I really like blade run, mainly because it was very open compared to Nivosus and Frostbyte, which have bases that give you a cramped feeling. Most routes on Frostbyte involve OD or using the back hill to slide down to grab flag/ go up with flag. The same goes with Nivo, except for a simple side route that has a odd return. I know there is a back route for Nivo, but it's hard to angle yourself to grab to flag and manage to not hit an ammo station or the walls.

The hills really aren't that bad, when you kill an LO, he doesn't come back in 10 seconds. Blade run is probably the only map that allows the defense to actually get ammo and heal. Even though Zenith is a big map, it only takes about 15 seconds to get there with a front route, maybe more.

I mean what's not to like about Blade Run, the bases are decent, the hills aren't rough and allow you to pick up speed without hitting an odd hill, and the returns are good. I think I have reach at least 200 easily without a rocket jump on blade run, which makes the over powered defense balanced. ( Short respawn time, netfix allows easier blocking, midairing, and hofing.)

What I really like about Blade run is that you can actually run a side route without multiple rocket jumps and get a clean grab. Also, after getting a nice grab you don't have a chaser on you after he rocket jumps out of the front of the base. I think chasing is too easy most of the time because most return routes are 130-150 and with a rocket jump a chaser can go faster then you and beat you to the base and own you.

All blade run needs is a few hill fixes and it could very well be a nice map. Also, I don't think you need a lot of players to play the map. 12 players is enough to play any map in my opinion; no matter the size.

tl;dr - Just bring back blade run and throw away quarry, mirage, and forgotten.

ok, so the small maps are great for dm but bad for ctf, larger maps are great on rabbit and ctf, not so much dm, and the really large maps are good for rabbit, so so on ctf, and horrable on dm. Just sayin, size does matter.

Please bring back the only map where I can go 250! That was so fun

Maybe with some editing yes.

I would like Mirage and Forgotten (With a large number of editing) to come up first though before this.
Well you got one of those wishes didn't you? But yeah, Forgotten needs to come back soon. We used to play capture the bridge on that, where you had to be the last man standing on the middle bridge... ahh good times

Here's a portion of a post I made a week or so ago in a thread about Mirage:

I think the purpose of making Gorge was to replace Quarry. Just look at how similar its terrain in the middle is to its predecessor. Basically you have two hard-to-traverse valleys surrounding a hill with big structures that harbor snipers galore. The only major differences between the maps are the size, which did improve; the design of the bases, although even the slopes in the back of the bases haven't changed; and the lighting, which was troublesome for quite a few players in the case of Quarry. For those of you hopeful snipers and cappers looking forward to Quarry's return, don't expect it to happen without some careful editing.
 
The last version of Quarry everyone played was not the latest installment of it. Remember, IA making a mistake and bringing back an older (MUCH ROUGHER) model. The best one was fairly smooth and I enjoyed it. I like Quarry better than Bladerun myself.

I'm not sure what it was, maybe it was the lighting effects, but I always lagged more than usual on Quarry than other maps. I also felt that some of the interior of the bases were superfluous and were not useful for cappers/defense. They were only good places to put ammo stations and recharge health.

IMO they should get rid of all of the maps except for Frostbyte, Zenith, and Nivosus. Gorge is ok for comp when there are even teams, but otherwise it's kinda boring (coughforgotten).

Just saying.

Why would you honestly want old maps like Quarry, when time can be spent to make newer and better maps?

Look to the future, not the past of old bad maps.

More maps the better in my opinion. It probably should be part of every pub rotation, but it should be an option on some. Maybe if map voting comes around it could be part of the normal rotation on every server...

I can live without Nivosus and Mirage... But I would love to have Quarry back. I remember two versions from IA, and I think I liked the older one better. The one where the base had only one tunnel going under it... It wasn't quite as fast as the next version, but dueling was a lot more fun.

Is the future Gorge? I vote old bad over new horribad.
