I hadn't posted on this one up to now cos I disagree with most of the map 
choices so far :)

All the following is IMHO:
Cliff (and variants) is an abomination. If I'm going to die, I want to be 
shot, not fall off a f**king rock.
Punwar is the most horrific looking map I've ever seen, and I've seen 
some shite in my time (it's worse than _dream_, for God's sake).
Hostage2 is only really good if the player count is below 2 figures, 
preferably around 6.
Urban2 is better than the other urbans (hate day maps), but probably 
isn't well suited to DM.

Haven't even seen cheyenne on an FTP server, so I can't comment there, 
and I haven't played KGB2 in a long time.

No-one seems to have mentioned office3 or mall2 (classics, IMHO). The new 
ones like tokyo, downtown, midtownx and subway99 haven't turned up 
either, which surprises me.
