Last night was a lot of fun. We had a moderate turnout, with each side having seven players at high tide. Thoughts on a few of the maps:

Waterfall: This map provided some of the best urban combat I've seen in the game. Every class came into play, with snipers finding high vantage points, riflemen covering low and long, and submachine gunners clearing buildings. I enjoyed this action a lot.

Flak Batterie: Very nice action on a wide open map, with plenty of flanking. Similar to Brecourt, but quite a bit bigger. We only had a few people on this map, but it was still great fun.

V2 Rocket Facility: Once people stopped getting lost so much (), things got pretty intense in this map. Most of the fighting took place near the objectives, as expected, and this action was brutal. One of the funniest things I saw was when my team was defending, and about four of the attackers came out one of the lower doors; as each one came out, he was dropped by one of our defending riflemen. Strangely, instead of backing up and finding another route (or popping smoke to cover their movement), they just kept coming. BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM! Like lemmings.

Valley of the Kings: Lots of LONG range exchanges of fire on this map (I had a kill with an unscoped bolt-action rifle from 191 yds). With more people, this map would be a bolt-action lover's dream. After everyone left for the night, I found a tunnel that runs underneath the middle portion of the map, with one end coming out near objective B. This would be very useful during the fighting!

Stalag 17B: Very intense CQB, with submachine gunners getting the majority of the kills. For the attacking team, planting the bomb wasn't all that hard, but defending it until detonation certainly was. Definitely one of the harder maps for attackers.

Moelingen: This map provided some nice, balanced action. Riflemen seemed to dominate here, as much of the fighting was low and long. The objectives are both in the open, so smoke cover was almost a necessity.

Pursuit 5: This map didn't stay in play for very long because of all the teamkills. To me, this says that too many people were running and gunning, without taking the time to identify their targets. Not a very good showing for TG folks.

Secret Airfield: This map started off fairly rocky because nobody knew where to go or what to do. On top of that, a high level of coordination is required among all of the various classes on a team in order to achieve the objectives, and this wasn't happening until the later rounds. I can see this map as being the most fun for a highly coordinated team.
