Overall i agree with your post, only would add the following to it: Moscow north is a death sentence, regardless of faction.
Tho i disagree with this:
What I'd like to see back : - Ecliptic Fields remake (was well done and suited the game)
- Eindhoven (minor issues but overall a great map)
- Prypjat (just fun)
Fields was 2 1vs1's, helping your mate out was generally suicide, as such not what i call a good 2v2 map.
I never liked eindhoven, but perhaps future adjustments can remedy that.
And pripyat.... if you think ettelbruck and dusseldurf should be removed, how on earth can you turn around and ask for pripyat back? I am geniunely curious about this, because pripyat is the worst of the three (all three being bad), being nothing but a chokepoint map with all the action centred around the middle VP.
The day relic removed it from automatch was a good day.
Other then that, trois pont and gelschenkirchen should be removed aswell (bridge and chokepoints, utterly horrrible for automatch), rzech winter should be 3vs3 only and they should remove the freaking fences on vaux farmlands (whoever thought it a grand idea to wire of the base sectors like that, please reconsider).
1vs1 map pool is okish (tho i would remove la Glezie and make Longreskaya into Langreskaya somehow by VP placements) but the 3vs3 and 4vs4 map pool.... it's just utter pudding to me.
Well, seeing as this post is rather salty so far, í"dd like to say that angoville, arnhem and to an extent, kholodney are maps that appear to be balanced so far. More maps like that should be a good thing.
(the new 1vs1 spotlight maps are kinda like this, but they either have 2 too many or 2 too few strat points making the tech pacing weird).
But this is all just my opinion, feel free to disagree.
