Favourite TS/FS Map?, Vote people! Options

[KingByng]

Alright people, here it is. Vote on your favourite map from TS and (optional) FS. Please post as to why you think that it is THEE best map, in your opinion. And please, don't just post (I like Cityscape), explain as to why WITH MORE THAN ONE SENTENCE it's a teh uber l33t map. Please don't turn this into an anti-WW made map thread either.

I'll start.

My favourite TS map is Grand Canyon. I like it because it's a fun map for a free-for-all comp stomp on a rainy afternoon. Blow all the bridges, and you've effectively taken out 2 of the A.I.s, allowing you to focus on the one on your side of the map. Once you've taken him out, wait for the 2 A.I.s to battle it out on the other side of the map, occasionally sending bombing raids to the A.I.'s bases, while building the ultimate defence area around your side of ONE of the bridges, and building up a sh!t load of disruptors. Once one A.I. on the other side is a clear winner, repair just the bridge you built defences on. That bottlenecks the A.I., allowing my Juggernauts and Mammoth mk. 2s to have a field day. Fly some disruptors over to the other side, while sending more disruptors across the bridge, and you've got a good 2 pronged assault going on, which no A.I can defend against if you have bomber escort and a second wave handy just in case.

The map is also fairly symmetrical, although the south side has more tiberium value, the north is easier to defend against pitiful attacks sent by an A.I.

I don't have a particularly favourite FS map, but I quite enjoy Dueling Islands, as it offers a great quick match against the A.I. if I need to kill a few minutes. The map is balanced, easy to defend your base, with a lot of exploitable tiberium in the immediate area. It also has a good chunk of land for you base. All around good fun for amphibious assault too (With a back door the A.I. doesn't care about or defend )


EDIT: I cut some TS maps out since I pretty sure most people downright hate 'em (plus there is limited space)

to be honest i don't think it matters if you bump a topic like this. Especially not if you haven't posted your input on it.
But that's just my opinion. All in all a bump really matters in what is being added to bump said topic. If it's pointless or just spam yea that's bad but if it re-opens the topic through adding another opinion/idea/question or whatever and can contribute like this recent one then it doesn't matter or so as I see it.

I can't remember what I voted in the poll about 2 years ago, but I like most WW maps.

Favourites.. There are quite many in the TS list (maps which I play often compared to the others):

- Tiberium Garden Redux (I like the meteor showers, the veinholes and the layout).
- Forest Fires (for the same reasons as Crimsonum, it was also my second favourite (Tiberium Garden Redux was the first))
- Stormy Valley (Yaraday removed my favourite snow map from the list Anyway, I like the layout, the map is quite small and it's fun for a fast 6 player game.. it's only problem is the ice in some attacking routes which the AI doesn't understand)
- Tunnel Train-ing (I like the layout and the short-lived tiberium fields near the player starting locations, so the players have to expand their bases near the northern/southern tiberium fields. There are also many attacking routes to every base, and I love stationing artillery on the hills)
- Cliffs of Insanity, for the same reasons as Crimsonum.

Casey's Canyon could be in the list if it had more tiberium trees.

FS maps:

- Cityscape
- Narrow River, the layout is awesome and it's a fast paced 6-player map. I like how I'm always destroying one AI and then another AI decides to backstab me and I get owned.
- Nowhere to Run, don't really know why.. I can't remember the map well enough right now although I play it often.

Also, I usually like snow maps more than temperate maps, and I dislike Grand Canyon
The terrain is so undetailed there it looks ugly, and I don't like the layout either... and I also don't really care about 4 player maps (Tunnel Training is an exception). When I play TS, I play it in LAN with one or two friends and because we like having some AIs and long battles we always play either 6 or 8 player maps (and in LAN we can also put 8 players on a 6 player map )

I don't really care about the bump, it gave me an opportunity to post this without bumping the topic
