Good way of perception, go ahead. Map-creation should imo never be a self-purpose but influenced by the players out there. There's no shame in listening to opinions.

i know what ppl like and dont like, its quite obvious which maps are favourites and which are not if you look at the public servers.
but we dont need another urban or riot lookalike, i think we need some originality. if a mapmaker only listens to the community all maps will look the same and be played the same.

I spend some time expressing my point accurately. Please take some time to look at it more closely, Bail. You are twisting my intention.

indeed i am, i just felt like write freely about this subject.

great job, me like

It looks like a nice map drago, and im glad ppl keep doing maps etc.. but 1 thing.

When u guys make maps, remember the most important detail,
1. we dont play aq2 becouse of the good look in this mod, or something like that, since we like the speed and the feeling, and with that i also mean that maps should be made with some 'feeling'.
Can explain that with 1 example, cliff2: Why does ppl still play it? ofc since it is a so pwnassmap , and ofc some hate it, and mostly why ppl hate it is since they suck at it(not all but MANY).

that was just 1 map example, but u get my point, remember to when ur doing a map, its not the looks that matter.

Yes, this is exactly why people play this map.

That surely is top class explanation

An explanation that applies to every map out there?
"People play this map because they are good at it, other people don't like playing it because they are not good at it"

looks kind of ok, but knowing myself, i probably wont download it and test.. only looked at the screens as always;)
