Take a bit of time from your PR playing and start learning and doing it if just some people of the community does it we would have a ton of maps no time
wait what I'm talking about getting maps that already exist not making new ones
unless the old ones need to be converted? in which case hell yeah I'll do it
I'm still going to need a download archive for all the old releases though
I realize it's hard to understand this from the player's point of view, but every map that's in PR has to be updated and looked after. Right now we have 45 maps and it's a lot more work than you think to fix bugs and keep them all updated. Also, the more maps we have to update, the less time we have for new maps.
Plus, name another fps game that gives you 45 maps! 45 is more than enough.
It had some bugs that affected gameplay and he didn't want to or didn't have the time to fix them... so it got pulled. Those are the bugs that we are now trying to fix.
45 maps.... I've been playing PR for 2 years now and I've not played 2/3 of these maps lol

I think this whole discussion for new maps is redundant, because even if we are able to get a bunch of new maps to play on, people are going to try these new maps once or twice (Because of the length of matches in PR) and never play on them again for the next 3 months. Take the release of PR 0.98 for example, the minimods brought a bunch of new maps to PR, which were played extensively for that week, afterwards, it was Muttrah City or Fallujah on every single server.
The fact of the matter is that I think most players of PR are scared of change, whether in gameplay, weapon handling, asset function(thermals), even map layout. The problem is even more apparent with "elite" clan players, who seem to prefer vanilla PR on Muttrah at almost every map vote.
Below, I have created a list of all maps in PR:BF2, and my opinions and personal experience on the frequency a map is played.

Asad Khal – Med

If you guys disagree with me, feel free to copypasta that list and change it to reflect your personal experiences.
He is right. Not all 45 get played. And the style of gaming presently is more arcade-ish. I think that the larger maps are too difficult for the new generation of players. We asked them to make large maps and they did.. excellent maps but they don't get played a lot. If I was a map maker I'd be a little dismayed.
I hope with 1.0 this changes.
Burning Sands – High
Kokan - Extremely High
Muttrah City – Extremely High
Pavlovsk Bay – High
Vadso City – High
Yamalia – Very Low

Tactical Gamer was an Excellent Server. Yeah that's right, I said that, go a head and BAN ME from your server now!
A couple of these maps I have never even heard of or have only played them once. Seriously loading up and seeing the next map is muttrah, kashan, kokan, Basra or Fallujah makes me want to just disconnect. What ever happened to archer, quinling and yamalia.
Everybody wants to fly,but nobody can.

But seriously, it really doesn't feel like we have 45. I wonder why that is?
I think its because most servers have 10 or so maps they play, either by vote or just by admin setting it next. Idk it feels the same way to me sometimes
