That's definitely true, but the play count is taken into consideration as well.  Almost all of the ONR maps are good, I've played with the maker on a couple of his maps.  As well as many of yours.  We just need to get the word out for these maps so they too have a chance to become ranked.  Unless they are just teasing us by making a few maps ranked..

Cirque du Slaughter is an excellent looking map, its construction is really cool and the sense of height and overall feel of the map pulls off the whole Theme Park setting.

But for me it is a very hard map to get into, My play style is not suited to this map and it is not one I would ever have in a rotation if I were to host.

I could get away with Vatican Square and feel that VC would have been a better choice as CdS is more long ranged and snipe orientated.

Kudos for the map getting on the list, it has a good play and download count and is obviously popular with a huge ammount of people.

Going back to Cirque du Slaughter - It is still better then most maps around on PS3, even though it wouldn't be my choice this is only because I cry like a baby when getting sniped. But anyone can see the level of detail and the originality of the map. No one should complain, I just prefer playing some of your other maps over this one, but it is an excellent map to show what can be done in the editor.

Thats one of my choices for a job when i grow up, inventor, chef or Video Games Designer for my favourite company, insomniac. corse that mean a move to america.
