Sorry for the questions, bored at work, but if you have a minute bear with me here....

Are there any good like team vs team maps? 2v2 or 3v3 or otherwise? In the few games I've played with friends, we always seem to get put into these "suicide" spots that I've seen referenced around the forums.

Are big 3v3, 4v4, 5v5 team oriented maps frowned upon due to the late-game lag issues? It seems to me that this would be the case on large choke-pointy maps with only 3 or 4 points/lanes to attack. 

I've done that quite a few times in Rebellion, but that relies on your team winning elsewhere while you set yourself back up. That tends not to happen somewhat more often that it does.

Or you can let go of the vine and jump into the cesspool of gaming known as "Steam." Steam is a horrible place, that allows you to socialize and coordinate in games with your friends, as well as "gift" games to them. Steam allows indie developers to submit games for voting in "Greenlight." This sort of interaction and community integration is a parasitic division of the gaming community, and must be annihilated at once. I'm gonna stray off topic a bit, but once you have around 100-150 games under your belt, most people will allow you into their games without questioning.
