Rio's great. 

 

only a scrub would say such a thing.

 

Worst map is London. You will always get a hack on London, and it will ruin whatever you thought you were doing.

Got 3x Devices on London yesterday for a nice change of pace- that was lovely.

I can't stand the swarm on Glacier Hazard.

 

Now that I talk about it, I noticed only very recently that, when you play the Awakened collector, you can "hitch" the Dark Sphere to the swarm.

Best map - Dagger? 

 

I'm personally not a big fan, but all the Nemeses seem to enjoy being the last survivor under the dome!

 

White, Glacier, Reactor are my happy places

[Swan Killer]

Rio is awful, it might have been tolerable, if they had removed the LZ side of the map... 0 cover, waaaaay too open, impossible to stay alive against Primes and Scions on those catwalks and below. The gameplay is pretty much limited to the boxes and the tower for occasional sniping, but even if you're a sniper, you'll get dropped in seconds, from all directions.

Condor is a reminder of the scale of the struggle.

 

 

Condor

- random flying ships in skybox to distract you

 

 

Never seen 'em.  Seriously.  Because map-wise, Condor poses the greatest challenge.  I still have no autopilot mode for it, and nothing in the game focuses me more then hearing the words 'squad member down' on arrival there.  I guess that's part of why I'm still playing the game, so I can't really vote for Condor, even though I agree with all the criticism it gets.  I hate it, but that's partly the point.

 

Also, Turian squads kicking Reaper ass on Condor?!  That's too great a concept to write off because some ammo shipments were diverted in the fight to save Palaven.  That's what Lancers are for.

dont hate any specific map, but whenever any maps come up 3 times within 4-5 games ... uggghh ... so currently itz hydra ... 6 games within 10 games ...    

[Miniditka77]

Condor

- sparse cover

- malfunctioning ammo boxes in annoying locations

- random flying ships in skybox to distract you

- burning planet in skybox is exact same shade of red/orange used by some enemies

- enemies frequently get stuck at LZ

 

Condor is overall my least favorite map.  By the way, you forgot:  Stuff that looks like soft cover that Primes/Scions/Ravagers/etc. can shoot right through.

 

That being said, if you get a Hack objective on London or an Escort objective on Rio, they can be just as annoying.

[TheTechnoTurian]

Dagger Hazard is just trash. some maps are somewhat punishing but still fun, Dagger Hazard is like sitting on a pine cone.

[cato potato]

Probably Condor - for all the usual reasons. Although I agree with Loufi about the swarm on Glacier Hazard, it's often the most dangerous enemy on the map.

If I remember correctly, Dagger Hazard is the least popular map for Platinum solos.

[Nitrocuban]

Condor, and before Condor it was Reactor.

We had like a hundred threads about that.

[12323432543]

Tie between condor and dagger hazard with rio coming very close behind

[PsychoticBiotic]

Dagger Hazard is the worst, followed by Condor. Both maps are hideous and playing on them makes the game feel tedious.

[justinman114]

CONDOR.

[RopeDrink]

I don't hate any maps specifically. I don't mind Rio that much, or Dagger for that matter (quite the opposite, actually). I do find Goddess frustrating at times - but mostly due to others dropping like flies there for no known reason at all. Had to carry a round there a few days back and even that gave me a headache (and one or two Medi-Gel IOU's because everything has a habit of crawling out of some random hole anywhere around you for free).

 

I quite like London - sure, it's a bit awkward and the objectives there are a big two finger salute - but after the sniping madness I got up to there last night, I can forgive some of its woes.

 

There's also a HUGE difference between the mentality of the natural PUG'er - and the natural SOLO'er. I have yet to bother solo'ing anything gold or higher as I prefer PUG'ing, so that's probably why I have no issue with maps that others here clearly hate to death.

 

Last visit to Rio involved me searching for a game, insta-loading into a Round 3 match of Rio (Sal Engy) with one lone Puggernaut who was on his own that whole time - Two of us sat in the ammo-container at the arse end of the map until Wave 11 (He got to relax while I handled the missions on the side). Wasn't very fun - but wasn't stressful, either.

[CEBK]

Condor. All of the above reasons and "Waiting for Other Players".

I like the rest and don't mind Rio, even though the worst platinum beat down I've ever experienced happened there with an escort.

[Chealec]

Glacier/Hazard is the only map I hate.

 

I never particularly liked Glacier and the hazard just makes it worse. There are a few kits that are fun to play on that map, Fury, Cabal and Slayer (for teleporting from the LZ room to the room at the top) and Vorcha Sentinel and Drell Adept (Cluster 'nades on that map ... ) - for everything else, it's *meh* at best.

 

I actually like London and, apart from the crapped out ammo boxes, I quite like Condor. Rio has lots of 'nades at least. Glacier has no redeeming features except spawn nuking. I like maps where there's lots of room to run around, relatively speaking.

 

 

 

Oh - and White Hazard when using a Krogan (Rage), any kit with with Adrenaline Rush or the Cabal (Biotic Focus). May as well just play with your eyes shut for the amount you can actually see with those stacked visual effects :\

[TopTrog]

Condor, closely followed by Dagger Hazard.

[RanetheViking]

Condor and London.

 

But Hazard Glacier also, because that swarm thing trolls me all the time.

 

Oh and Hazard Ghost. It is a nightmare map on PS3.

[MaxCrushmore]

Rio is almost too large, it can leave you at the mercy of your puglings. Whenever I get a full length escort, I have to hope and pray the puglings understand the need to help with the escort .. otherwise wipe, and your skill level is irrelevant .. Also screw Geth on this map, forcing me to certain areas of this map continuously ..

 

While I like Goddess, I find it to be extremely glitchy, yielding higher incidences of invisible enemies than any other map.

 

Dagger presents certain annoyances, difficult ammo box locations and lots of work to cover all areas of this map.

 

I hate Ghost, I don't like the layout of the map at all. This is my least favorite and certainly the one I personally perform the poorest on

 

Giant is overplayed. I don't actually play much anymore, but when I do, it seems like there is a pre-set Giant match Every. Time. I. Search.

 

My last session I searched UUG and landed in a pre-set Giant Geth .. I played it. Left the lobby after the host showed no inclination to change the pre set. Searched again and landed in a pre-set Giant Reaper .. left and searched again .. landed in the same lobby. I said screw it and played it. After that I searched again and landed in a UUG lobby (like a unicorn!!) .. 3 of us ready up, when the host then switches it to Giant Geth .. I immediately quit for the day ..

 

Tl Dr - I hate Ghost and Rio / Giant pre-sets are how pugs torture me

[grailseeker91]

Dagger Hazard: I can't see and it comes up at least twice every 5 games for me when I search for unknown/unknown more often when I'm a non GI sniper.

 

Glacier Hazard: To be fair this map is fun I don't like it because it comes up the second most after Dagger Hazard making it stale.

 

Hydra: Too open with too many angles for cheap fire arcs. 3rd most seen map (anyone else sensing a theme to my dislike of certain maps?)

 

Unlike a lot of people on this forum, I actually am cool with London and Condor. They're annoying and the objectives can be cheesy but given how I only see them once about every 20-30 games I'm cool with it.

 

What I want to know is what happened to standard reactor and ghost, I always seem to end up on the hazard version of these two. They're both fun but sometimes I want just a simple vanilla game (my host sucks so yeah no presets there and I hate soloing so I guess here's my violin play the song of whine whine whine)

[lonerenforcer9]

That would be whatever map I get synced/downed/don't topscore on

Although...

I can't stand the swarm on Glacier Hazard

[stephenw32768]

Objectively, the worst maps are the buggy ones like Condor.

 

Subjectively, I have little love for London.  Too many unpleasant experiences with Collectors.  Centre hack + Possessed Scions == pain.

 

Don't much care for the hazard maps in general, except Giant, which isn't much harder in hazard mode than in vanilla mode.

[MaxCrushmore]

You should do yourself a favor and avoid Giant Hazard like the plague. (for PS3 players)

 

Best case scenario you will have significant frame rate loss before the end, worst case scenario you will experience a hard freeze.

 

I understand why some soloers use this map (more grenades, solo friendly), but I personally can't play that map without my PS3 struggling ..

[JRandall0308]

Well I'm bored at 'work' so why not go thru every map?

 

Spoiler

Condor -- see my complaints earlier in the thread. This map is terrible in every possible way.

 

Dagger -- a little too large meaning that you chase enemies around past the point of fun.

 

Dagger Hazard -- terrible, you can't see crap and the ammo boxes malfunction.

 

Ghost -- it's fine. You can stay near the ammo box near the LZ and go into the nearby crate when you need RHA, or run to the opposite corner and cramp the crate / ammo box there. It's fun the way the enemies drop down from the crates up above, allowing you to snipe or throw powers up there for stylish kills.

 

Ghost Hazard -- on balance the acid rain hurts the enemies more than it hurts you, so that's a win in my book. But it does make certain close-range characters hard to play.

 

Giant -- yes, it's overplayed, and it's a bit too large, but otherwise a solid map.

 

Giant Hazard -- screen shake annoys me and how freakin' dark it is makes me turn off my lights for additional screen contrast. So not a fan overall.

 

Glacier -- small, easy to control spawn locations, decent ammo boxes = awesome map.

 

Glacier Hazard -- like I said, the swarm adds an interesting element which is sometimes frustrating and sometimes hilarious.

 

Goddess -- small map! Pretty easy to control spawns here, too. Love it. Except when I'm doing the center Hack/Device when I hate it.

 

Hydra -- I don't understand the hate for this map. Camp the blue sphere room, you can only be attacked from two directions, and you have an ammo box just around the corner. Now, that one Device/Hack in the dead center of the map suuuuuuuucks, but lots of maps have bad Device/Hack locations. Also Hydra gets bonus points for when Atlases end up on top of the roof near the LZ.

 

Jade -- overall I like this map except for the punishingly difficult center Device location. Otherwise, it's fine, but kind of bland.

 

London -- it's not so bad except for the punishingly difficult center Device location. Wait didn't I just write that about Jade? Heh. Anyway, London is tolerable; I stay near the LZ (not extraction zone) and its ammo box. The catwalk is actually harder to hold than the ground.

 

Reactor -- a little too big meaning that I spend time running around to find enemies which is the entire game in Dragon Age: Inqusition is boring. But you have a variety of places you can camp if you want to. Occasionally enemies get stuck in the ductwork which is the only downside.

 

Reactor Hazard -- trolling opportunities aside, it's basically the same as the normal map.

 

Rio -- it's way too big, but ammo boxes and grenades galore make it fun. Just stay away from the middle of the map at all costs.

 

Vancouver -- it's bland but fine. Good sniping opportunities and easy to cycle the map if solo-ing. Just avoid that central ladder!

 

White -- ho-hum, nothing special about this map. Generous ammo box placement on a relatively small map, and no really obnoxious Objective locations either. Bonus points for being the site of my first two Gold solos when I was grinding that challenge.

 

White Hazard -- sucks to be Raging or (to a lesser extent) Vorcha-ing while this thing is going on, but otherwise it's irrelevant. If the snow did something interesting like slowly chill you, that would be cool.

 

Did I miss any?
