog-eat-dog type races. I would also like to see more skill based ones like Blow The Dam. A couple more Destruction Derby ones would be good too.

I know alot of people hate them, but it's getting booooring watching the same people (including me) winning the same race over and over again. In Destruction Derby, it's the player who survives from exploding barrels, and the edge. It's a difficult one. Blow The Dam requires very fine-tuned skill to maintain your motorbike's stability and your hovercrafts level.

Please avoid Aircraft based ones and Boat ones as they always seem to take forever in a Deathmatch environment. Sure, hydras are fun, and a tank war map would have been really good - but ultimately - they take ages to complete, and when you shoot a missile - I expect the person to blow up instantaneously.

If you can decipher that message, you have a higher IQ than I do.

here is a little tip for the map creators, go into a big server and play a map that also 22 or so other players are trying to do. learn the common problems that the map has with a high amout of players.

how about a big poll "whats your favourite mode?" or something?

id vote for racing maps ^^

and racing maps with many players allways cause problems because the checkpoints are just too small for 32 ppl to race through =p

I personally hate Destruction Derby, Break and Bloodring. I find them extremely stupid.

I like Blow the Dam, Hydra skill tests (although stupid kids make a deathmatch out of a race), Degeneration of X (same thing with DM and stupid kids).

Well I created some short races with lots of traps and called them gotcha races

They are best for like 10 players.

You can test them, here they are

If you like them and put them on your server, plz post IP/Port here

Hydra skill tests (although stupid kids make a deathmatch out of a race)

Here Here to that... I like Destruction Derby because of its skill required to stay alive. Stupid kids do stuff up Hydra races - what needs to happen is in map creation, you can disable certain vehicles weapons. That'd work really work.
