Olympus is the best map + reasoning

Here's my reasoning as to why olympus is the best map, if you have a different opinion i'd love to hear it.

1: It's the most aesthetically pleasing map, by far.

Storm point is pretty and worlds edge looks cool, but they both fall short when it comes to aesthetic. It has an amazing futuristic city feel and all of it just looks so clean and smooth. king's canyon is by far the worst in aesthetic. However, aesthetic is not the only thing that makes a map good which brings me to my second point:

 

2: the size

 

Not too big like storm point and worlds edge, but perfect so you run into enemies semi frequently and not only at the end. Olympus and king's canyon win out this category.

 

3: trident roads

 

I know this is a weird thing to like, but i love tridents. Olympus's tridents are far better than Storm Point's. The main reason for this is that olympus introduced the tridents, so it was a big focus in that map. The same can not be said for storm point. For storm point, it just feels like the tridents are very out of place and just stuffed in there to get more things in it.  There are no clear roadways for tridents in storm point. Olympus, however, has multiple areas that tridents excel on, making them actually viable in rotations. Again, it's a weird thing to like, but i do.

 

4: Drop locations

 

Hot dropper? Fine! Plenty of places for you! Not a hot dropper? Awesome! Tons of locations that no one ever goes to that still have good loot!

 

TL;DR: Olympus has the best aesthetic. 

             Olympus has the best size, tied with king's canyon.

             Trident's are useful and much more fun in Olympus than 

             Storm point.

             Olympus has the best drop locations, for hot droppers or                   not!

But that's just my opinion, if you agree, let me know! If you disagree, again, let me know! If you were wondering, this is my map list, from worst to best

4: storm point

3: worlds edge

2: king's canyon

1: Olympus!

This took a long time to make and thank you for reading! Have a good day!

  • @Noobby_Groovy777 Nice post! I agree with a lot of things especially with the aesthetic of the map. It looks so good! It's my second most favorite map right after World's Edge. Also, the loot is the best. Less looting, and more fighting!

    I'm curious, if your favorite map is Olympus, what do you think can Respawn do to improve it? Since there's no perfect map, what's bad about the map?

    Thanks for replying, yes Olympus isn't perfect. I've noticed the huge open areas to be really sniper abuseable especially near the high walkways near Hammond Labs, so if there's one thing i could change it would be all the high ground in huge areas. Thanks again for replying!

  • @Noobby_Groovy777 Nice post there. I agree to a point, but I have to agree with @Cheese9Man for Worlds Edge at the very top or a split first. Since I tend to play ranked now and again I favor olympus and worlds edge as the other maps is brutal in ranked. I love playing pubs on Olympus, my favorite pubs map ahead of Worlds edge actually but for ranked I like Worlds edge a tad better 🙂
  • @Noobby_Groovy777 Olimpus is tricky. It is this close to best map, but 2 things really ruined it. God awful color palette, and really obnoxious waterfall area. If they would fix those two, I wouldnt play any other map ever
  • @Srksii Color palette does not bother me at all, but yeah. The waterfall place kinda sucks. I mostly try to avoid it except its one of the best ways into turbine, so you really can't.

    @Noobby_Groovy777 Color palette is ok when you are young and have good vision, but it will burn your eyes in time like welding machine. I can vouch for that! All that blue and white colors are least you wanna look on monitor for long time

    @Noobby_Groovy777 @Srksii I agree they should remove that house and ramp going up to the waterfalls. It’s really amazing how a singular small house can attract multiple squads. The whole labs/phase runner/waterfalls area is a sniper’s heaven.
