Are you kidding me?
The most popular maps are the ones where people agree that the battlefield offers balanced fights.
The old HPG's crime afaik was being symmetrical. It was 'fixed' by being made asymmetrical and making massive shelf so that more people can stand around the edge shooting people without getting shot.
Put the old HPG in the rotation and see which one is more popular: the old one or the 'fixed' one.
Moreover, the reason that Alpine doesn't get votes is because it's crap. The fights are crap. People just stand up high and plunk opponents down below. The high places are not equally accessible. One team has a massive advantage.
But oh no, gotta fix the most popular map in the game by making it worse.
Alpine's problem is that there is only one domination circle on it. if they made 3, with corresponding drop points, and you got a random one each time you dropped, people would fight in different areas of that map and you would see its actually a decent map. Its fighting in the same place every time that sucks the life out of it.
And I submit they FIXED HPG. No more nascar. And oh my GOD the free food for fast moving mechs! You complain about snipers, I LOVE them. Up there with little cover, separated from their team... along I come in a fast medium mech... yum yum! all it takes is one team mate doing that to neutralize the enemy snipers and let everyone in the middle get on with their brawl.
