I enjoy both Arena 2Fort and Freight. Freight is an interesting map that has been tweaked many times, and though some of the most recent changes make the map worse in my opinion, it's still a lot of fun. Good flanking opportunities for the Scouts, some good spots for Engineers, and a lot of potential train deaths with the different speed trains all over the place.

Arena 2Fort cuts out a lot of the issues with the most annoying stock map out there and makes it playable. Though, for an arena map, there's a lot of places still for Engineers to camp out. Fortunately, the addition of the ramps up from the water and the one into the spawn room make it a lot easier to traverse this map effectively.

Chaos is too much of a clusterfuck for more than 14 or 16 people. Once you get a full server playing this, there's almost no room to move, and it doesn't wind up being that much fun. You almost need an Engineer to guard your intel, and another to help when the inevitable Spy shows up with a Scout in tow. Also, bit of a spamfest in some places. I'm not voting for this one.

I like freight, It's a good map that really uses the trains to their fullest, they are actually a part of the game play, instead of randomly killing some space head once in a while (not to say I've never been killed by a train). It's also used a lot competitively as far as I can tell.

Chaos, is well Chaos, I can see it would be fun with a small amount of people if the server needs to get up and running, but it seems that every life lasted about 15 seconds. So I can't really back this one.

I have no idea what 2fort area is like because i slept through the first map.
