I think v2 and v3 both have their own pros and cons, but I actually enjoy those massive pushes since they're more exciting. I've seen and experienced some grotesque rushes and defenses on v3 since the layout was tweaked.

Here's my pics:

Corporation
Egypt

1. Dustbowl - Always has been and always will be my fav
2. Badwater - Lovin this map
3. Gravelpit - One of the best stocks
4. Labor - Best epic rounds ever on this map
5. Goldrush - The 1-2 cap can sometiems be hard to take but ive been seeing it done a lot more these days. Snipers are still the bane of my existence on it tho.

My favorites change quite a bit depending on how much I've played them recently - I can be hot or cold on Labor or Turbine or even Hydro. Usually I like those maps a lot more if I'm not playing them twice a night, which was the case when we fist put Labor and Turbine as the only custom's in the rotation way back when.

My current favorite customs (since stock maps are in no danger of not being played) in no particular order:

1. Boulder - still learning the map but there are a ton of interesting routes on it with smart elevation changes and interesting CPs
2. Corporation - b3 can provide epic attacks and some big moments and really requires both teams to choose smart kits and work together
3. Stag - along with labor my favorite 5 point cp-style map
4. Castle4 - the first two stages of Castle4 along with the final Castle3 stage would be ideal, but the first two stages edge out v4 for me
5. Chaos - my favorite non-stock CTF map

I also would like to see more Broma, Roswell, Spectre, Egypt and Powerhouse queued up. None are perfect, but they can provide really fun games when people know the maps.

Series

1. Dustbowl
2. Castle3
3. Mach4
4. Goldush
5. Steel


6. corporation - because its one of the harder maps for both teams.
7. chaos - simple CTF but with intense close-area combat.


anyway, I think removing some of the common played to death maps would be good for a little while. such as replacing cp_well with stag and keeping ctf_well. Or replacing ctf_well with mach4.

concerning castle3 or castle4........there was a poll awhile back on which you prefer, the results were nearly 50/50 so I think if your going to set the next map to castle, then castle3 should be considered or have a server side vote.

1. Dustbowl. It's a love hate relationship.
2. Hydro. I love TC maps, but none have come even close to the perfection valve created. So many different areas, so many different class uses...
3. Turbine. The only CTF map I really care for. It has 3 solid entry points to the base. It has 1 large open midfield with interesting but simple battles. It has both vertical and horrizontal scale...
4. Steel. Although I have much less experience than you guys with it, it's quickly gone to my top.
5. Goldrush. I like the intensity it provides, pure and simple.

if I could keep going...

6. Mach 4. Another simple CTF map that doesn't suffer from the same problems as 2Fort.
7. Castle 3 (4 I have less experience on, but still enjoy). It's just one custom that has always felt simplistic but very open ended for tactics and teamwork.


It's really hard for me to choose 5 favorites from top to bottom, but that's the best I can do. Keep in mind, I kinda like all these maps equally.
