We've all had time to actually play them 'n stuff.

Artic Circle - Absolutely horrible map. I can't stand maps where eco is just thrown at you. It's an allied w.a.n.k fest also.

City Under Siege - Boring as hell. Every game takes like 20 minutes on this.

Sovereign Land - It's alright, I don't get it that much for some reason. Not the best of maps but I don't think "ffs" when I get it.

Stormy Weather - It's alright, a bit sov biased I guess because of quicker barracks. Getting middle is quite an advantage.

Country Swing - Not the most exciting map, nor does it offer the most variation. It's alright though.

Malibu Cliffs - I still have no idea how to build on this map, except for TL. I don't mind it really though, isn't lame or anything.

Defcon 6 - Havn't had a long game on this yet. All over in like 6 mins, it's alright. Alot of people still don't think to move to mid then when they see you there, they panic. And try to rush you >.<.

I know I sound like I'm complaining. And that it's better than just having the same maps as we did before. But I reckon there are better maps that could have been added.

Artic Circle - I hate it, tho because its so allied bias and im a sov. engi eating tastic map. How many sov players will actually go for the airports??

City Under Siege - ok, its something different from any other map

Sovereign Land - I like it, tho its strictly a derrick rushing map

Stormy Weather - good map, seems well balanced.

Country Swing - bit of an ra2 classic

Malibu Cliffs - I like this one alot, tho its big its enjoyable as a sov. some starting positions are lamer than others. eco is pretty easy to manage.

Defcon 6 - Too big and fiddly, great for splits, I find eco hard on this one.

city under siege pwns you just build 10 tanks and you wait till your opponent bashes the walls with 20 tanks and you still win!

i totally disagree with that :ph34r:

arctic - awesome but imo VERY hard to play, not mentioning mastering it :p
offi a - im freewin on this, wtf u do :confused2:
city - oh well, sux if u get antid but its an ok map :) (rushing if u anti owns ;) )
sl - :dry: almost as worse as offi a, but i guess it can be nice
stormy - awesome (mid aint that much of an andvatage, the gems are not much so u have to move miner very often, 2 miners eat it in 2-3 mins. easy to block w/o it (though splits are harder to get then))
cs - well it's ok :) i just dislike some spots
malibu - takes so ****in long
defcon - wierd, sometimes it pwns, sometimes it sux

overall qm renovation is :thumbsup:

@zzattack yeah ... when you play ppl with 500 pts :dry:

Artic Circle, great map, maybe favouring allies abit but its not as if it OWNS for allies, i've played juany on it and we had a great game, eventhough i lost i didn't care but i learned alot.. as long as you agree to not engi-eat though^^

OFF A - good map , sovs favoured but allies can damage a sov player pretty much (have beaten alot of top players already on it)

Stormy- Very good map , i like it alot. Sovs are better on it , but its just a good challenge for any allies.. people underestimate allies on this map to be honest^^

Defcon- totally **** map, in sov v sov i think it can be decent but in allies vs sovs , sovs just totally overpower which isn't even fun to play..

Sovereign- Hate this map aswell because most people just move their mcv to the middle and camp in the village, with plastic tanks its kinda hard to win then :\

Country Swing- i guess its alright , haven't had this map in QM for ages though.. its kinda equal although sovs are slightly favorish (unless TM vs BM, in this case sovs will rape allies)

Malibu- A map for good games, maybe slightly better for allies. but out of 20 maps 16 favour sovs so its good they have to try a bit harder. always have big tank battles and is very open for good splits and harrasment.

City under Siege- I don't really have an opinion of this map , haven't played it enouggh.

Artic Circle - Great map, only issue is engi eating but other than that it's good.

City Under Siege - Ok map.

Sovereign Land - Not played a half decent player on it yet, so not really had a proper game.

Stormy Weather - It's ok, just a bit **** for engi eating.

Country Swing - Ok map though it's usually campers heaven, think i've only played it twice in qm, in a period of 2months :s

Malibu Cliffs - Probably my favourate map, great for 1on1, and i even started doing a few 2on2's on it, probably best map in the whole of ra2.

Defcon 6 - Ok map.

That's because too many sov players find large and big resourced maps to be allied maps, which is true in most cases, but not not ac. Pretty much a fair map between allies and sovs imo.

Artic Circle - I hate it, like tevin said u dont have to work for eco at all...

City Under Siege - Rearded. Period. I just quit even tho im good at it.

Sovereign Land - It's alright, I don't get it that much for some reason. Not the best of maps but I don't think "ffs" when I get it.

Stormy Weather - I hate this map so much. Engi eating is horrendous, just a truly **** map.

Country Swing - Decent map that i find fun to play.

Malibu Cliffs - Best map added.

Defcon 6 - Awesome map. I love how you have to work for eco and move base all around, at least thats how I play it. Ppl who move to mid I've yet to lose to, except ShaunY who i was owning until he engied my fac.
