*What kind of maps do you like?

1. Maps that have a very good gameflow (ie where you can't be stuck in a corner), that give the player a chance to flank and hide for a while, but make camping spots obvious;

2. Maps that don't give an unfair advantage to a certain type of players (ie sniper, run'n gun, etc ...), that provide enough cover but don't transform a game into a shotgun/nade fest;

3. Maps that have a very good look and feel about the place that the level designer wanted to recreate, and that should be taken into account by researching the real world places where the "fight" could have taken place.

Examples?

dawnville has to be one of the good maps out there.

*Which gametype is your favourite?

I prefer gametypes that bring the team togethere into the realisation of an objectif, like HQ, CTF, TOW, DOM, BAS, SAB, and so on. But there, it really depends on what the server's population is.

I mean if you have only clan's playing then they will communicate and the teams will act as teams. On the other hand a totally public server will give you only random people that possibly will run at random just for the sake of a kill.

The main flaw in most multiplayer FPS is that the number of kills is rewarding on a more consistent level than any objectif based gametype.

BTW: The Ben's Small Bible of Realistic Multiplayer Level Design is a must to read.
