Gnaw and Invasion sound great.

[Soldan]

Nice, I think that is what is drawing me to this game the most is there is not "one best way" to play. You have to mix it up on all the maps. Invasion sounds very interesting, so does wind farm. Streets was frustrating until I got a handle on the different roles abilities.

[SuperRabbit]

The Invasion map reminds me of some of the maps on BF2 where you had to invade from one side or the other. Those were my favorite maps. I'd likely still be playing that game if people ever picked any maps other than Backstab and Bridge Too Far.

It was always neat to set up a defense / decide how to attack. I hope some of the others ones are not symmetrical like that as well. Would peak my interest even more.
