Best: Outpost.
It's open, it's got plenty of choke points and escape routes.

Worst: Descent.
Fleshpounds from one side, Husks from the other, 5 feet wide room. Enough said.

For best, i've always considered Burning Paris and Evacuation Point stellar maps. They not only look good visually, but also work well gameplay wise. There's plenty of chokepoints where Firebug, Zerker and Support can shine, and they have a couple of sightlines where perks like Commando, Demo and SWAT do well in. Plus Evacuation Point being set in Denmark is a plus for me, since i'm from Sweden.

For worst, it's a tough choice between Catacombs and Containment Station. The former suffers from an extremely cramped design that ♥♥♥♥♥ over perks like Sharpshooter and Demo, and the latter has too many tight corridors that makes kiting difficult.

It's true that I can't Imagine playing Descent on HoE difficulty xD

Evacuation Point is best.

Nightmare is "eh".

Nightmare's theming is great (Spider Cave and the WW3 trench as examples), but gameplay wise it suffers because all the areas (except the one before the boss) are so darn cramped.

The size of the maps is really the only thing that makes them either good or bad, what with how much the game throws at the player at once.

Containment station favors sharpshooters actually, the main spot where teams camp has 2 chokepoints and both are good for longrange.

I was referring to Catacombs exclusively when i talked about Sharpie being ♥♥♥♥♥♥, but what you're saying is correct. The generator room for instance is a good spot for Sharpshooters to pick off priority targets.

I love Hostile Grounds and Nightmare, not a fan of Krampus Lair (especially when you get to the underground tunnel bit), and Catacombs as I find it too dark a map and usually get lost at least once xD

my least favorite maps are fblack forest its ugly map and camping on plank is even more boring...and catacombs

Best: Outpost, Burning Paris, Infernal Realm, Nuked
Worst: Lockdown, Descent, DieSector

Best: KF_Deadline, KF1 remakes, Outpost, Containment Station, Power Core, Paris & Evac Point
Worst: easily Catacombs, Farmhouse (I like it, but it's a weak-ass map), Kra(m)pus Lair

I like and think that most maps are good, but Catacombs, Krampus Lair and Nightmare are all boring, "meh" or just plain annoying to play. Too dark, too narrow, too boring scenery.

Unlike Descent or PC, Nightmare doesn't have enough arenas and doesn't play well IMO.

Best: Either Evacuation Point or Burning Paris

Worst: Containment Station or Lockdown

Reasoning:

Both Evac Point and Burning Paris are well designed maps with good size and multiple branching pathways to go through, plus they offer multiple areas that are good for holding.

Containment Station can be summed up as the Generator Room. Every other place on the map is entirely pointless, and if you go anywhere else, you will most likely lose as kiting is a fat no on this map. Same with Lockdown, except Lockdown might be even worse b/c the spawns are atrocious and extremely limits both fun and variety of playstyles.

Black Forest is pretty boring imho. I only know two spots where people hang out.

I quite enjoy lockdown, it's a cramped map like biotics but the aesthetic is more appealing. Cramped maps are good for zerks and fast moving perks, I like to run between rooms and kill zeds that pop up here and there and lockdown is the best map for exactly that.
