Just after releasing cutsom map support, we used to play great "reality" based maps like towns, forests, mountains etc. Now, people play mostly maps based on squares and triangles, with shitty, unnatural colours, showing only lack of author imagination. Why servers like aloha uscentral are so popular? This maps ARE boring, with their simple look and gameplay, focused mainly on small and/or flat areas.
I remember few brillant maps, already forgotten, like that desert map with some buildings and hills, lots of cactuses and square canyon in the middle, or that "port" map, with a lot of water in the south and middle part, but fucking DOZENS of buildings on the shore (and fucking mountains in north). Maps like that was really worthy, but somehow 85% of AoS players, cannot saw it's greatness - wtf is wrong with you? Why you play on maps made in few moments, mostly small and ugly? You getting lost on bigger terrain or you are 5yr old kid who NOW MUST RUN FORWARD AND SHOOT AND KILL AND DIE AND RESPAWN AND RUN FORWARD? Explain yourself.
