Favourite multiplayer map?

What's your favourite mulitplayer map?

This poll will replace the favourite weapon poll on the widgets to the right when it's had a few votes.

Personally I like Sandbar because it's big and open and has a bit of everything, just wish they would rotate the Gorgon Pistol with the Boltok Pistol.

Also like Thrashball, Checkout and the Old Town maps too. And Mercy!

The worse map for me is Overpass and in a close 2nd is the Hotel. Don't seem to play to well on those for some reason!

I'd have to say Trenches, I always do good on this map, and there are always tons of flanking opportunities

I have to go with trenches on this one I loved it when I first played it. Except what pissed me off was that people camped at that spot with the hanging box using the hammer of dawn.

Mercy: grest but stupid boom/digger house is a camp fest and spawn camping is possible

Overpass: stupid, no real way to kill high level players once they take control of the overpass plus spawn camping

Trenches: flankfest of awesomeness

Sandbar: fun stage but slows game down too much for player looking to just merk people

Thrashball: amazing. even spawn campers cant ruin this stage

Hotel: Really well done stage def one of the better stages

Old Town: big and fun with lots of weapons and spawn camping...

Drydock: solid but spawn camping issues hold it back from being great

Gridlock: Gridlock IS Gears of War multiplayer. nuff said

Checkout: Raven Down for 5v5.. I say HELL YES!!!



Overall many stages are great but also flawed because of the goofy respawning system that makes you respawn randomly with your team while theyre getting killed.

Trenches definitely, I think the layout is brilliant and it's always intense. The temporary sand-storm that appears from time to time does annoy me though.

I am gonna reserve my vote for now. Still undecided but if pushed I have to go with either Sandbar or Mercy at this stage. Sandbar is the only stage that REALLY works for every mode in my opinion. I always seem to do quite well on those two.

Also love Checkout for some reason.

As for ones I don't enjoy...Trashball! Ugh, I really don't like that one. Any tips?
Also not a big fan of Overpass and it seems to come up quite a lot. Kinda dumb that you cannot vote for a stage before the game starts.

Bumping this up for a few more votes so it can replace the main poll

Gridlock by far. Love the Mad-World easter egg.

Ok, I have voted. Mercy it is. I had a tough time deciding but what swung it was the look of the stage. Plus I always seem to do well on it (especially when I get my hands on the mortar).

Ive changed my mind, Gridlock is the best map. When the mad world easter egg comes on, its very emotional and intense

yeah, i would say gridlock or hotel, just seems like there's a lot of actioin on these and i always tend to do well. i can't stand overpass or sandbar though...

when im in the mood for the longshot, sandbar is like winning the lottery

too many stages have key points or tactical points that once you control the game becomes that much harder for the other team to kill you especially when you have at least 3 people at the point.

sandbar: center mountain where digger/boom spawn.

mercy: chapel where again digger and boom spawn.

hotel: center back hotel. not as key as other stages.

overpass: the overpass...

drydock: back where mortar or one piece spawn. not super key but again a very strong point.

thrashball: balcony

trenches: mortar/one shot spawn

again these points arent auto win or anything(sandbar and overpass are debatable) but once a team has these points its becomes very hard to kill them. these points give you the ability to see all angles that can approach you without fear of the flank. and without frags on many stages it sometimes becomes camp for boom etc.
