Idea blackout 5 best meme

to literally nobody's surprise, people are still submitting map remakes. in some cases it actually works nicely, but i feel that some of our ctfers have lost touch with time. kill creek 6, blackout 2-10, moria 6, beaver creek... you see where i'm going.

for more recent maps i could honestly care less, but this trend of bringing back 7 year old maps from the grave because your reskin looks better is hardly efficient in the scheme of attempting to make ctf a dynamic environment. i know it can be hard to find ideas for new maps that actually work in ctf, but it needs to start happening. players who are familiar with the later versions are (and will be) sick of the limited block array in 1.8, so the least we can do is diversify as much as possible instead of constantly living in the past.

 

I'm not saying ban all remakes, I'm saying the rotations are so heavily loaded with them each time that the actual new maps get drowned out. I was wrong to say people aren't making enough new maps - the correct version of that is that a majority of them (including the good ones) are overlooked because the same 200 people vote on each testing wave, and of that 200 the majority somehow isn't tired of the repetition. "Assuring you have a say" means nothing when you're whispering at someone with a megaphone.
