Would you consider altering some of the maps and placing a -EASY tag on the end of their names.

I'd like some maps on that had little healing rooms and area's where monsters cannot spawn.

Frankly I like to lay a translocator beacon somewhere safe go fight and when I run low on health translocate back to safety, heal and go out to fight again.

Unfortunately, I do generally tend to hide in my own or someone else's base most of the time because alot of the monsters just 1 shot kill me.

We do have some maps that have hiding spots, but generally not ones you can stay for very long. Most maps with D-E-K in the title will have a hiding spot, or a base location that is fairly secure for a new engi or general to build in.

Some I recommend for newbies, either due to a hiding spot, a good base, or both:

BR-LiD-Duality-R2 - Leave trans behind bases

CTF-FP-TutorialClassic Build at either spawn point, will need at least 5 block to hold base)

CTF-TajMahal-CF - Leave trans on roof of either base

DM-1on1-Dismemberment-D-E-K-2 (link gun corridor, leave trans at end of corridor)

DM-1on1-s23-Elisha (Leave trans in vent above DD)

DM-1on1-Sargasso-CF (Leave trans on roof, build in room with bio)

DM-AChina-D-E-K-2 (small room with link is good base/trans spot, there's a tower you can leave a trans inside)

DM-AMDK-Station-D-E-K (rooms left and right of the RL pickup)

DM-Basketball-D-E-K-3 (leave trans on top of blimp - warning queens can teleport up there!)

DM-Bespin-Tribute (lots of places to leave trans behind buildings)

DM-BlockRuins-A2-7/DM-BlockRuins-A3-0 (I'll have to show you where to hide, build by keg of health)

DM-CBP2-Buliwyf-D-E-K (two good bases, by RL and small room near flak, leave trans on top of building)

DM-Cenotaph-R2 (Leave trans by DD or build in small open area by RL)

DM-Crash-XL-1 (leave trans in room above shock rifle)

DM-Deck16][2k4 (build by flak)

DM-DustStorm-DC (several good bases, I recommend the small room under the bridge by the bio, leave trans behind large crates next to ion painter or by keg of health)

DM-ForWhomTheBellTolls-FE-R (Small room full of straw)

DM-Helmzdeep-D-E-K-2 (several good bases)

DM-HyruleCastle-D-E-K-1 (Dungeon area accessible from courtyard, there is a wildcard base, build/leave your trans there or dungeon inside castle by RL)

DM-PD-G5-D-E-K-2(RL corridor)

DM-PD-Villa-CS (many places to build)

DM-sHoK-ChildsPlay2013-D-E-K (Leave trans on upper shelves in closet)

DM-Street2010 (One room has a lot of crates, you can hide behind/inside 2 of them)

DM-TDB-CartwrightHall-D-E-K-2 (Several good base rooms on lower floor, small room with DEK screenshots by Merc Launcher is a good place to leave trans)

DM-Timeless-D-E-K-2 (2 good bases for new engis, one by bio rifle in bunker, other near merc launcher)

DM-Underlord-R (Good base in flak room)

DM-UrbanBayRev1 (several good bases, leave trans in by redeemer (on top of tallest building or at the end of the tunnel by the bay)

DM-Waisten-Fix (leave trans in small room above link gun)

DM-YM-Zanzibar-D-E-K-1 (Leave trans on roof or on cliffs, build by link gun)

DM-Z3D-Stove-D-E-K (Leave trans or build by merc launcher or small room below deemer and mine layer)

DOM-UCBP-Deserted][-Beta3 (Leave trans on top of buildings behind statues)


This is not a definitive list, mind you, and there are tons of other maps with hiding spots and effective bases. You really just have to learn each map, and as you level you'll find some maps will become easier for you.

Nice. I'll have to try to remember those spots.
