 Giant. Easily the worst pug map and one I've basically resorted to instantly quitting Giant GIP matches & Giant lobby presets. Only time I might give it a chance is if I join a lobby and we randomly land on it. Why this map sucks? As if you had to ask. Most matches end up with pugs hanging around and abusing the easy LZ area. And if not, don't worry, give it a few waves and that's where the pugs will end up anyway. Why it's never worth hanging around for. |

I think it is funny when people try to hold the top corner on glacier thinking it is a strategic position.
As for my usual worst experience with pugs. That would be Condor.

Speak of the devil. I just landed in a UUP lobby, and guess where we ended up? Giant? Wrong. It was Giant Hazard. And where did the pugs hand out all of wave one? Control room? Wrong. It was Giant LZ area. What did I do? Tough it out ad stick around? Wrong. I bailed and came here to complain in BSN fashion. I thought it was one of the worst, if not the worst map, in the past. But these days it clearly isn't nearly as flawed, boring and predictable as Giant, because most pugs go all over Rio to check the sights instead setting up a picnic camping spot. Even BioWare admits to picnic baskets being a design flaw with the White map redesign. |

Condor, especially if you get Geth or Collectors on Platinum, most pugs don't live long if you get that combo.

Condor can't be the worst map pugging, because it's one of the most anti-camp maps out there. And more challenge isn't a flaw in my books, Bateman. Less challenge is.
Nor is Condor overplayed, because hardly anyone ever picks it. Meanwhile maps like Giant always come up. So most overplayed + most camp friendly map = the worst pugging map. That's what the criteria should be.

Here they tend to survive camping longer than on other maps at least. Or is this the problem? |

Unless you like the retirement home. |

Right there with you on that one. It is fucking enormous so there is no way of staying in sync with the PUGs. Btw: You don't Origin anymore?  |

Condor. It's just a hard map to clinch when everyone dies. Giant is probably the most common map that pugs choose but really their play andncamping doesn't effect my playstyle and I've soloed that map on platinum more than anything else.

Condor is a very rough map but also a well designed map if you ask me (The bugs are a problem). It naturally filters people away from each other. Goddess is also a well designed map that is just tough.
The question I guess for the op re pugs is do you prefer the pugs to actually be alive and do some killing? Or do you prefer they all die fast and you have to solo? (I do agree about giant at the higher levels it is campy mccamp ville.
The map I think I hate the most? Glacier, not for the pug problems but for the spawn destruction tactics of the good players.

Condor, especially if you get Geth or Collectors on Platinum, most pugs don't live long if you get that combo. I'd also throw London in there for when dipshits try to go Rambo when there's a hack or an escort. Pugs can't deal well with big, open maps because camping gets shut down quick! I love it. |

Condor
Haz Dagger
London
Hydra
Jade
These are the most likely maps you will have to clutch waves on due to pugs not knowing how to play them
As for Giant and some of the other maps where pugs may camp, those maps are easier for you to gun down the wave budget of camping mooks in cover and allow you to do an easy assisted gold/plat solo, since the camping pugs will draw all the boss attention that either results in revive loops or in some cases rage rocket nonsense. You then come swooping in to save the day
