Whats happened to some of my fave maps?

I'm loving the new update, but the past few months I've noticed a number of great maps appear to have been dropped from the mod namely:

Muttrah City
Helmand Province
Airport

I had a lot of fun on these maps, and I'd be interested to know why they were dropped?

PS - I apologise if this question has already been asked, I did a quick search and couldn't find any info regarding this.

Well, Muttrah City is being redone for .8.

Helmand Province I think was just too small and was being used on too many 64 player servers.

No idea about Airport but whenever I played it Brits only rarely captured the flags around the hangars and the power plant, or whatever they were called. haven't played the map in ages (obviously)

they where droped for good reasons and will not return.
- Muttrah City => remade 4 times bigger, probably in 0.8, old one was too small for
the reacent pr versions
- Helmand was also to small, but new afganistan maps are on the way (there is
archer already in 0.75, and Sangin is also on the way)
- Airport was simply to vanilla

Oh cool, good news about Muttrah, I am really enjoying the new Archer map, a bigger Helmand map would be awesome.

I take your point about Airport being vanilla, but it's nice to have some smaller maps i feel for when servers aren't full, or for servers who aren't running 64 slots.

yeah. airport sucked badly in terms of playing style. felt like vbf2 imho. i don't think it was due to the map design though, but rather due to the fact that players are hardcoded

Airport was seriously the worst map I have ever played.

Muttrah 2.0 will be win covered in fast.

Airport may return in the future, as a night map, however:

don't think so, it was a nice test, but serious, it still is a vanilla map.

yeah was a funny map, i agree, but it was also too small, but it would be great to get a similar map again

Yeh I loved that map too, it had an amazing atmosphere, a bigger version of that would be amazing!
