I am not really sure, but wasnt there a while back a map contest by relic? with a map implemented in the game?

My question is why are they not doing this more often?
That way there could be a new automatch map every month or so?

Would there be flauws by doing so?
Just a thought i had

I don't think the supply of maps is steady enough for one to be done every month. Quality and filesize could be concerns as well, since adding a lot of maps in quick succession would likely lead to lower quality maps, and more disk space taken.

There were some really good maps in the map contest. its a shame relic didnt get them into the map pool...

Exactly, so why arent they doing it anymore?
Maybe they should bring it back with a new competition

COH2.ORG hosted that map making contest (I created it

)and it takes a huge amount of time to get those maps in the game because Relic's focus is still on balance. I asked their map dev quite a couple of times when they are going to implement it but he says he didn't forget me. So all we can do is wait

Well, at least they are working on it, and afterwards you should do some more

But yeah, i can imagine it takes a lot of testing before you know the balance

depending on the feedback I get I will consider it, had a blast making it and since I have a proper format now, it's not a major undertaking anymore ^^
