    If anyone has made a really good quality BTB map or knows of one, could they please post me a link. I need them for a regular BTB custom night.

    What I'm looking for (ideally):

    - Original layouts, rather than hemorrhage/paradiso with different bases.
    - Split screen compatible.
    - Good balance between infantry and vehicles.
    - Reasonably competitive in nature with neutral(ish) power positions (but see below), weapons etc.

    What I don't want:

    - Crazy 'cragmire' style maps with heavy weapons smeared all over the place.
    - Montaska bridge maps with just one point of crossing.
    - Anything on the island unless the central mountain is out of bounds.
    - Power positions that can see the entire map.

    Thanks in advance to anybody who helps me out with this.

    I'm sure you know about S but I'm shouting it out anyway, just in case.
    As well as Embarcadero.

    These two are amazing, easily some of the best BTB maps there are in Reach. Nutduster made a fun falcon based one too, Hivemind. I would recommend checking that out too.

    I have a Waterworks successor in my fileshare (gt: TrivialProdigy), check it out if you'd like. Still needs lots of testing.

    Are you kidding me? Asphalt is the second worst BTB map I've seen in Reach's history!!
    (Hemorrhage definitely takes the first spot there.)

    Asphalt Heavy is bad, But the basic design of the map iOS fine as long as it isn't overloaded with vehicles and power weapons. And come on, we all know Cragmire is the worst.

    This is a decent list Pyro made. There really aren't enough good BTB maps out there.

    EDit: And I'd add your new map Plague to the list as well. That is a good one.

    * pyro wonders if remkings noticed it's in alphabetical order

    I don't think asphalt is as bad as so many people think. I'm not really a fan of the heavy variant or the heavy variants of any of the other maps for that matter but it's still fun to play occasionally.

    Cragmire isn't as bad after the update but still far from a good map. I miss owning with the scorpions though.

    I'm sure I sound like a retard by saying this but what's the difference?

    Asphalt's design when it comes to layout isn't too bad. For the rest, I hate it. The weapons, the vehicles, the used objects, the framerate, everything.

    I've never played Cragmire so I can't tell for that map.

    What about that map in matchmaking starts with a r it's like a reimagination of Valhalla.

    There's also rasu in matchmaking.

    That's a decent map but I don't think anyone finds it very fun and it's not that well built.

    Oh also one of my friends maps I enjoyed quite a bit.(terrible vid but great map)
    It's called facility but I think he changed the name to breakdown (I suggested it to him for a less generic name)I'll talk to him about putting it back on his fileshare
