Or fix the larger issue and not sticking 8 players on a 2v2 sized map cough* red ball cough*.
If the map feels too small then play 3v3. Same maps, less people
I personally do not want to play on giant maps like General Mud. The point of 4v4 is to play WITH your team. If the map is too big, you end up playing a 1v1. That is why NO ONE and I mean NO ONE likes Lorch Assault. Who wants to get stuck at the bottom in a 1v1. Or Lienne Forrest getting stuck in a crappy 1v1 on the right side.
But I fully agree the map pool needs updated.
ISSUES (COMMUNITY MOOD SCORE):
LORCH ASSAULT (6) - 1v1 bottom, City mortar fights mid + top.
LIENNE FORREST(7) - Forrest is meh. Units are clumped too much end game making arty too effective.
PORT OF HAMBURG(7) - Better with patch. Most people hate how it turns to mortar fight.
GENERAL MUD(8) - OK map. A little too large. Its 40 kM to your base.
La GLEIZE(8) - OK map. A little large but the size helps clumping issues. Cutoffs are cancer. Right side needs some work to open it up between mid and right.
VIELSALM(6) - Map is very polarizing left/right. Mid has mines. Engagement areas at VPs need to be improved. Movement/flanking is difficult around VPs.
REDBALL EXPRESS(8) - I love this map. Some hate the lane fights when MGs and mortars become the norm. Should open more paths left to right.
STEPPES(8) - Good map. Some say long range favours axis, but I see allied blobs ruling this map most games.
LANZERATH AMBUSH(7) - This was the worst balanced map ever until the DBP. Now it is better but still favors the North spawn. Needs more openings in mid. Needs South fuel to be more accessible(move to mid).
ESSEN STEELWORKS(8) - Engagement areas around fuels are meh. Its always a cluster **** and somewhat random as to who gets the fuel. Stupid gravel/grain train thing on right VP needs to go. The akward angles around the fuels/VPs force full dives as opposed to pushes. WAY TOO MANY BUILDINGS!
MY PERSONAL SCORES:
LORCH ASSAULT (4)
LIENNE FORREST(6)
PORT OF HAMBURG(8)
GENERAL MUD(8)
La GLEIZE(8)
VIELSALM(6)
REDBALL EXPRESS(9)
STEPPES(8)
LANZERATH AMBUSH(5)
ESSEN STEELWORKS(7)
I VETO Lorch, Vielsalm, Essen. I just do not have fun on Essen, especially north spawn. Lienne I fight dropping when I get the forrest, but you can always push the mid when the forrest starts to suck. Lanzerath South East spawn = smashing your head against a wall and probably losing.
As you can see, I do not think any of the maps are 10s in anyones eyes. You cant please everyone. I guess we could look at the community voting from the last patch where maps were removed as well, even though they have gone through some changes.
