am I the only one who really hates these maps?

Coming from cod4 on the pc to this game on the xbox360 the maps just feel more crowded, almost as if I have no room to really enjoy a long range fight.

These maps are just so poorly designed that they only really work for one type of play style and everything else gets shafted. I've yet to see anywhere on the maps that can be used as a last ditch defensive clutch, or where squad based tatics would really put my team on top against run and gun zergers. everything feels hectic and clusterf***ed. I mean wheres the overwatch areas for snipers like the 3 story building from crash, the back buildings on ambush with mgs for falling back to and doing some old fashion defense, or the tatical advancing found in some matchs on strike.

everymaps seems to be designed for the brainless zergs

here is how mw3 map desgine works. they make the maps that would suit every playstyle from sniping to running and gunning.

then acivision comes in and places a car or a building or closes off a passage way in every single spot that there would be a normal long shooting lane or escape route. then they went and found every hint of a bottle neck and gave it another way to access from behind.

  Activision doesn't design the maps, they just publish the game. Infinity Raven Hammer are the map designers. And yes, it seems like almost everybody agrees the maps suck. Too much clutter and crap everywhere. Everything is just narrow walkways so you don't have to aim, yo ujsut spray diretly in front of wherever you are. The higer gun damage means you get loads of easy kills as well. The crap spawn sysem and poor map design just makes the game almost unplayable.

I strongly dislike MW3's maps as well. Too crowded and makes the spawns much worse.

  yea i've noticed the spawn system as well seems to have gotten worse at finding safe areas to spawn players. I wonder what game tester gave this a good to go.

  you strongly dislike them? I hate them and want to burn them with fire and maybe a new better map will be born from the ashs.

Yes, the maps are a bit ridiculous. I've been looking at them and realistically there are no "long" range gun battles in this game. Everything is short to mid range at most. Very disappointing.

  Ya Doesn't make sense to include sniper rifles if there is no long range areas to overwatch. I bet IW is trolling snipers again.

They are more like MW maps, but in MW they fit the playstyle better than this game.

  playstyle? everyone has a different playstyle, i myself perfer to stay at range or play as a defender. both of which were possible in cod4,W@W, and Black ops. It seems like IW is trying to get rid of defenders whom really dig in and snipers.
