    As you most likely are aware, there has recently been a new update for McWar. Some of it is quite awesome, and I highly recommend you check it out here if you haven't already. Unfortunately, with the implementation of this update, many maps are no longer playable. This seems to be a reoccurring trend with War updates. Time after time, classic maps are lost. This time, there are a bunch of them. If we don't do something, we'll lose them. A lot of these maps are near and dear to the hearts of players, especially those who have been around for a while. Due to the already apparent disappointment the removal of these maps has caused, I propose that the majority of them be added back. The maps I would like to see return appear in the poll above, but I will list them here for clarity and emphasis. Join with me in a push to save what we have left of the classic server we all love. We'll have all the new we need in War 2.0. Why allow the legacy server to lose it's legacy?

    Warsong
    This map has been here the golden days of War, and now it's gone. Everyone wants to see this map return. It's classic, and hasn't been an issue for as long as it's been here.

    Beaver
    Nostalgia at it's finest. The clash of the sides is even emphasized by use of the classic red and blue. Snipers and oldies treasure this map, and the incessant war for control of the hallways provides nonstop fun for everyone.
    [​IMG]

    Killhouse2
    It's one of those maps that shakes up the monotony of War. It's small, chaotic, and an all around great time! It's also pretty classic, as it's a remake of the old map killhouse.
    [​IMG]

    Shipment
    Another older map that shakes up the monotony of War. It's been around since the good ol' days. I remember when @future5 changed maps to this one with 50 players on server 1. Good times. Good times...
    [​IMG]

    Teststrip
    One of the absolute best maps for small games. Perhaps the best for 1v1s, this map couldn't be more balanced. Everything about it screams McWar. The classic blue and red come head to head. Beautiful, yet simple.
    [​IMG]

    HaloOutpost
    An enormous map loved by the snipers of McWar. The perfect map for server 1, this was as close as it got to a real battle when the servers topped 70 players. Though the servers aren't as full today, it's still a fun map to get in touch with your inner sniper.
    [​IMG]

    Showdown
    This map couldn't have a better name. When the name Showdown appears in the chat, players know that they are in for a chaotic war for ground. The team that wins the center, wins the game.
    [​IMG]

    Please comment and vote on which maps you would like to see stay! We might save these maps yet! Also, for a bit of added discussion, please share the good times you had on these maps. I'm sure the nostalgia addicts (such as myself) among us will appreciate it.

    tyvm!

    With :V,
    Randy

    We still have Killhouse but only in infected. I am all for adding these old maps back in even if we have to change some things to make them more balanced. These are the maps I have played on for the last 3 years and I do not want to see them gone forever.

    HaloOutPost can stay out, blue dominates red almost every given time since you have only two main ways to go outside. Unless the spawns are actually balanced, then it'll have to stay out.
    I miss TestStrip and Showdown :c
    Showdown was kinda imbalanced but oh memories.

    Yeah, HaloOutpost is removed because of the unbalanced blue spot.

    I really do miss Warsong. Why did it even get removed? Its a fair and square sniper map, and it actually depends on the players that are in there, same as in Beaver and Showdown.
    These are the maps I want back, I still remember them from when ai joined. Gosh, I don't want to lose those awesome memories

    Open area leading to spawns usually. Someone would normally point their Isolator from one spot and fire in that direction. That's my guess.
    Oh man, the memories did last. Rest in pizza Warsong :c

    To be honest, Warsong and beaver were 100% balanced and these maps shouldn't have been removed. Any player on any side with any gun can succeed in the maps. Not to mention, they were also pretty old maps considered to be classics and those really shouldn't be taken out. Warsong will always be my favourite map and I don't think I will play war if it's not re-added.

    You're not playing War because... one map that comes up maybe once or twice a week isn't on the rotation?

    But yeah, it really sucks to see these go. I don't think they're coming back though, I've never really seen the staff go back on something, no matter the criticism.

    Warsong is probably the reason I still hop on. :V I don't really play war that much anymore anyway.

    Am I the only one who likes testrip? The undetailed terrain makes it good.

    I would love to see Showdown & Shipment saved, shipment is a wonderful map for small amounts of people and close contact, while showdown is a map I feel fits war better than any CoD map in war. Warsong I'm okay with, but I don't care where it ends up.

    If any of these, warsong needs to stay. But the other ones are still nice.

    I think all these maps should stay, including HaloOutpost. Maybe they could just nerf the blue team.

    Maybe they should bring back blowout, oilfactory, and old dday :open_mouth:
