I like Cargo and Destroyer, although Destroyer isn't a custom map since it's made by Raven. H3H is meh, and the rest of the custom maps I don't really like.
I think a lot of the custom maps (especially yours J3rk, no offense) suffer from the maps and objectives being too big. You can't really pug on them unless you have teams of 5v5 or 6v6 or more.

BaseAssault could actually turn into a great map if some key things were fixed (being pointed out in the other thread)
We've actually been having quite a bit of fun, though any more than 3's in the current state is just terrible.

TL;DR, I know... But still....
I disagree with the notion that custom maps, as a rule, have to suck btw. The way I see it is that most custom maps suck currently because it's impossible to get it right on the first try. It takes constant listening to the gamers who are actually playing the maps, and hence constant development. Just look at how Valve handles their releases... Constant updates based on community feedback - and they're professionals who have teams of testers, etc. Most hobby mappers just don't have the time or desire to make constant revisions to maps, so hence the versions that are released (and not updated) leave a lot to be desired. I'm definitely not immune to that which is why I don't take criticism personally at all. That's also why I always try to request feedback and update my maps at least once.

I second wafflz's notion that Base snowtrooper 2 has serious potential. Just hang in there for a couple of revisions j3rk and I think you will see it become as popular as cargo.

Maybe Duo's map will be good, because he's essentially stealing objectives from the four main maps (Hoth, Des, Korri, Cargo) and remixing them.

Hey, don't think it won't have its unique points
