It's up there, right with the rest of the MW3 maps.
Foundation wins hands down !!!!!
I would say top 5 worst maps in MW3 (DLC included).
5. Aground
4. Seatown
3. Foundation
2. Carbon
1. Downturn
As a rusher I hated downturn. Now I just camp the bus.
Downturn is an awesome map.
Don't see why people complain that MW3 maps are terrible compared to MW2. If they're that bad go and play MW2.
If you're doing a top 5 worst maps in CoD history then it would be this (In no particular order)
1) Bootleg
2) Fuel
3) Cracked
4) Liberation
5) Foundation
Downturn is certainly in my Top 10 of worst map in COD history.
I despise Outpost more than Downturn though.

MW2's maps are more open & allowed for various playstyles, proper sniping (not quickscoping) & generally better spawn placements.
MW3's maps are like an anthill simulator (as Vahn described them). Cluttered & narrow maps with too many objects to bump into. Built for players to constantly crouch walk around corners. Spawns are awful as well.
I wouldn't mind playing some MW2 but it's dominated by OMA Tubers and MLC tactical knifers. Also, game is still hacked for PS3 players. Maps are great though.
People hate the map that they suck on..A lot of people hate all the MW3 maps, because they are bad at the game...
Get the trend?

I'm going to respectfully disagree with that statement.
If you want to put stats into hating maps, I'd like to point out that I'm doing much better in MW3 than I did in MW2. My e-peen ratio is around 1.94 in MW3. In MW2, I had around a 0.90 e-peen ratio but I preferred a majority of MW2's maps than MW3's despite doing better in MW3.
Lastly my SPM & K/D is higher on Downturn than it is on Resistance but I do prefer Resistance over Downturn.
i like downturn.
Foundation for domination is awesome
Foundation gets so much hate but its one of my fave DOM maps! Downturn is'nt great but it is defo not the worse
Downturn.
Bakaara.
Interchange.
Foundation.
i avoid these maps all the time,even if it costs me a loss , for personally i think they are the worst,
Sanctuary is crap in domination.
It mainly comes down to game modes and who your against.
Sometimes black box is boring like when the other team just snipes
Yes, I would have to say this is the worst map I've ever played, though I hated Crisis and cracked with a passion in black ops, just not as much as downturn.
Ugg...Cracked...That brings back some painful memories...I think that may get my vote. But it would be like Klutch says, it was a map that I just could not seem to get a rhythm for and did poorly.
I really disliked Wet Work and Hanoi but Downturn wins hands down
From BO and MW3, aint played the rest. The worst has got to be something like Array or Bakkara. Excluding map pack maps otherwise its prolly soming like Hazard or Liberation. Huge maps are sooooo boring.
"Huge maps are so boring" reminds me of fuel.....
in no particular order....
1) underpass (it's ok sometimes)
2) discovery
3) downturn
4) carbon
5) aground
6) bailout
7) array
8) villa
mw2 and cod4 maps are the best! i love their layouts and how big they are! that's something that mw3 lacks. if it was truly like them, the spawn system would be WAY better.
I don't think its all that bad, not one of my favorites. I honestly don't think that any of the MW3 maps are going to be all that memorable once its day is over. I don't think we will be seeing people in future Forum posts on future titles begging for MW3 maps to be brought back like they did with Terminal and others.
Yes, the majority of MW3 maps suck. WAW is close to having maps that suck hard. In order of games with best maps since COD4 I would say.
1.COD4
2.MW2
3.BLOP
23.WAW
49.MW3
I skipped a lot of ranks because MW3 maps are that much garbage. Does anyone know how much sledgehammer games came into play in creating maps?
Yes. I only play it on private matches.
Worst map is all opinion, but I think its very safe to say that after playing all of the CoDs, Downturn is the least voted for launch map in the history of the franchise. There have been some bad DLC maps, but this map has been shunned since the word go. It rarely comes up in the rotation, and is almost always overwhelmingly voted down, and on the rare instance its not, most people back out.
no point in discussion.. everyone has their own opinions and MOST of the posted opinions i've seen, i disagree with.. all the maps have its ups and downs.. the comparison with mw2 maps vs mw3 maps to me seems that mw2's were a bit more open, better sight lines for snipers and made it better for ALL types of players.. in mw3, there's only a handful of maps you can really snipe from.. i mean, you can TRY every map, but you're not going to be successful.
foundation would be fine if it was just bigger... you can basically camp in your spawn and snipe the other spawn.. if the just stretched it out a bit, i think foundation would be fine.
After playing it some more I dont think downturn is the worst ever. It can be quite fun in domination. I think the problem with it is the greyscale and the fact it matches the uniforms of both squads. I think more people would like it if they changed the uniforms to black so they did not blend in so much with all the clutter on the map.
My least favorite MP maps in MW3 from a domination point of view
Liberation
Sanctuary
Carbon
Blackbox
Outpost
I dont think there has ever been a better map for a camper than Downturn. Im not talking about your "hold down an area" camper. I mean your dark corner campers. And not even the noob ones because those are the easy ones to take ot. I mean the little sneaky ones who know all the good spots and how to get there without getting killed. And on this map the can really leave you stumped on has of where they will take you out next.
It's up there. My MW3 bottom five, one being the worst:
5. Bootleg
4. Carbon
3. Downturn
2. Outpost
1. Aground (The spawn trapping is horrendous)
