whaaat is a good popular kind of map

[eightbraker]

what kind of map is most popular online?

 

[Pritrostell]

Dota

Island Defense

Footies

Regular maps

thats about it, and most everything is bot hosted nowadays

 

[Tawnttoo]

There are numerous RPGs and ORPGs as well. And LOAPs.

 

[skyblader]

I don't think LOAPs are fun...

 

[Nherwyziant]

Don't forget Element TD 4.2 and Warcraft IV Edge of Eternity

 

[Ice Snake]

AOS, FOOTMEN WAR and CASTLE DEFENSE

 

[Shadow]

I love team based survival games like Night of the Dead or undead assualt.

 

[Jscooby]

I also see a lot of Tree Tags, I personally love it.

Among the ones that are already posted. (LOAPS are pointless to me...)

 

[Dirac]

Battle ships

LOAP

wtf is a loap?

 

[Jscooby]

Life of a peasant.

Basically a roleplaying type of thing

 

[Tawnttoo]

...which is practically boring roaming as a villager in a city-like map while nothing happens.

 

[skyblader]

Exactly. There's no point to that game.

 

[Lifee]

Dota RPG HERO DEFENS MAZE AND TD

 

[Babybro]

Hero defence maps...

 

[Wesulmoon]

but there is a big difference betwen popular and good map... i played rly good maps which were never popular... like Age of Myths and pyramide escape and so on... also those with different style of gameplay...

 

[INCINERATE]

according to this site http://www.mapgnome.org/browse/sort-hosted/east30d/1

which records all games played on battlenet, with almost 100% accuracy .

the 3 most popular maps are

1 Dota ( of-course)
2 Legion TD War
3 Footmen Frenzy 5.4

These 3 maps are hosted double/triple the amount of times more compared to the next closest competitor .


this is true for all realmns except kalimdor

 

[Slapshot136]

Dota isn't a type of map, it is a map, the map type is AOS (Aeon of Strife, from the original starcraft)

there are popular maps from pretty much every category, but AOS, TD (tower defense), and RPG's are what I think are the most popular and where most of the above fits in

 

[Questionaire]

Azeroth Wars is my all time fav but no one ever hosts it....

 

[GaryOak]

tech wars maps, like castlefight and preschool tech wars, are pretty fun. But they're not hosted often enough :/

you do realise that this is totally inaccurate - its more of a competition of who can flood the game list with as many bots as possible

give me a dozen cd-keys and a better connection, and I'll make Invasion of the Giant Penis Men the most popular map on battle.net of all time
