Well, all the tools were there before, it was just difficult. I don't think anyone's expecting them to release a 'noob friendly' edition.
By "better mapmaking support" I don't mean a nice little noob friendly editor or anything, I mean a better way for people to find and play custom maps. RTS games seem to have gone backwards since Starcraft/Warcraft III when it comes to making custom maps easy for players to share and play. And in my wildest dreams Relic would add the best CoH 2 fan maps to automatch more often than they did in CoH.

The World Builder is essentially the same as it exists today for vCoH. We've optimized it, so it runs a little more smoothly and we've removed some old, unused functionality (No more decals, only splats). In addition, we have some new features (Snow Painting, a really sleek LOS debug tool.
I'm going to try to do some video tutorials if I have the time... otherwise I'll write-up some up in text form. Hopefully it will help more players build their own maps.
As for support for custom maps; I agree, the Warcraft III download in client feature was pretty slick. I wish I could say we'll have that right off the bat, but I can't. In the future? Possibly - I can't say, unfortunately.

We will be releasing the World Builder. It likely won't be at launch, sometime post-release; but we are doing it.
Well color me excited.
Then yeah, count me in. Too bad Crysis' sandbox has spoiled me a bit; going back to Worldbuilder a while back left me in want of FPS-style camera controls, but it really wasn't too bad. Would just need a bit to re familiarize myself then.
I also agree with Tycho - it'd be fucking slick if CoH2 could have integrated user map download abilities, and even something to just auto-download a custom map that's added to automatch, so maps like Argentan Crossroads and Bois could be added to AT and acquisition made a simple download at game loading or something like that.

auto download for automatch maps is highly unlikely, since it would have to be server side. i don't see any reason why it shouldn't work for custom games though, since it's peer to peer.

All mappers could upload their creations there , some level headed members could check on the map for - Design , Artwork and balance and send notifications to the mappers - Accepted , Rejected ( with reason ) & Seek revision (Balance / Design / Art work) .
And all accepted maps could be put for downloads .This way at-least the mappers work would be understood and sometimes recognized .
P.S. I know it would require a lot of work and there would be little takers for the idea . Its worth a try though
