There's a vote right now for the map that will have a 24/7 playlist leading up to the DLC on the 27th.

Comeback is winning. Then Detroit, somehow? Then Solar and Riot.

2-4 above are probably my bottom three.

Detroit, comeback and biolab are the ones i find it easiest to get frankly absurd amounts of kills on.
Detroit especially is the best map for grinding terrible guns.

Detroit and Solar are probably my favourite maps with Comeback and Biolab falling into my least liked maps and then Riot qualifying as worst map in the game.

Where do I find this vote? I've looked on all the links on the Call of Duty website but can't find it or is it one of these stupid things where I need to be living within the US just like with the Dewritos promo?

I used to like Solar, but recent experience suggests that standing still for more than an eyeblink will get you evaporated by some bounding shitbag with an ASM1.

Horizon is dead last by a fair amount, btw.

I feel comeback, terrace, biolab, and green band are the good Dom maps this time.

I'd have to say defender is the worst, not because of the layout itself, but because it either doesn't load at loving all (PC), or it does and chugs for the first 3 minutes making it nigh on unplayable. Horizon is likely my least fav of all the other maps, though honestly this is the first COD since MW2 where I've not had any real issues with any of the maps at all, they all feel pretty well laid out with plenty of room to dick about, especially on recovery where the map is double sized for a brief spell. It does bug me how much stuff you can't seem to climb on top of that looks like you should be able to.

I am starting to feel that using the ASM1 is like using the UMP in MW2 though, it just rips people apart so easily.

:hfive: I agree with this 100%. I'm also a big fan of Retreat and Ascend.

Comeback and Riot are absolute shitpiles.

edit: Speaking of the DLC, by the way, I'm curious to see whether they follow Ghosts's stupid as gently caress system of "only having the DLC maps in a special DLC only playlist until the next DLC comes out" or if they are immediately added to the rotation Treyarch style.

what horror the gas

Some of my best games have been on Comeback, sitting on B behind a riot shield with locked down XMGs. I also have fun mocking people for falling in the hole on Greenband, because seriously it's not that hard to remember where it is and how to jump over it.

Riot I've also had good games on, same XMG strategy in the fire tunnel, but that happens less and less often these days. If I can't post up there successfully it's a terrible match from my PoV.

There are only two reasons to like Comeback:
1. Walker Tanks
2. Hearing Fallin complain about the fact that we are playing Comeback

The map has no other redeeming qualities.

It's way better than the UMP up close at first - three shot kill at 1000 rpm out to ~41' for the first eight rounds of a burst (all rounds if using the Speakeasy), as opposed to a three shot kill forever but at 630 rpm.

A closer comp would be a silenced FAMAS/AUG from Blops 1. Three-shot kills to about the same distance at 937.5 rpm.

I just sold my copy on ebay - I tried to give it another shot last week but I just can't get into it. I fired up BLOPS2 and had way more fun in a few random matches than I have the entire time playing this.

What are the cool kids playing now to tide me over until next fall?

I think AW may have the worst shotguns since 4.

I wish the shotgunners were as vocal as the quickscopers. Might actually get a decent gun.

One of my friends keeps trying to get me to dig out MW2 for exactly that reason, though every time he does he then remembers he has no idea where his copy is so it doesn't matter.

My girlfriend is posting higher scores in Destiny control than I do in CoD dom these days, it's distressing.
