This cant be a serious statment. This kind of comment is always used when mentioning a nerfed unit, except maps are completely aesthetic in terms of appearance, and should be balanced - which is more important. Lame blizzards can come much later - when/if ever relic bothers to optimize the game and such.
Here we have the classic forum snob- someone who thinks that his opinion and worldview are the only valid ones and anyone who expresses a radically different one is not serious, stupid, or a troll.
Maps are not completely aesthetic, as anyone who has played the game for more than five minutes can tell you. Which map you are playing on has a vast impact on your play style- I defy anyone to tell me Steppes or Vaux plays the same as Semosky or Sittard, for example.
Cold tech is an extension of that. It adds elements to the game that differentiate maps from each other and in particular makes playing on a winter map different in a practical sense from playing on the summer version of the same map. So yes, Relic might as well delete winter versions of maps because now there is nothing separating them from the summer ones except vehicle camo. Tell me, what difference is there?
Secondly, there is the immersion factor- some of us LIKE feeling that we're watching and directing an actual WW2 battle to some extent, and blizzards were a factor that had to be dealt with IRL in winter conditions. It was good that you had to do it here as well.
"Too silly of an outburst to take seriously" thanks for perfectly encapsulating your own post. Maps are maps... AND WHICH MAP YOU ARE PLAYING ON GENERALLY AFFECTS HOW YOU PLAY DOES IT NOT?
