Re: Beta map pack
Nice list! We've played (or still play) the bulk of the ones in your pack. If you don't mind, here's my input on your list:
My top pics (7/10 +)
9/10 - Thunder
9/10 - V2 Shelter
8/10 - NightRaid
8/10 - Stalingrad 3
8/10 - St Analie
7/10 - Entre Pottes
7/10 - LeDepot
7/10 - Merville
7/10 - New Morning Assault
7/10 - Water Castle
7/10 - WustenKaff
And a brief analysis of all 44 maps:
Aircraft Carrier (1/10)
- Mostly open spaces
- Spawns are far apart if I remember correctly
- Lots of unused space
Aquaduct (3/10)
- Almost too small for more than 3v3 (which could be a pro for late night/early starters)
- Bomb is in a weird spot under the radar
- Spawns are directly across from each other
- No visual barriers
BaseUBoat2 (2/10)
+ Hell of a lot less running than the original map
- Only two ways to leave the spawn (huge bottle necks)
- Still a lot of running to get to any action
Casablanca (1/10)
- This map only has 1 or 2 spawn points, loads of telefragging (can be fixed by adding more spawns)
- The bomb is not centrally located, defending team has huge upper hand
Chocolate Factory (5/10)
- Big open spaces
- Lots of unused map
- Bomb in Axis spawn
+ Lots of visual barriers
+ Great for 8v8+
Clair2lune (6/10)
- The version I downloaded in your pack seems to crash every time I load it, normally a good map overall
+ Fair spawn points
+ Good exits/coverage for both sides leaving spawns
- OBJ version has weird bomb placements, DM version makes more sense
+ Nice size, good for 5v5+
Close Combat (5/10)
- Almost too small for more than 3v3 (which could be a pro for late night/early starters)
- "Air Support" can be annoying (easily fixed by removing thread from script)
+ Great visual blockers
Enigma (5/10)
- Bomb is oddly positioned in top back room of Axis spawn
- Map is a straight line almost, creates some bottle necks
+ Lots of corners, good for bolt action, not too open
+ Good for ~ 5v5+
Rust In Peace (4/10)
- Killing the medics in the OBJ version can prove challenging if the Medic spawns at the top of the ramp (one way up, very open, bottleneck)
- Map can cause serious drop in FPS for some players
+ Well made and visually appealing
Entre Pottes (7/10)
+ Nice visual blockers (may benefit from added fog)
+ Centrally located bomb, lots of ways to it
+ Decent spawn points for both sides
+ Good size for 5v5+
Gloomcove (5/10)
- One Axis on the beach or looking down on the beach can keep all the Allies away (similar to a very foggy Omaha)
- Bomb in back of map, can be "too easy" to defend
Hide and Seek (4/10)
+ Good spawn points
+ Good visual blockers
- Can cause minor FPS drops for some players
- Big choke point where both sides meet, hideandseek2 might be better for this reason
Last Castle (5/10)
- Moving the spawns gives this map instant 8/10 rating, default spawns are horrible (axis spawning outside with allies, allies spawning in tunnels with axis, allies spawning on a side of the castle without an entrance)
+ Good amount of action
+ Lots of reason to move around, lots of objectives to guard/plant
+ Good for 6v6+
Lavalle (2/10)
- Large map
- Lots of open spaces
- Poorly constructed, not visually appealing
Le Depot (7/10)
+ Smaller map, good use of space
+ Nice mix of close/open areas
+ Good spawn points
+ Good for 4v4-8v8
LePetit Port (2/10)
- Bad bomb position
- Bad spawn points
- Bad construction, players get stuck easily while walking
Morning Assault (1/10)
- Prefer New Morning Assault
Navarone (6/10)
- Can cause drops in FPS for some players
- Can cause texture issues for some players
- Planting the bomb can be tricky as camped Axis can cause a large choke point
+ Good mix of open/close spaces
+ Good spawn positions
+ Good visual blockers
+ Good for 6v6+
New Morning Assault (7/10)
+ Good spawn points
- Bomb position could be better
+ Good use of space
+ Fair mix of open/close spaces, makes for good bolt action play
+ Adds strategic locations not available in Morning Assault original version
Nightraid (8/10)
+ Good spawn points
+ Good mix of open/close areas
+ Good bomb positions
- Doors don't close on their own which can be annoying
+ Great scrim map
+ Good for 5v5+
Kilos Ridge (3/10)
* Similar to Verdun (sans fog) - big field, building in the middle
- Spawns are right across from each other
- No visual blockers
- Jumping through trenches is annoying
The Village (5/10)
+ Bomb in good position
+ Good spawns
- Could use more visual blockers/more fog
- Choke point at the bridge can be harsh

+ Good mix of open/close areas
+ Good for 5v5+
Singapore (3/10)
- Spawns are right across from each other
- Objective is goofy (tap use on papers to win? lame)
* Can add timer to papers so at least you have to touch them for x seconds, makes the map closer to a 5/10
St Analie (8/10)
+ Very nice looking map
+ Spawns are nicely distributed
+ Good use of open/closed spaces
+ Good for 5v5+
Stalingrad 3 (8/10)

+ Good for 5v5+
The Complex (6/10)

Re: Beta map pack
I love Wolf, and PoG Arena. I've modded both of them by changing the spawns to make them more scrimmable. You're totally right about the fog on PoG Arena, after I did that a few months ago, it was a lot more enjoyable to play.
We've played that tiny Wolf map with 25 people before and it was enjoyable. Splat added a gas switch on the allies side that can be triggered to kill anybody (axis) that try to come to the allies spawn underground.
You should check out Schaekerlager. (There's three versions out there, we keep a single pk3 of it on our downloads page) I blocked and added so many of my own spawns, and blocked of parts of the map that make it great for OBJ play.
