What maps are good for competition

Simple Question. pls. go over all maps (even if it's just yes or no) if you have the time, whether or not they can be played competitevely

Heres what I think, but I'm probably wrong

2Fort, fine, but you'll say it's for nubs

Dustbowl, love it, but you'll say SPAM SPAM SPAM

Well, Granary, Fastlane, Badlands...all fine

Gravelpit,fine

Hydro, you'll find a reason

Goldrush, see Dustbowl

Badwater, see Goldrush

Arena, fine

Steel, you'll find a reason

Turbine, see Steel

CTF Well, who plays that?


so, how close was I?

granary

not really surprised

any ctf is horrible in this game, especially 2fort.  In my near year of comp play, in 4 different leagues, its been played.... 3 times?  Its just not fun and a turtlefest.

dustbowl takes 2 hours to do, the last point is just too much of a choke point.  Its a bad map overall, the design is horrid.

well, granary and badlands are good.  Fastlane is horrible, bad respawn times, the last cp is a very bad design and too close to respawn and too easy to defend.

gravel is good

hydro is just shit, pure small choke points and last points are not even so the balance gets messy.  Another bad map.

goldrush is semi ok, still too much like dustbowl

badwater is great, i've only played it a couple times in comp play and its fun as hell.  Multiple flanking routes, wider choke points, good respawns.  overall good.

haven't seen an arena league yet, would be ok.  But would be smaller, 3v3 or something like that.

Steel is fine, while it is a majority of small choke points after you cap A you can flank easier and theres always the chance of capping the last point at any time.

Turbine did get played, but its a heavy spawn camping map once you can take it.  Midfield is too easily held as well because one spot can cover all exits, its not played much anymore.

I like goldrush and especially gravelpit for casual play, but for competitive (not that I compete officially) play, I'm in love with badwater and arena maps (though granary and well less so.)

I've also found hydro to be a ton of fun casually (as spy. As scout, the spamfest sucks.)

I'm just curious why I'm suddenly seeing so much dustbowl badmouthing. I don't have any map variety on the ps3, so half of the ones mentioned here I can't even play... But dustbowl is my favorite map. Is it really that bad compared to the others? :|

What do you guys think of cp_labor? I thought it takes way too long, but ive only played it once.

I'm talking about Stock maps

It's pretty bad yes, because it is spammy and some places, like the last point on stage 3, are just complete failmates. Other stock maps like this are goldrush and hydro.

2fort is just bad.

We always choose Badlands as our map to play
