Your favorite CTF/C&H/DM maps in OFP or ArmA

Recommended Posts

What are your favorite multiplayer maps in non-coop genres, mainly capture the flag, capture & hold and deathmatch?

If you have a favorite, tell the name of the map, try to describe it and explain what is good in it! Maps from both OFP and ArmA will do. If you don't have a favorite, tell us what kind appeals to you the most.

For starters, in OFP I liked CTF Red Snow. It was a medium sized CQB in winter Nogojev, the atmosphere in a dark, snowy town was without equal and it did help that I am particularly good in a winter environment. The first thing I do when a decent winter island is released is make a similar map. The one deathmatch I would always play if I saw it on the list was the simple but classic DM Ruins on Kolgujev. A perfect balance between stealth, sniping and run n' gunning.

In ArmA so far I've liked DM Vodka in the village of Rahmadi and Hexenkessel. Vodka is a bit like Tequila in OFP, just simple shooting and the area is quite small but still complex enough to find a hiding place. Hexen was one of my first experiences in OFP's multiplayer and I remember that I was amazed by the architecture, at that time I didn't know you could add buildings in the editor. The design is quite simple but the 3 + 3 corridors and the middle area add a feeling of tactics that other similar maps lack. Successfully flanking the enemy always makes you feel like a man.

I will use the results to determine what kinds of maps have demand in the community, but also to satisfy my natural curiosity! wink_o.gif

Small CTF maps and Mid Range C&H. I like to play these styles of maps competitively.

I have no named favourites, I am simply told when to turn up for a match and play. It's the competition which makes the map great for me. It can be small or large, just make sure the opponents aren't AI and I am happy.

At a push -

CCL League - Excellent examples of some mid range C&H's (don't know the names of the maps)

Mokra has always been one of the great maps I have played in a CTF environment.

ok here my favorites of the old OFP days!

Anhöhe

Battlefield the one with the airport

mini Battlefield

DeadZone

DesertMod Coop: Helicopter Search or something like that

DropZone

Elecante

LillEveron

StPierre

WarGamesLeage maps

so mostly C&H mid and bigger sized, even small sized can be fun.

and of course CTF.

But im looking forward to have some more massive battles in future after the next patch...if its possible!

We already see that its possible to have more than 50 players on one server without huge lag probs, so we can look forward and hope some server probs will be solved soon.

The maps will grow with the games possibilities.

We are needing all objects in the editor...i have seen so many nice on Sahrani...i wanna use them all! smile_o.gif

Im also looking forward to play some CTIs...back in OFP were always too less humans on that kind of maps...with ArmA and the player number now it can be fun!

Hold Castle was the funniest map of the BIS maps but it got some serious crash probs...sadly

So i hope we will see some nice Attack and Defend maps too in ArmA! smile_o.gif

ArmA gives us a nice playground to make any kind of maps we have in mind, its only up to the abilities of the editor user and the usability of itself, so start making maps no matter which kind. ArmA needs it all! wink_o.gif

CTF: Morton, LilE, Mokra, Saruhills, SAS urban, Desertrats 3/4, Dropzone.

The one id like to see converted most would be Hoe down, that one with the kozlice shotgun, tractors and trabants. Classic map! So funny.

DM: Airfield was always good, and id second DM ruins.Also Kutcheks petrovice DM. I was also partial to a good flagfight, had great times playing those, best one was the one with the lighthouse on the west coast of the map. (Cant remember its name tho)

medium sized CTF and C&H maps such as castle keep, everon, GFYYSFB and city battle.

However the best league games were always played on big 8v8 or 10vs10 large C&H maps with 5 flags, where you have to use choppers to get from respawn to the flags. Maps such as Wargames: Operation Raven and Op. Sparrow.

Have to mention DropZone and Deadzone for 30 minutes of run-out-of-spawn-with-all-weapons-blazing biggrin_o.gif Best played with 5v5 though to bring a little tactics to it.

Also was rather partial to the mid-sized TNT maps - City Of Angels and Red Snow are two that I recall fondly.

Dead and Drop are great maps, players won't admit it these days, they have all gone high-brow.. but these maps were the bread n butter of all out assault pistols.gif

One of my all time favorite missions is Operation Iron Horse, an A&D type of mission by Cowboy [1-8th].  One of my favorite DM maps was Anderson DeathMatch.
