Both of you have valid points. My question is, did anyone really like angoville being in rotation even before the changes? It is just another grandfathered in vcoh map that doesn't translate well into coh 2.
At least someone tried to do it justice, and has been said, many like the new one more so than the old one, the problem is you can only polish a turd so much.
Also the "widely hated" comment is pretty funny. As maps that are "widely hated" on the forums here are typically enjoyed by the vast amount of casual coh 2 players, the player base is larger than these forums.
Case in point, if pripyat sector would've only been in custom games it would've been top 5 most played maps for it. In fact, before the 2v2 tournament you could still see it on the front page of custom games daily.
