At least we got new veto with Halbe so I can always veto that map. Come on guys, coh isnt about clusterf*ck maps or open maps. It about mixure of that combined with good tactical houses, yes there are cut offs but without interesting houses, map divided into nice sections that can cooperate and some magic(e.g. don´t make half of map and then copy it) it cannot work. Thats why Kholodny is such an awesome map
So you don't like the new map? Well Halbe was the overall BEST map that the players for the 1v1 tourney played, that comes from Barton, Hans, and Noggano, along with being fairly rated overall by the judges of the tourney.
Perhaps those same people don't like Kholodny.
Perhaps people don't like fighting from house to house (Arnhem Checkpoint).
Perhaps people don't want the same maps made over and over again.
I fail to see how you're tone is welcoming at all. Why do all maps have to be what you want? When the people that originally participated in the tourney this was voted the best overall? Perhaps that was the time to make your opinion heard, during the 8 month feedback period, and then again during the 2/3 months we were able to update maps.
I don't see how anyone, mappers or otherwise, learned anything from your post.
