Classics
- Garden of War – A classic map that is the single most-played WC2 map ever. Old timers have played this map literally hundreds (and often thousands) of times, and are exhaustively familiar with every inch of it. If you’re new you probably want to avoid joining gow games unless they’re specifically intended for new players (you’ll likely get booted or banned from them).
