More featured maps seem to be circulating and there are 18+ maps to choose from, some are player created, and some are Ubisoft created. It seems that featured maps are based purely off rating... So if a map has 3+ stars to its reputation, then it rotates into the Featured Map playlist. The 'Search' function has also been changed, as in, if you have the category set to "Featured" it will remain that way until you physically change it.
Playing it legit method...It seems to me that a lot of people do not realize that when you are chosen to pick a map you must physically search for the featured maps. The initial maps that come up are ONLY player made maps. You'll never see a featured map in that list!
At the beginning of a match, 4 people are chosen to be "Map Pickers". You have roughly 30 seconds (if not less), to choose. The countdown timer progresses even as the screen loads. So when it's your turn to choose a map, quickly hit
to filter, this will open the "Filter" menu. Go down one slot to "Category" and instead of "ALL", selected "FEATURED"; then hit
to filter.
You should now have two pages of maps totaling 18+; they are in order according to current rating:
Shovel Dodgers (TDM) 4+ Stars
The rest of the maps rotate in and out of the Featured list based on their current rating. They are always changing as people vote for new and old maps. So please keep this in mind when searching. As long as the category you select is "Featured" it will show the right ones.Now just choose a TDM map by pressing
, then press
again to finalize your choice; (or if you're a beast go with a Deathmatch map)! Then hopefully people vote for it. You can continually vote for the same map once the match is complete in the replay square farthest to the right. It's a very arduous process to say the least.
Boosting method...You can easily boost this achievement with 6 players in a private match with a lot less stress.
Have 2 people host and invite the remaining players so you have two teams of three. Then have one host create a private lobby and have the other host search for it, and join the private lobby. Doing this allows you to keep the same teams, instead of them changing after each match.
You should now be able to pick maps. At the beginning of a match, 4 people are chosen to be "Map Pickers". You have roughly 30 seconds (if not less), to choose. The countdown timer progresses even as the screen loads. So when it's your turn to choose a map, quickly hit
to filter, this will open the "Filter" menu. Go down one slot to "Category" and instead of "ALL", selected "FEATURED"; then hit
to filter. You should now have a list of featured maps.
Now just choose a TDM map by pressing
, then press
again to finalize your choice. It is recommended by me (and others) to use the Farm Cry (Ubisoft made) map. It is a small map with attack helicopters and you can easily spawn camp; plus the kill amount is only 30. Then just replay the map 20 times; 10 for each team.
