Any map that feels refreshing in terms of style, quality and/or ideas compared to the average map. A pretty broad and subjective definition though.

A feature showcases the reviewer's style and taste just as much as the mapmaker's - I like any honest review because of that insight. I regret not being more gung-ho about reviewing because, like other media, it's fun to display and boast your own taste.

a map that i enjoy more than other maps

frets I love your signature

If it's fun. Everything else is secondary, but most of the times maps that play well look great as well. I think fun comes from new playing experiences, so original design is always appreciated - I won't feature maps of which there are thousand copies on nmaps and which everyone has played a thousand times. My intention is to offer the reader new experiences.

I love concept maps, as long as the concept isn't annoying or pointless.

I like art.

I favor fun and open action levels though, I like seeing contests with speedruns and AGDs in the comments. Those kind of features are the best.

Hey guys, let me make a quick reminder, the question and the topic is What's exactly for you a Featured Map? not What kind of Featured Map you like most. Some of you answered and opined pretty well, though.

A featured map for me is a map that is of enough quality, uniqueness, or just plain special enough to rest on the front page of NUMA and serve as an example of our community and/or a map that we have to brag about or point out.
