Mappatch 2020 - Info

• I have not the time anymore
  
• I have not the desire anymore
  
• I don't want and will not risk to get more UI - Bugs on maps. It is spreading out atm and more and more maps get this issue. So I am avoiding atm to rework maps.
  
  

• Removing some 1vs1 maps from automatch
  
• Adding some new 1vs1 maps into automatch
  
• Removing 1 / some 2vs2 maps from automatch
  
• Adding 1 / some new 2vs2 maps into automatch
  
• Adding double reworked version of AoD into automatch
  
  No plans for 3vs3 and 4vs4. They had a lot stuff in the last big mappatch.
  No rework from me of maps, which are already in the automatch (check out Reasons)
  
  
  
  See you on the battlefield.

If you don't have the time or desire, why are you still involved at all. Why not pass the proverbial torch to someone willing to take a more active part in developing and refining our gameplay experience?

This is a great question. Sturmpanther(SP) has very successfully driven the map changes for years. And is a hero of the community.

Since I have worked with him a lot I can comment on this. The person best suited for this job needs to have intimate knowledge of ALL game modes. If you look at SPs player card you can see he has games in every mode at high levels. He also has a ton of information about each map locked away in his brain.

Every successful map change/update has been driven by SP's inside knowledge of the maps, players, and game. We would probably need 2 or 3 people just to get close to the job he has done so far.

The hope is COH3 is not far away, so we wouldnt need many more map updates...

Also, to Rosbone's point, very few people play all game modes. Most of the people I play with either play 2's or 4's.

At a minimum I would suggest a leader for each game mode. That person would be able to over rule any changes brought up for their mode.

Maybe this is the patch that finally removes Lierneux.

What about bringing back an old map? I am mostly referring to rhzev winter in 2v2

I know it's still in 3v3 but it was removed from 2v2 in the same patch that reworked the map. So the new version was never experienced in 2v2

Map was very unique for 2v2, I assume many people vetoed it but I was always fan. Would like to see the new version at least get a chance

The map updates should be regular. CoH3 hasn't even been announced so it will be best case scenario 3 or so years away, thusly there will likely be numerous more map changes in this cycle. Everyone appreciates SP and the work he does but if his heart isn't in it then surely there is someone else willing to at least assist in improving the regularity of updates to the map pool.

Can't we rework Vaux Farmlands? It would take literally 5 minutes to remove/edit some of the fences that make this map such a pain in the ass. Then another 30minutes to clean up some shotblockers and make the middle less of a cluster fuck and voila we have a decent 2v2 map. BTW: I read the stuff about the UI bug BUT having a UI bug every now and then is way better than dealing with Vaux in it's current state.

Dont forget to remove Novgorod Outskirts from automatch.

The reworked version is much better. Could be added custom game list.

Would it be ok with U not to remove maps?
