    I've been hearing rumors that several "ugly" maps are being removed form the map rotations by Brawl staff, one of them being Blackout.
    I've been told blackout looked "too ugly"
    Please re-evaluate this. Most of your War TDM maps look even worse, being hard to navigate and looking like someone sterilized one of our old CTF maps, slums.
    Blackout, while not the Miss Universe of CTF maps is also by far the most basic yet balanced CTF map that has stood the test of time for over a year and a half.
    I can definitely say if staff removes blackout, they will loose a good 20-40% of all MCPvP CTF migrants.
    It's a favorite among CTFers and it would be a shame and an outrage to see it go.

    I'd be quite disappointed. I assume Whiteout would be taken off too? Although, it does LOOK better than Blackout.

    Where did you hear this? If it is true, then please do not remove blackout, let us have and say in what maps we want to keep or remove.

    Blackout will not be removed. Several maps may be retextured, Blackout included, but only the aesthetics will be changed. Gameplay on all maps will remain almost entirely unchanged unless a structure looks really ugly. :stuck_out_tongue:

    The maps will be reworked by the Kodo build team (click my sig for info), which is comprised entirely of Build and CTF mods and regulars - with the exception of @MrOhs, who will be overseeing the project along with myself. I'd love to encourage you all to get involved if you believe you're a good enough builder.

    Tagging me was not good because I hate Blackout with all my soul.

    I wanted to have opinions form the people who liked it and people who hated it. Even thought the spawn is problematic, I don't think it should go, even only for the nostalgia (which is not it's only feature).

    Wow. This really kills me more than when I saw that mcpvp was sold. I LOVE blackout and if you remove it, you'll have to remove whiteout too. Both of these are my 2 favorite maps, and seriously, everyone loves blackout. It's one of the few old maps that has stayed alive. It's going to be a great loss for most people. I'm being honest here, most of the servers you have are un-balanced and laggy. If you do remove that map, and many other's that are apparently "like" it, you surely will loose many migrants.

You would understand if you were a CTFer.

    Just to clear it up: I heard rumors of this from some ex-MCPvP CTF players and staff, but only rumors.

    I'd pay any amount of money to remove blackout
    Blackout would never be accepted now and it should never have been.

    It's not gonna happen though, so (sadly) rejoice!

    I highly doubt it
    If you would do that, it shouldn't just be because of how it looks and game play. Many people love the game play and sometimes looks, maybe It's just something with you and a few others. If so many people love it, and you are the few who I have seen hating it to death, I'm not sure it will happen. Plus, did you ever have a bad experience on blackout? Maybe that's why you hate it so much.

    Hey brawl staff, do not touch any of the maps. Let the CTF mods do that

    No, it's just a bad map. The aesthetics are bad and the gameplay is subpar. If it were to be reevaluated without rose tinted glasses it's obvious that Blackout would never be accepted as a map.

    Agreed. Brawl staff don't do anything just let the originals do the work.

    I did :stuck_out_tongue:. It looks like you have great builders in your team :open_mouth:. I'm sure you'll do a great remaking some ctf maps :smile:, so I can play on them.

    It can't be as bad as you are stating.
    If everyone played it daily, and this including staff, I'm sure it would come to everyone's attention of how bad the aesthetics are and the gameplay too. If it were to be reevaluated, it would pass.

    Blackout has great amazing gameplay.
    It's one of the few maps I actually play.
    Oh and don't add to much aesthetics. Like 20 trillion slabs and stairs. Because I'm gonna lag my ass off.

    No maps will be removed now (except those intended for removal in Wave X, whenever it will be released). =)

    Before telling the brawl staff to re-evaluate decisions, first find out whether or not those rumors are true! C'mon man.

    No maps are being removed because they are "too ugly." Maps will obviously be reworked as we see fit, but no maps are going to be outright removed. Please don't jump to conclusions! :angelic:
