in my opinion frostbite is the worst arena of them all
because of the size ,the traps,the capping problems ETC
well everybody knows the problems in frostbite
its kinda weird cuz my name is related to ice and i was hating the frostbite as i said back there

Frostbite and Downtown. Spawn camping in the former, spikes all over the place in the latter. It really kills the flow of battle.
Kinda curious about the rest of you, why the dislike of said stages?
Avenue is CLEARLY the worst map in the game. Can't believe nobody has said this yet.
1: Snowballs. Too many snowballs. Snowballs under cap points bad!
2: Slushpuppy where Slushpuppy aught not be (ie. in Lockdown).
3: Terrible layout. Just really poorly designed.
4: Points are hard to defend
5: Bases are easily camped (small choke points with anti-tank barriers (why??)
6: 4+5 means more base camping than any other map.
7: Snowfall particle effects lower FPS.
8: Lockdown's map selector seems to choose this map more frequently than any other. I've played sessions where Avenue was selected 5 times in a row.
Most definitely Avenue because of the map layout and FPS drop. I don't like Frostbite either, but the floor hazards make it better than Avenue. (I really like floor hazards.)
Avenue is the worst in terms of layout. The 'go south' mentality added with the camping mentality along side blind spots call for an unpleasant experience. Recon Footsteps is just the icing on the poop patty.
Mines is also the worst not because of the health pad distracting from the core gameplay by encouraging camping, but because of the needless FPS drops. Seriously, there's nothing graphics intensive going on. There aren't even any snowfall effects that Lagbite, Makin-My-Way Downtown, and Ave-manure have. Why is my FPS dipping below 20 when it's otherwise 45 and above?
Downtown and Mines:
Because they're the only places people constantly teleport and walk off the map.
I actually like Frostbite.
Thought you may see recon footsteps, it allows for easy assassinations due to the many pathways it has.
In my opinion, Downtown is worst for me due to the amount of space and the position of the points. People could just polaris spam people who are on the points, trapping them towards the corner if unprepared. Though the spikes only stun, they can cause mishaps if even just the tip of your toe touches them. Plus waiting for them to go down is quite the hassle.
