These are the maps, which I consider the best custom gg2 maps.

GREAT MAPS
Those are really fun maps with few flaws and every server should host them!

(click to show/hide)

arena_harvest :

A remake of the tf2 map.

ctf_dirtbowl_v2 :
 
Don't be appalled by the name. The name and art are the only things, which this map has in common with cp_dirtbowl. It's actually pretty enjoyable and rocketspam is not really effective here.
(Second place in the "Favorite custom map voting")

ctf_noir :
 
small and fast map

ctf_zvector_v2 :

a map with 2.5D art
(Winner of the "Favorite custom map voting")

cp_goodwater4 :

A fun 2-stage A/D map. (First stage stand-alone: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/660649/1027B/gg/cp_goodwater5.png )

cp_jeff:

A decent A/D map, where you fight for control in a city.

cp_eureka:

A fun 3cp map inspired by yukon and granary.

gg_thumbs :
 
Ugly but balanced

DECENT MAPS
Those are some good maps, but they have some flaws.

(click to show/hide)

cp_montane : http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7955/cpmontanea1bg.png
A beautiful 3cp map, suited for larger servers
cp_badlands2 : http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/3840/cpbadlands.png
A very nice 5cp map, though the last point is very hard to capture.
ctf_breakfast_skirmish : http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/9103/ctfbreakfastskirmish.png
Description goes here
ctf_generators : http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/7148/ctfgenerators.png
Pretty generic map. It reminds me of orange with it's middle tower.
ctf_deco : http://j.imagehost.org/0808/ctf_deco.png
Another great map by sniper NO SNIPING
ctf_hairpin_v3 : http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/5078/ctfhairpinv3.png
small and fast map
Ctf_Hoth : http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1372/ctfhoth.png
A winter themed map.
ctf_launch_v3 : http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1642/ctflaunchv3.png
Very fast map, very hard to defend the intel here.
ctf_midnight :http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/425/ctfmidnight.png
Very small map.
ctf_newcastle_v2 : http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8316/ctfnewcastlev2.png
Description goes here
ctf_silo_v2 : http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5034/ctfsilov2.png
This map has many paths to get to and flee with the intel. The passages are a little tight.
ctf_waterfront_v2 :
 http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/5637/ctfwaterfrontv2.png
Ugly but balanced
gen_vista : http://i.imagehost.org/0215/gen_vista.png
The only generator map which is remotely fun.

NOVELTY MAPS
These are maps with unique features. They are fun to play once in a while but don't expect perfectly balanced gameplay.

ctf_fourway_v2 : http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/8712/ctffourwayv2.png
Very small and tight map
ctf_glasshouse : http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/4729/ctfglasshouse.png
You can shoot through all walls in this map.
ctf_Reversed_v2 : http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/7093/ctfreversedv3.png
Unusual map, where the intels are swapped.
ctf_toxic_v21 : http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/5328/ctftoxicv21.png
This map has a novel layout. Matches end pretty fast, because it's hard to defend the intel.
seriousmap_v2 : http://www.majhost.com/gallery/lluvioso/GG2Maps/seriousmap_v2.png
I like it because it's silly.

ROCKET JUMP AND RACE MAPS
The point of these maps is to get to the end of the map with either runner, rocketman or detonator (as fast as possible). They are best played alone.

rockettv3 : http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt2/BIGspaceBURRITO/rockettv3.png
GG2's very first rocketjump map.
Let's all thank elkondo for giving this classic a graphical overhaul.
Rick Roll Rocket: http://lo13.univ.szczecin.pl/~astronomia/elkondo/GG2maps/RRR.PNG
You can beat this map with the detonator but not with the rocketman.
Bonus challenge: Try to escort a medic with you.
rj_classicwell :http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/8515/rjclassicwell.png
ctf_classicwell upside-down. The lights give you heath.
rj_extreme_v11 : http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9827/rjextremev11.png
A deto jump map.
Rocketjump_IceClimbers :http://i50.tinypic.com/35knxas.png
A simple and easy rocketjump map.
ctf_rocketmang : http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/207/ctfrocketmang.png

ctf_rapture_v2 : http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/8135/ctfrapturev2.png
This is a jump map. Try to get to the top.
rr_sandzone : http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3210/rrsandzone.png
It's a runner race map.
rr_happyvikingv2 :http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa120/Doukutsurun/rr_happyvikingv2.png
Ultra hard runner jump map.

OTHER NOTEWORTHY MAPS
These maps aren't fun to play but they still deserve a mention for various reasons (e.g. oldfort is there for nostalgia)

(click to show/hide)

achievement_idle001 : http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/1124/achievementidle001.png
Now you can idle in gg2 too.
ctf_oldfort : http://s272277939.onlinehome.us/maps/ctf_oldfort.png
The very first map of gg2. It's really terrible.
Snipers and rocketmen can easily dominate and it's hard as hell to cap the intel.
ctf_castle_v2 : http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/5646/ctfcastlev2.png
This was once an official map, but then they took it out because the intel is really easy to camp.
ctf_containment_v2 : http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1917/ctfcontainmentv2.png
One of the first decent ctf maps, but terrible by today's standards. I still like it.
gg_mapscollide_v2 : http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/4306/ggmapscollidev2.png
A lot of maps fused into one.
FINAL_DESTINATION : http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/3157/finaldestinationwx0.png
It's FINAL DESTINATION!

[UR MOM]

Wow, I could really use this,


Thanks

[Snare]

More people should host custom maps, most of these maps I've never played on yet.

[Corky]

What about CP_Launch?

That was a good map.

[Muddywater]

What do maps like duck hunt, the spy crab maps, and runner race maps go under?

[Pancreas]

Gimmick/other maps I would say.

[Wherewolf]

I'm not a fan of Midnight. It's very rocketspammy. Reversed also always seemed to be spammy.

[BassieEnAdriaan]

I'm not a fan of Midnight. It's very rocketspammy. Reversed also always seemed to be spammy.

You can walk on the roof and on the lights in other words scout can make this map end in a couple of minutes

Yes, I made the map.

Also I didn't notice it was on this list :p

[Agh]

What about CP_Launch?

That was a good map.

Do you mean ctf_launch, because I never played cp_launch. And I didn't include ctf_launch because it's too hard to defend and the matches end too fast.

What do maps like duck hunt, the spy crab maps, and runner race maps go under?

I'm not going to include maps, which require mods here. If you link me to ADM1's map, I will include it in the non-serious section.

I'm not a fan of Midnight. It's very rocketspammy. Reversed also always seemed to be spammy.

About ctf_midnight, I can't believe I didn't notice that. I will remove it, sorry bassie. Add a box in the middle or change something else to prevent rocket/sniper spam and I will add it again.
About ctf_reversed, It's my map, so I'm biased. I think it's a great map. If more people think it's not good enough, then I'll remove it.

I think it's more the players' faults for not playing offense.

[KillPanzer]

cp_well? 

[Agh]

I think it's more the players' faults for not playing offense.

A turtling team can be a problem on every map.

cp_well? 

Why should I add it? It's not even finished.

[KillPanzer]

o right.

[McGenio]

Ctf_hoth as Promising and ctf_midgetconfrontation mentioned. I feel special 

By the way, I'll take this chance to once again mention my likeness of seriousmap

[Corky]
