That one that makes your heart flutter in anticipation_  The one you know inside and out and work like a pro_  The one that inspires confidence to the point of arrogance_

(I searched the thread and didn't see this poll but am sure it's been done before)

Bazaar


Facility


Front Line


Last Eco


Origin


Prosk


Uptown


Wreckage

[craftydus]

I like Origin for its mix of chokes, open long shots, verticality, and symmetrical balance.
By no means would I consider that it's necessarily my best map. But it's the most Hawken map to me.

Me too.  It's the verticality you mentioned that I like the best.  Teams moving like jitterbugs on all three axes, you won't find that on any other map.  I do like every map in it's own way, the Hawken designers did an amazing job with how much variety there is between maps; the maps change the nature of game play dramatically.

I know Bazaar and Origin like the back of my hand, but I absolutely love Wreckage. It's definitely my favorite.


I miss Valkyrie

Bazaar for sure.

Seems people favor Bazaar, Origin, Wreckage, and Prosk so far. Good to see my favorites match up.

[nepacaka]

uptown
(in general 3 uptown, prosk, origin)

[DerMax]

Uptown (because fps).

[Houruck]

Origin, the essence of HAWKEN.

[Muffintrumpet]

Origin is the best one

Uptown could be good if the two main flanking lanes had a few more shortcuts, the 'library' was opened up a bit more, and the camping level above the bridge lost the walls that cover it from the central sunken region

Last Eco is my least favorite
sooo maaany sticky bits
nightmare

Bazaar plays like a demo map that never got taken out of the rotation

[heartofdarkness]

Origin without a doubt,it sums up Hawken combat for me...tired of fighting over the choke point_Then go under & pop your vulcan out behind them while the`re distracted, makes me laugh everytime I pull that tactic out of the bag!

[Aregon]

Front-Line, Wreckage, Prosk and Uptown.

Front-Line, because of the possibilities for mechs and the simply brutal fights around the different big areas.
Wreckage, because of the simply amazing design of the map.
Prosk, because it looks bloody brilliant (like the others).
Uptown, because of the different challenges it gives to a player.

And they all look gorgeous.

Hmm... just as side note once more:

I think the poll needs of an extra option -> All maps! (or something..)

Because I love every map in the game. But at the same time I miss an offline mode to explore every map in the game alone and tranquil...

Thanks!

P.S. What about that extra option for the poll_

[UncleBlitz]

origin !....because of the Z-Axe and facility second for the clean and geometrical layout, a friendly map for newcomers imo

[gsilver]

I really like Prosk... Mostly because I'm good at that map.
Lots of hiding places, open lines of attack, and fun strategies and opportunities to flank.

[thevil]

Prosk. I just love it's layout and it's good with any mech it seems.
