more like we whine because there are no new maps and then whine again when they half *** it with remakes. especially when one of the better classic maps that everyone likes gets a redux taking the old experience off the table in the process.
No you whine because you're boomer brains cant handle anything that remotely resembles
change. A month ago you would not have had any problem admitting that HPG played out almost the same every match.
Nascar or
King of the hill. Everyone fights on top or under the middle. The team that wins is the team that death balls fastest and misses least. Have you ever had a fight on HPG that took place outside the walls? Maybe once or twice? I for one can't remember the last time it happened.
But now that it's
gone, suddenly the rose tinted glasses come out and you fossils start crying about
the good old days that never existed.

the kitbashed maps tend to be received better because they don't replace anything, and they bring a completely new design to the table. more kitbashes, less reduxes. i mean its good that they are doing something and the new designer is getting things done. its just the leadership needs to sign off on letting the new guy do something creative.
He's doing lots of creative stuff. You're crying about it.
A major reason we never got a good quantity of new maps was because PGI artists kept making entire new tilesets and new biomes.
I want you to sit for a moment and think about how much
time that takes. Sit for a moment and think about how
expensive that is. If you want new maps, this is how it's going to happen from now on. Existing assets, sometimes even existing height maps. That's the reality of a game that doesn't get a whole lot of funding and development time. Kinda doesn't matter if you don't like it.

As someone who does not regularly post here but does play I have to agree.
Old HPG was picked nearly 100% of the time no matter the map against it...new HPG sucks (my opinion) and from what I have seen (like viridian bog beating it 100% to 0%) I think a lot of people agree.
HPG was tolerable. Viridian Bog is a chore. If HPG was winning 100 to 0 to maps like viridian bog, its because people were voting to
avoid a map.
Why can't we have maps that I feel good voting
for?
