If anyone is around tomorrow in the morning and early afternoon I'll hop on Teamspeak for a bit and be looking to play these maps somewhere.

So what are you guys' impressions? I am a big fan of Jagd after playing it for about an hour. I played Colmar for around 20 minutes, but found it very hard as an Allied soldier to defend the bomb long enough for it to blow, mainly because the objectives are so close to spawn. And of course in DoD, many people spawn at once, so there are waves of enemies coming at you with very little delay between them.

I did find a lot more teamwork being used on these maps in the pubs. Lots of people yelling out to direct fire or defenses. It was nice.
