Going forward, I'd like to create maps for GW, but I think due to the nature of the game mode some standards should be set in place. Eg: you can experience 1v1 through 4v4 from what I recall.

Perhaps we could try and ensure map design and selection make this viable?

Hello,
I've added to the list along with some comments etc. Yes, we will probably move it to a spreadsheet in the future.
Feel free to post feedback here, thanks.

Maps I feel would be great

Phaaze
Salem Bay
Aquada
Kill Box Alpha v2 (one of the slots is kinda buggy, I'm working on a v3 that fixes slots and adds some more paths through the water)
barrier_islands_4v4_rebalance
lost paradise island

Tentative suggestions

Eden Prime EDIT: Not this one. I at least have to clean up some of the decals and change around the heightmap.
Eldorado
Land Rover
Charybdis (never played this but it looks ok).

Little unbalanced or non symetric maps are perfectly fine for GW

I didn't know.

If it's either then of course I don't want it on the list

It's on the verge of it, some of the terrain messes with pathing, kinda similar to cloud kingdom. It can be fixed up for inclusion just fine though.

It's ludicrous fun to play though.... such a shame.

Please no Badlands - it's in the name that they are bad. Their 3 narrow lane structure will favor turtling in team games.

fair enough.

Thanks, now i have two similar spreadsheets, still worth making something new, its been a long time, new content is ready to be used and some old content is no longer able, will refer to these in order to help speed up "testing and approval" still

You could quite literally not be more wrong about how badlands plays out in team games.

Hey, as mentioned before, GW are not linear teamgame setups a lot of the time, and players might not spawn mirrored with eachother or otherwise, for that reason, maps like hardffa or badlands or etc should be fine to post here. (also fancylands exists ) If you're unsure what it's really like, look up some GW footage from way back on youtube, i know ZLO has some, maybe some others.

I very much agree here, good place for not GPG coop mappers to get theirs in too

HardFFA is for a very specific game mode - phantom or FFA, maybe murder party. It is DEFINITELY not for

Other maps:

Wonder
Bermuda Locket (some interesting 2v2s there)
The Ditch (I played 3v3s there, it leads to rather interesting games)
The Scar (3 in mid - defenders - vs. 3 outside - attackers)
Pointless Dirt v3 - a 5x5 map for quick duels, vital expansions and no insane amounts of mass.
