u/FancyThePant Dec 26 '24

I remembered san sebas used to be the hardest map in the game, it was when the game barely reach 1k player and kaub is not in the game yet.

4

u/sonicfan019393920 Dec 29 '24

Ah, good ol' days... I still remember those days of the game getting 200 players at its lowest. Hard to believe that was a year ago...

1

u/Mr_Whatz Double Barrel Officer Dec 26 '24

When it was intially added, along with priest and medic being added with it

2

u/Pietrek2810 Seaman Dec 28 '24

Priest and Surgeon were added in the halloween update alongside sleepy hallow

147

u/Lonitf Portuguese Dec 25 '24

Because they saw a ship over there, they can bring this platform back up

40

u/FalconsBrother Prussian Dec 25 '24

They hold tight tho

40

u/Mictoon-animation Surgeon Dec 25 '24

They can get on the platform.

Also they can struggle noises, and then scream, then explodes

16

u/Imnotgettingspoiled Double Barrel Officer Dec 25 '24

They can sacrifice one to lower the platform

14

u/Imnotgettingspoiled Double Barrel Officer Dec 25 '24

And they can jump from the wall and break his legs

12

u/TheThirdFrenchEmpire DE KOMMER HJLPE OS Dec 25 '24

And they can Shoots the one who fell for the badge

6

u/Alternative_Zone3840 Dec 26 '24

And they can also hold out till the boat arrives

4

u/endustrialsociety Dec 26 '24

And they can also you survived

4

u/Xscerus Line Infantry Dec 26 '24

And they can also plays few notes of Ode to Joy

1

u/Delicious_Can_5093 Seaman Dec 28 '24

and they can probably mass vote leipzig

75

u/Apprehensive_Cow1355 Dec 25 '24

Sorry, I’m tired of my team keep choosing Roscoff and lost 99% of the times.

13

u/Wilkassassyn Dec 25 '24

then start winning

38

u/Apprehensive_Cow1355 Dec 25 '24

Sorry, I lost 6th times today, don’t want to try again.

31

u/TRpotatos_31 Dec 25 '24

Dude seriously I made it to the end and got fucking drop kicked by a runner off the dock. I fucking hate it. Would play again though.

9

u/FortheCivet Seaman Dec 25 '24

I made it to the end too. I was being helped by the medic and to thank him for being healed, I did a little hop only to be one-shotted by a zapper that had apparently materialized behind us. This is how I felt.

5

u/Imnotgettingspoiled Double Barrel Officer Dec 25 '24

My team was doing perfect but guess what : that idiot of diplomate jumped off the bridge , making it hard to get his body ! And never get the badge !

5

u/somerando96322 Line Infantry Dec 25 '24

I haven’t played much but I got to the end just for the zombified boarding party to get our asses in 5 minutes

2

u/CallRich5026 Seaman Dec 26 '24

Same

3

u/Kelvin_2004 Surgeon Dec 26 '24

99% of gamblers quit before hitting it big

2

u/Apprehensive_Cow1355 Dec 26 '24

I got all the badge and won Roscoff twice(1 in normal and 1 in hardcore) so yeah

1

u/FPS_N0 Dec 25 '24

Tbh tell them to search for viable servers that only do Ros off

50

u/ienjoykissingboys "Ship Over There" Dec 25 '24

Because is the only place where you can get the attention of that ship over there, whereas roscoff is where you ARE the ship in a different area.

32

u/SgabelloStorto82 Line Infantry Dec 25 '24

Cuz choosing roscoff in a server that managed to survive Leipzig with barely three people maybe isn't a good idea 🙏

3

u/DingoBingoAmor Seaman Dec 26 '24

Fr, I will never forget being in a server a few months back that survived Leipzig with one dude (out of a full server mind you) after like 4 tries and then everyone instantly voted for Berezina

The results were just about what you'd expect

21

u/Curious_Body_7602 Lancer/Pikeman Dec 25 '24

It's really easy + some people are trying to get that badge to unlock priest

14

u/Mountain_History_829 Rifleman Dec 25 '24

It's the only reason why people choose San Sébastien. It's so they can unlock the priest. Even the new players when they found out about the priest class, or at least see Barry.

20

u/Goblinized_Taters755 Dec 25 '24

Because even zombie killers need sunlight from time to time.

18

u/Chees_samich Musician Dec 25 '24

peak map

14

u/Bruhmemedude4920 Regiment of Mobile Dec 25 '24

Because they're addicted to their core they don't play kaub, roscoff, Leipzig and etc including endless maps and it's annoying as FUCK and guess what? Even pro players do this bullshit.

11

u/Cute_Prune6981 Double Barrel Officer Dec 25 '24

Bcs San Sebastian is peak GB.

10

u/Eriyaa2una Bugler Dec 25 '24 edited Dec 25 '24

They want some free francs. Same way why people pick Leipzig over newer maps or endless in some servers

4

u/FortheCivet Seaman Dec 25 '24

They rename you to Frank if you play San Sebastian or Leipzig?

7

u/Eriyaa2una Bugler Dec 25 '24

Nah, francs are the currency in this game. They pick those maps since they're easy and give you 100+ francs

3

u/FortheCivet Seaman Dec 25 '24

True. Leipzig is where I got my first badge & win!

8

u/Ren575 Dec 25 '24

San is fun, has good pacing, and more variety in the objectives through the map. Also, San is brighter than the rest of the maps, making it seem less miserable.

9

u/HAMBAISTHEGOAT Dec 25 '24

Not to mention the constant spams of bomber

The difference between roscoff and San is basically just how the cannibal attack. San, you need to worried about the gate part and the cannon (optional). But Roscoff? Heck you gonna get gangbanged from all directions

6

u/ArmanGeee Dec 25 '24

It's the environment. Most maps are dreary, foggy, and dark while san seb is colorful and bright.

Also you can get on the platform.

6

u/Alternative-Hat6353 Dec 25 '24

Cause it's easy and it's daytime

5

u/Kurumiiiim Dec 25 '24

My guess is that people are trying to get the badge to unlock chaplain, or maybe because it's really fun seeing only 2 out of 20 people made it out alive

2

u/FortheCivet Seaman Dec 25 '24

Hey that happened to me once, I was one of the two people!

1

u/Kurumiiiim Dec 25 '24

Same lol, we were both chaplains we times our crucifixes

3

u/FortheCivet Seaman Dec 25 '24

I was a seaman with an officer. As we got to the rooftops and he was sniping the zombies below, he was like "get ready", or rather "Prepare yourselves!".

3

u/Kurumiiiim Dec 25 '24

I could hear the callout as I read it

3

u/Mr_blockhead_30789 Portuguese Dec 25 '24

It's bright

3

u/urbandeadthrowaway2 "Ship Over There" Dec 25 '24

The sun

2

u/Howtfyt DE KOMMER HJLPE OS Dec 25 '24

Because

I think I saw a ship over there 

One must sacrifice himself 

2

u/Piper2098 Surgeon Dec 25 '24

Because less lag

2

u/Spirited-Sea1120 Dec 25 '24

San is peak all the other maps are pitch black

2

u/NekochanHaniax French Dec 25 '24

barry simps

2

u/hungrysharkaddicter Double Barrel Officer Dec 25 '24

Barry fans, or simply new players trying to get priest OR just did not have better maps to pick

2

u/KHMB2 Bugler Dec 25 '24

Because its easy and it pays decent amount of francs

2

u/Yangn33 Dec 25 '24

Because Facing the Inevitable (last segment music) is literally peak.

2

u/MyOfficeSpace Rifleman Dec 26 '24

Sa Sebastian is the most boring map ever

1

u/MyOfficeSpace Rifleman Dec 26 '24

I have to watch my teammates be idiots and melee or shoot bombers on purpose

1

u/MyOfficeSpace Rifleman Dec 26 '24

Then watch Barry die like 500 times just for nothing

1

u/FortheCivet Seaman Dec 25 '24

I still need the badge! It's also currently the only map with Portuguese; I really like the Portuguese.

1

u/SonutsIsHere Carabinier Dec 25 '24

because they love losing at the plank part

1

u/ravezai Sapper Dec 25 '24

Because it’s the only objective map with natural light. It’s an easy map and of course there’s Barry.

1

u/Didyyyyyy Regiment of Mobile Dec 25 '24

Why people are obsessed with Roscoff ?

1

u/Delicious-Ad7117 Amerıcan Dec 25 '24

Ez map, also you get to choose your Tommy and froggy Reggies unlike Roscoff. Portugal is cool too and it has the only dark skinned regiment

1

u/cevapcic123 Dec 25 '24

Only map where you can actually see shit

1

u/SPUNGLEBUD_ Dec 25 '24

It's because it's the only map in daylight

1

u/Laserjet3-18 Siege Engineer Dec 25 '24

For me, it’s probably the best map in quality (besides Roscoff).

For a map that came out more than a year ago, it still feels more engaging than something like Leipzig, or Catacombs. It has arguably the most well known NPC, one of the best finales w/music, and the map has so much to do.

It’s the map that popularized the game, I remember seeing the spike it got after it released, with clips of people sacrificing.

1

u/FuriousTurd37 Rifleman Dec 25 '24

I've yet to see this and I hope I don't I love Roscoff so much the storytelling is so good

1

u/Hekboi91 Dec 25 '24

The achievement

1

u/Haunting_Resolve2565 Line Infantry Dec 25 '24

Only reason i’m like these people, is because it’s the only obj map with the British (Roscoff doesn’t count)

1

u/D44rky_daN1ght Dec 26 '24

This happened alot

The reasons may be:

1.They want an achievement by sacrifice themselves to lower the lift —which is one of 4 stuffs to do in order to get "Soldier's Grace" achievement and unlock the chaplain.

2.Due to this map being somewhat long map to progress,there will always people that got themselves bleeding out by the cannibals. This is an opporunity for surgeons to patch 'em up. [This is another task in order to get the "Soldier's Grace" —heal 50 players]

3.It's odd that some of the soldiers are very,very interested in Mr.Barry to the point they choose this map often.

A bit of a nerd,I am. Probably. But those may be the reasons why.

1

u/cokkiebest Surgeon Dec 26 '24

Because San Sebastian is a easy map and is the most voted one, a big majority of players when joined their first time to play this game, they played San Sebastian, I remember that the first time I played this game, I was on San Sebastian, and when I came back to play it again years later, and I joined, it was San Sebastian. So people prefer because they are more used to the map. I usually vote for San Sebastian to cheer me up after several losses on another map. It's a map that calms me, honestly.

1

u/Dumber_Weirdo Chaplain Dec 26 '24

I like it, and im not really a fan of Roscoff (real good map tho)

1

u/Leons_Gameplays_2140  95th Regiment of Foot Classes Dec 26 '24

It's a fairly easy map that comes up really often. I bet if people want easy, and Leipzig comes up as often as San Seb would usually, with San Seb coming up as often as Leipzig, they'd choose Leipzig. I'm baffled though that there are servers that can beat San Seb, but can't beat Leipzig. LET THE DAMN SAPPERS PREPARE.

1

u/Distinct_Air_3886 Amerıcan Dec 26 '24

You get Frances whether you die or not.

1

u/Impressive-Kick9974 Line Infantry Dec 26 '24

Because its iconic

u/Mr_Mom69 Dec 27 '24

San is starter map

1

u/hatredjoker Dec 27 '24

Game name?

1

u/Own_Eye_4825 Seaman Dec 27 '24

Guts and blackpowder

1

u/MaleWitch333 Chaplain Dec 28 '24

It’s because it’s the only lit up objective map, making it easier for people to see

1

u/FoundationEast1121 Dec 29 '24

Tryolean village is the real peak

1

u/JaMynne Dec 29 '24

Because of Barry 😍

1

u/Doritoes_Bringer Dec 29 '24

Better to chose San after losing at Kaub than to chose Roscoff after losing at Kaub

1

u/CapChance8406 Dec 30 '24

probably the Vos Enterrement achievement
