What happened to the old released maps!?

[sovietpolarbear]

Did the devs make 'em shoo?

[Jigsaw]

Yes.

PR's file size is fairly limited due to the sheer amount of data that goes into it, think that the current size is over 3GB to download and then imagine how much bigger it would be if all past maps were included...

Therefore with that in mind old, poor quality maps are removed as they become outdated and are replaced by maps with greater quality, more statics etc and far superior design.

Don't worry though, as many of the old maps will be coming back in a separately downloadable add on map pack.

yeah, servers who run the classic mappack are real popular

[dtacs]

Ones that run Mao Valley, Helmand Province and OGT will be very popular

With the highest amount of players ever being less than 50...

That last part is a bit of (see significant) a stretch.

Erm, because... the classic map pack for 0.9 has been released...?

It is up to players to make the servers popular (when they are up and the mappack has been released), nothing else that the development team can really do except give the opportunity and allow the community to use that as they wish.

That last part is a bit of (see significant) a stretch.

Examples?

Can't really see how maps like Sunset City, Road to Kyongan 'Ni, EJOD Desert and Seven Gates were any better designed or more detailed (or even just equal) to new maps like Silent Eagle, Lashkar Valley, Iron Ridge or Siege at Ochamchira.

[sniperrocks]

Yeah, newer maps are far more detailed than the older ones imo
old ones no longer met the standards

[Rudd]

I'd love to see reworked versions of some of the old PR maps like EJOD, but they'd need to be at least 2k etc
