Does anyone know/remember any maps of importance per year

[Tal'Rarity]

I'm wondering if anyone can remember or has played a known map that was famous/really good as in one of the best of its year? Anytime from 2007 to now would be appreciated, if I remember right then the quality of 2006 and below was rather lacking and quite blindly at that. Surprises are always possible and fun to look forward too so I hope there'll be some comments/information. =)

For me personally, I have not seen anything mind blowing since Iceborn.
There is some nice stuff brewing functionality wise with the MMO project, but that is not completed yet.

Technically dota counts too however yeah there has been some awesome idea's though they didn't get past much of the idea stage. Iceborn does look good though too bad its single player... =(

Some of my favorites over the last years:

Legion TD
Enfo's FFB Edition
Enfo's TS:MT Edition
Pyramid Escape
Gaias Retaliation
The New World
Tomb of Jarahcon
Undead Assault
Castle Fight

Actually, most were released either pre 2010, or around then.
Some campaigns seem very polished recently, like Rise of the Bloodelves/Curse of the Forsaken/Warden and so on.

Also Medieval Zombie Invasion (MZI) has many maps/scenarios, which seem to attract quite the attention, thus enjoying a solid playerbase.

I've played Island Defense since 2008,don't know if it was ever game of the year though.Also it still being played.

I can put three crosses on island defense. There is also NOTD Aftermath, which was highly polished. HOSK is there also, which, in my eyes, had the potential to outpace dota, but it hadnt a big enough playerbase and had balancimg issues.
I found that many popular maps had, althought not completely polished, some quit entertaining gameplay and, on the other hand, were highly promoted. Above this, many were balanced, for the later reason.

Three crosses as a no-no ?

 

[Lord_Earthfire]

More like the opposite of no ^^. Island defense is like a balanced (Well, it has some issues) and less linear variation of the vampirism-like (aka the Tag-Genre).

Would be interesting to sort the most played (new) maps for each year since the release of TFT.

Will anyone do the research and data crunching?

I think only Blizzard has that data.
