I'd say Taraba Quarry is. 2 bombers, 2 jets and no cover = suck map.

Not only that but it's a horrible muddy colour and there's nothing interesting on the map anywhere.

But then, i have very little experience with the map so what do I know.

Taraba is fun, if you are inside of bomber cockpit

They were both planned at around the same time, EF was first but AF was soon afterwards. They were both being advertised before either came out.

Tampa's okay. I think Songhua and Zatar are running neck & neck for worst map in the game.

Zatar is worse than Songhua, much too monotone. At least Songhua has hills n' shit. Of course, it'd probably be better if the Blackhawk was anywhere near its former standards.

EDIT:

me in some other thread wrote:

I've gotta go with Zatar. It's too big and bland for my liking.

Ocean, ocean, Essex(!), ocean, grass, airfield(!), grass, grass, river(!), grass, grass, crashed Blackhawk(!), grass, grass, hill with ruined house(!), grass, grass, river (!), grass, grass, farm(!), grass, grass, airfield(!)

That sums up the entire map.

uh, I meant monotone in terms of color.

Zatar has plenty of color. In Tampa, even the fucking buildings are that brown color.

Songhua is one of my favorite maps... Too bad no one plays it.

Rape Island, Karkland and Jellybaby are the worst maps.

song is for me the worst map ever
i luv karkland & dragonvalley:P

Love me some Songhua. When you play with a lot of people that know what to do it can be some crazy fun flag tag.

Tampa is a good map. Fun in a plane...dogfights are rare unless you have a commander thats on the ball enough to spot out the enemy jet because of the heavy fog (or sand I guess).

Even though it's one of the best looking maps I think Fushe is one of the worst personally. I still like it because I pretty much like all the maps, but if I had to pick one to be at the bottom of the list it would be that one.

It's fun to blow up a boat full of people with a Eryx in Songhua.

Fixed for great justice.


Tampa is an awesome map for vehicle whoring. Unlike maps such as kubra/wake/etc, theres no one vehicle to dominate and everyone get a vehicle.

The worst map is wake IMO. It is designed for aircraft rapage, nothing more. Think about it: two attack helis and four jets can be airbourne at any one time. I know a map like Dragon valley can have 4 attack helis and 4 jets at a single time, but dragon valley has a massive area of land with smokestacks, oil tanks, trees, buildings and a whole plethora of cover from them. Wake is just a narrow strip of land with a few palm trees and buildings (which provide next to no cover), and no mobile AA whatsoever. 99% of matches are either J10s raping the carrier or USMC capping the airfield and using their 4 jets to buttsecks the chinese into oblivion.
I'm not entirely sure how I managed to rack up 50 hours on that godforsaken map, but I'm pretty sure if others in my clan weren't on the servers I'd have a fraction of the time I do now.
