I wanted to get a feel for what the community looks for in a TTT map to aid those designing levels or hunting for suggestions on the workshop. Mods, feel free to move this to "TTT Suggestions & Help" if you think it's better there.

Why do you vote for certain maps? What makes them replayable and enjoyable for TTT? 

Here are some factors I can think of at the top of my head. Depending on your playstyle, you may have others, but feel free to use anything below with your thoughts. 

• Deathmatching - maps that are just simply fun to fight on with any weapon. Good DM maps usually have some combination of close quarters and doors that allow traitors to engage in a fight and then flee without being caught out in the open (for example, innomotel vs crummy). 
  
• Interaction/props - since TTT is an objectiveless roaming game for innocents until something happens, the map has to be interesting to some extent to keep players engaged. Good examples of this are: bread room on crummy cradle, tasks on amongus, knife game on orange_v7, party boat on roy, etc.
  
• Traps, role-specific rooms - an extension of the interaction factor. Features like detective rooms with the ability to let innocents in and DR-style traitor traps seem to be widely loved.
  
• Replayability - Good maps allow traitors to carry out a variety of strategies each round.
  
• Theme or community culture - of low importance to me personally, but players do love the dink/minecraft/spongebob themed maps. 
  
• Visual quality - I wasn't going to include this as most players don't seem to mind the very basic/LQ maps, but worth mentioning
  

I am writing this super late so I apologize if this seems messy. Let me know your thoughts!

i like maps with no roof. the jetpack spam shitters are garbage when they can't push their head into the roof.

exploitable (not head sealing thingsy)

[Mana]

I'm into traps
Also chokepoint rooms/areas are fun to camp and funnel people into until one side is completely dead.

barrels
space to bhop/pulse cannon, not cluttered to the point where you're running into people every 5 seconds
half life aesthetic
RP capability (e.g. cruise stage, amsterville shops)

i like maps with easter eggs, rooftops is a perfect example

also more maps where you can't bhop as much would be cool

i too love traps and dead ends so long as they are useable not pretty much luck based

a main room for innocents to stick around in thats not open enough to be dangerous/unfun but accessible enough to not lead to a 10 minute camping round, i think offices garage is a good example of that
