    First time I ve seen people vote to replay map, and it happened 4 times in a row!

    So to start from the beginning. As a break to my other big map, I made an experiment. It was a small map, full of generic objects, but shaped like an Unreal Tournament map.
    The premise was simple. Everyone gets one weapon, everyone dies in one shot (aka instagib).

    So I went in to test the map today and when it was my turn, I chose it.
    Instantly, the entire room voted for it, got 7 votes and it was selected without the countdown ending. I was happy, but I mainly thought it was because of its white screenshot that somehow looks different.

    So we play the map, I had a lot of fun, lots of good players and the competition was tight. A guy reached the frag limit of 30 and 3 more (including myself) were very close to that number too. Game ended, it was frantic and fast-paced. Then, another player's turn to choose a map. He chooses his own map, a museum map. I was interested to see his level since I made a museum level myself, so I vote for his map.

    Now here is where the fun part begins. I only see two votes on his map and one on another, I am like "dont choose another map, I want to see this one!", then I see my level (last one) light up again. I am like "whaaaaat?". Its the first time I see a level been replayed and I am level 48 (and previously level 52).

    I am like, wow did they like it so much? So we play it again. And again. And... again. I honestly didnt want to play it anymore! So we played the same map 4 times, each with the same guy winning (last one I won but was a close call).

    Fun fact, the rating didnt rise, even though not many players have played it, which means that maybe they didnt rate it well, even thought they liked it as it seems. That, or the algorithm is weird and is doing weird things.

    Anyhow, if you want to try that map, here is the link: https://far-cry-arcade.ubi.com/en-gb...ae8f3f14be6c3c
    Honestly, its nothing fancy, but its super super fun if you understand how to play it.

    That's great, must have really good game-play. I would check it out if I wasn't on PS4. My Multi-Player map gets replayed occasionally but its main allure is probably it's screenshot. Modified gravity and vertical style combat, so it's not to everyone's tastes, but the screenshot gets it through almost every time. Maybe the replays were just people leaving and new people getting sucked in haha, but I don't care as long as I get to play it again.

    The map is called Galactic Conquest if anyone on PS4 wants to check it out:
    https://far-cry-arcade.ubi.com/en-gb...1feb481c7d346c

    Its a team deathmatch and has around 1200 plays with a 3 star rating; Classes are all heavily stacked, and air combat is encouraged with multiple planes and helicopters for each team. The map is set over an alien planet with two opposing starship fleets battling for control of the galaxy. I welcome anyone who wants to check it out and give feedback.

    I share your feelings. Pirate ships is one of my worst maps, because they valued design over flow and gameplay, something that I realised is a lot more important than having a map that simply looks good. The others, i havent played, with the exception of the toy room. The original one I also dont like (with bows), the Toy soldier one I have mixed feelings. I never dislike a map in rating, but I cant say I enjoyed those two. My favorite map is eden gate arena because its all about gameplay.
