Bring back the old maps and add them into the cue. Do not remove the new version and change the names slightly. So you could get something like river city new or old. and such. Effectively increasing the maps in rotation without actually needing to create new maps.

The old maps are probably erased and not coming back. And, for better or worse, there are maps that are in game that rarely get seen, so adding in the old maps doesn't mean that we will have more map variety.

In public matches ? I respectfully disagree but I definitely would want them available in custom games and testing grounds. Feel like going for a nostalgia trip aaaaaaaaaaa

For better or worse, I hope they're not erased. Keeping game assets, even if unused, is just good business practice. It's payed for product, and you never know when you might be able to use some or all of it.

If they were still around PGI could have put them in the private que, but I don't think they will ever come back to the public que.

This would be sad, and also silly from PGI. Then again, its PGI

I also want all the old maps back in rotation. just add them to the voting options on low rotation. Variety is the spice of life.

Even if they never come back into public que, it would still be in PGIs best interest to keep the maps around, along with all the individual assets that make it up. You don't throw stuff like that away, is what I'm saying.

If PGI has completely erased the map, from the game and from storage... wow.

Not the first time this has been suggested, but sure.

The "old" maps were replaced by "new" maps for a reason.. mostly cose' they were too small for 12vs12 or cose the gameplay was too monotonous.

I know a small amount of players liked the old maps cose' they were good on this map or that map, but for the majority of the players, it seems to me the new maps are better than the old ones overall.

And again, the old versions were removed for a reason.

PGI needs to make NEW maps, and if you wanna make more maps in a fast and cheap way, take some of the compatible "old maps" and stitch them to some other old maps, or some of the new ones..

By "compatible" I mean those who's overall terrains match.. like Alpine and Polar, Canyon and River city, or Alpine and Frozen, River and Crimson and such..

Well except 90% of games or more happen on HPG and mining, sometimes crimson sweeps through
I'm not even sure some other maps are still in rotation

usually the other maps seem to drop only because someone wanted to punk the others with a really high multiplier, or too many people tried to farm a multiplier on an unpopular map
