The top five most played maps of all times!

Submitted by The Development Team on

Greetings soldiers,

In the past weeks we have released the top four most played maps of all times across Facebook and Twitter. We also asked the followers among you which map you reckoned to be on the, very honorable, first place. A lot of suggestions were given, of which a surprising amount incorrect to be honest. Very understandable however, as we made the most common mistake ourselves as well ;-) Now... we won't keep you reading any longer. We hereby present to you: The top five most played maps of all times!

5. Grudge Match - Played 21339 times

4. World War 3 - Played 26541 times

3. Headquarters - Played 30145 times

2. Urban Combat - Played 30766 times

1. Small House!!!! Played - (a stunning) 46949 times!

It is not completely decided yet, but we might just recreate most of these maps. To help us decide please fill in the new poll to let us know which map you want to see recreated no matter what.

Salute,

The Development Team

You're making me nostalgic, anywho, I'm shocked Farm Fight isn't there.
I remember first time I played was on UC, SPAWN hunted me down like four games in a row.

I think Small House had so many plays because every AG match was pretty much played there, if not in a rematch.

FF didn't make it on there because it was more of a nostalgic for veterans, so it didn't get played as much.

Seeing these maps really made me remember how much I miss this game. Insanely excited to see the new version.

Surprised SWAT didn't make it in over Grudge. Is that including grudge EX's numbers too?

If we ever get talking about CoC, Fayt is always within 3 sentences of telling us how good he was on HQ.

If small house was recreated, I'd be mind blown! By the way, are there plans for a single player campaign?

Not at the moment. Building a multiplayer game is more than enough work for now ;)

the screen shot for the HQ map is the expanded version! grudge was played a lot early on. I think it would be great to see some of the buildings from the old favorite maps/fighting areas. might be a good place to begin testing the games playability down the road. not that many of them are realistic...

You are right about HQ, good point, our bad. The original HQ is listed as number 3 ;)

The realism of the buildings/certain maps is a bit problematic, as we are trying to recreate maps with a realistic look&feel.; But as always.. its all about finding a balance between gameplay and realism.

I believe the way you interpret the statistic is flawed. Don't you think it's a coincidence all these are small maps allowing 3v3 or 4v4 max? First of all I assume that it's from AG games? There are 2 reasons these particular maps were played a lot.
One reason was because most AGs didn't have the actives to be able to get enough for large maps. When big AGs would meet, then the scenario was totally different. None of these maps would be played.
The other reason was that all of them for most of the games, would rely on ONE good nader to steal and maintain control of the VPS. Of course there were a lot of plans devised to counter this but essentially if you had someone that was better with hotkeys than his opponent, it was a guaranteed win. Think about all of them and you'll see my point.
I hope the concept on map creation would lean more towards strategy and team play rather than promote blind key clicking.

Not sure who you are referring to, but we didnt interpret this statistic, we just pinpointed it ;)
You are completely right about why it were these maps in particular that were played so often. The amount of active players usually didnt allow for much larger games/larger maps to be played.
The smaller a map gets, the more likely it is that it becomes dependent on nading/specific players. Regarding your concern: our aim is to release a set of maps that meets the demand for both open field/close quarters combat and different battle sizes. So hopefully every player gets what they want :)

smaller maps generally finished quicker. the big maps u where lucky to play 4-5 an hour. at off peak times or small maps in general, you could play 4-10 an hour. no one wants to wait 10 minutes to get into another game. certainly that was caused by a lack of numbers in the old game:(

glad that one of my maps made it into the hall of fame! Wouldn't be too fussed if none of these return though, I'm looking forward to seeing something new.

coastes does have a point more of the smaller maps were played more because most of the fights were less then 4x4. take note these maps should defiantly be recreated into a masterpiece for the upcomming version
