Survival Games 1- 4/10: I have enjoyed this one at times, but normally I find the matches on it to be quite long and boring. Let's just say, no new maps should be inspired by this original.
Survival Games 2- 5/10: I really wish I could give this a higher rating; it's a map most of the pros love to pieces, but I honestly have never really enjoyed playing on it. I'm not the biggest fan of city maps with huge buildings and vines, and it is pretty big, so that could be a factor. I've also never really found a chest route that's always good and that I can remember. I'll have to work on this one.
Survival Games 3- 7/10: I will be willing to play this one any time. I have a fairly good chest route, and I've been able to win with it a few times. Yes, it's big, but it's the kind of big that works with the map; for example there aren't really any huge areas that have absolutely nothing as some maps have, at least not that I've noticed.
Survival Games 4- 9/10: Okay, so it is ridiculously overplayed, but it's for a good reason. It does offer an amazing PVP experience, it's always easy to find people, and it has generous chest placement. But, the reason I don't give it 10/10 is because it does get boring and kind of routine-ish when it's played so often. But, when played in moderation, it's absolutely amazing.
Survival Games 5- 7/10: I think this map is actually pretty good, but I have to take the lag into consideration, which knocks off a couple points for me. Also, the corn can be quite annoying, especially that part where you have to jump down and run into your route at the beginning of the game without being punched to death in the water as you struggle to find your tunnel.
Breeze Island- 2/10: No. Just no. It's a beautifully built map, but in terms of gameplay, it's a major dud. I can't understand why it's so often voted. I think, and I've said before, it's an easy map to "get lucky" on, for example being able to knock someone off of the mountains, which is where I think the best routes are. People think of that fact and so they vote it. But in terms of needing to have skill to win on it, I'd say this one does not have that.
Insanity Cause- 3/10: Jungles are not fun to PVP and search for chests in. Also a high water level. I can win on it, but I don't enjoy playing it at all. Extra point for the corn though, I actually like the look of it a lot.
Teweran SG 1- 5/10: Believe it or not, this used to be my favorite map. But after playing MCSG more and more I began to realize the PVP and gameplay on it was not very good, despite it being a map with an above-average build quality. The dragon is simply amazing.
Teweran SG 2- 10/10: For me; but probably not most others, but for me; this is the perfect MCSG map. No, I'm not saying that just because of the theme, which is also amazing. The gameplay on it is absolutely fantastic. It has the possibility for such a wide variety of PVP situations; there are cliffs, flat deserts, mountains, a little bit of water, a town... It's just awesome, and in terms of build quality, it's second to none. My route on this appears to be quite OP, as it's won me 8 in a row on it as of now. I just love it like I love no other.
Kharmunrah- 8/10: I think most people hate it, but I love it. Yeah, the buildings and structures may feel out of place and cluttered in some spots, but I really actually enjoy the gameplay. Knocking people down the pyramid is MCSG fun to the extreme. The other reason I take off a couple points is because it is an extreme pain finding people hiding on it.
Fortress Pyke- 3/10: Lately, at least for me, this map is becoming almost overplayed. I personally hate this one. Once again, I don't like the idea of huge buildings with vines you have to climb, and to make it even worse they're in the middle of a huge sea. Too much water. There are other areas of the map but it just isn't a fun one to play on for me.
Survival Kingdom- 4/10: I have never enjoyed playing this one. Now, the buildings are fantastic, but I don't see good gameplay with it. There are too many chests. I also lag horribly on this, though that's only because of my computer. The dispensers that have special Golden apples are just ridiculous, if you are the first to get to one of these, you have a guaranteed win unless you fail miserably at chasing someone.
Ancient Japan- 1/10: Absolutely horrendous. I mean this one is bad. Horrible gameplay. The buildings look cool, but it's all just so repetitive and symmetrical it just doesn't have that non-artificial feeling that I look for in a map. And to be honest, this map is the absolute worst for me in terms of lag; I lag so bad I literally can't win on this no matter what gear I have. Once again, that's just my computer talking, but I have to take that into consideration.
Moonlight Lake- 1/10: I was so disappointed with this map. When I first played it, I thought it was going to be one of my favorites. The corn is completely new and unlike any other. But, beyond that bowl which I normally can't get outside of due to having someone try to punch me to death as I make my way up and out, it's gross. How does a map with basically no terraforming whatsoever get into MCSG? It's so freaking small and cramped with all those trees I feel like every single noob in the game is going to be coming at me from all directions trying to fist me to death. The chest placement is so awkward in my opinion, and there are some damn ugly buildings too. Aside from Japan, this is my absolute least favorite. You won't see me playing on it.
Asia Games- 5/10: The corn area of this map looks great, I think it looks very Asia-ish. But, go farther out in any direction, and yeah, what the heck were they thinking? An ice area and a desert on the same map? My route on this map has literally almost only tier 2 chests as well, making it near impossible to get a diamond or iron sword or even a weapon at all for that matter. I have had some good games on it, but I don't enjoy it at all. It's also extremely difficult to find people on.
Solar Frost- 9/10: You either love it or you hate it, and I love it. It's small, but not so small that you feel you're trapped and have nowhere to go (Moonlight Lake). Excellent chest placement and generous amounts of both Tier 1's and Tier 2's, and the bloodbaths that can be seen around corn in literally every single match are a delight. Great map.
Removed:
MCSG Ruins- 2/10: I got my first MCSG win ever on this map, and played it I think 2 times other than that. Disgusting. That is all.
Hungry Hills- 6/10: Obviously too large and stingy when it came to chests, but I have had some memorable games on it, and it really could be fun depending on whether or not you had to spend 30 minutes searching for people. Also, corn was a pain to get to. I would like this back as a 48-player map though.
Skylands Survival- 2/10: Yuck. Horrible. Gameplay was so lacking on this one. Almost no structures whatsoever and any that there were looked terrible. Don't bring this back. I used to love playing it instead of SG4 or Breeze though.
Overgrown Arena- 7/10: I thought this map was beautiful. Some really nice building was done on this, and the games could be fun, but I always had trouble finiding chests, and didn't enjoy it too much. I would love this to replace Insanity Cause.
Yellowstone- 2/10: Was not fun to play at all. There were chests, but it was simply not fun. Nuff said.
