Another great map from AKAFootloose. Been busy with Enderal and Sniper Elite 4 so haven't been here for a while. Glad to see you are still keeping your hand in. Love the verticality and that cool bridge; and as usual, the nice attention to detail that makes it all seem real and lived in, Was tempted to go in the water a couple of times as it looked so inviting, but learned my lesson with you the hard way, so took the long way around :-)
It felt a bit easy at first, but the difficulty ramped up dramatically when I got up to the main bridge. Thank you for the ladder to that rooftop. Saved me a lot of running around, although I was down.to my last sniper round when I finally felt safe to hit the street again.
Well done.
Well, this is really a matter of taste and personal preference - ordinary maps are smaller, more ferocious and quicker to finish while large maps make it more difficult to be cleared and especially to locate the last man standing hence more difficult to finish overall.
I think the maps' star rating is based on completion of the mission hence less stars for big or unfinishable maps. It's not really a popularity indicator![]()
Well, it's a matter of taste, no?
I would say all maps under "Quik Play Top Rated" is quiet a decent play - usually smaller maps but all well balanced (AI/ weapons/ enemy) and finishable missions.
Outposts are my preference and here a few tips:
Beira Rio
Parabellum
Atlantis
Close to Heaven
..and finally most Dam related maps are entertaining.
unfortunately there is no option to add a map to favorites after you finished - only when you begin a map (which is not very clever) hence there is no way...to remember
Extraction maps are just all silly - mostly no kill needed.. just reach the extraction point and mission accomplished - usually done within 10 minutes depending on the size of the map.
Assault maps are just shoot-what-moves a la rabbit hunt - however there are a few nice big maps with good landscape but can't remember the names - sorry!
Finally the Genius maps - shoot the animal cage.. wait a minute .. and mission accomplished

"..and finally most Dam related maps are entertaining." and "Extraction maps are just all silly". . . . . . .
Golly! If only Ubisoft allowed us to delete our own maps - knowing this - I would have deleted my "Turtle Lake Dam" a long time ago - and certainly "The Killing Fields 2" and "The Flea Market S". Duh! I just didn't realise there were a set of "black and White" rules for map creation, and that maps actually *could* be finished in under a week. My maps are waaaaay too long... and "ordinary", too. Obviously. (sigh)
Most "communal" hobbies, whether golf, swimming, chess, skating, dancing w.h.y. - each is an expression of individual creativity or art form - and is usually rewarded by popular vote, and, though I reckon the Ubisoft system may be flawed in some ways (it certainly it pops up as a topic of controversy often enough) - it seems to work for the most part. It's "clever" enough for me, anyway.
Not particularly aimed at "rushing to AKAFootloose's defense" (it certainly has worked for him, me, and many others too) - but Butcherbird's remarks are directed at a person who has some twenty-one maps out of the forty-five currently on the Outpost Top-Rated Maps list - his maps consistently being at or near the top for a long time. That is not luck: nor "friends votes"; nor rigging by a "flawed Ubisoft voting system": It's because he puts in some 200 hours and three to five weeks of work to make the creative best - and most entertaining maps that he can. Almost all other of us human beans do the same thing with our maps, too - not all spend a month on them, but generally - it's a lot of work and undeserving of this disparagement.
. . . . I've always looked for the best in my fellow man - but I'm disappointed to read such dogmatic opinions in the posts above - filled with such disdain, and such overt "put-downs".
Butcherbird - you are entitled to your own opinions, but here you've taken some harsh and unpleasant pot-shots at how a lot of other folks' get pleasure and pursue their hobbies - and it was uncalled for and cruel.
