Ok, tried out the new server and it is decent. There are my reviews on the 3 maps I've been on so far.
Rhen Var: OK
Pros: Enough cover to protect from force. Quite balanced for both Gunners (mostly Fetts) and Force users. Diverse areas (Narrow/Wide areas, Open/closed areas).
Cons: A lot of places to spawn camp on buildings. Spawn points to the west seem far out from the rest, lot's of running. Han, Leia & Wookie gunners will still have it difficult to avoid force/attack since there are few areas to jump from and to slow down the enemy chasing you (example: roof hoping in Mos Eisley).
Tantive 4: Not recommended
Pros: Small map so one does not need to run far to see action. Different environment compared to Mos Eisley (Large wide areas vs. Narrow small areas).
Cons: Narrow passage ways can lead to increased Team forcing & Team killing. Gunners (especially Fetts) are at a disadvantage since there are few areas to avoid force and slow down force users. Spawn camping can be troublesome since there are 2 spawn points for each team and distances are short (villains seem to be at a more disadvantage).
Note: Depending on your view for pro/con, narrow passageways promote dash attacks and camping (both gunners and force users).
Mustafar: OK
Pros: Diverse areas (Narrow/wide areas, open/closed areas). Gunners can avoid force somewhat. Seems balanced all around.
Cons: Easily force teammates off the edges without receiving the TK announcement (can be abused and perpetrator won't be easily found).
Note: Still areas where Spawn camping can be a hassle (but not as bad as the other maps so did not put in pro/con).
Cheers
