remove 50% of the maps in next patch?

[The great Cornholio]

as we all know. there are some " less good" maps in the game that nobody plays and with good reason. is it not time to get rid of swamps of slaughter and all the other awfull maps that we never ever play. just a little house cleaning. nobody will ever miss them.

[Cyris]

Curious: What maps specifically would you like to see gone?

[Swift]

Why remove them? It's not like we have a popular automatch system or a load of people playing them.

[The great Cornholio]

cant remember all the names.. but

geilescwin mine
return to galgotha somthing
swamps of slaughter
habour somthing

even max power called some of his first maps for bad and wanted them removed..
like i said iam bad with map names cause i never play them... but we all avoid the same maps... just purge them..

[ChrisNihilus]

I agree.

It would make the things a little bit more clear, and, with a little bit of luck, people will start to experiment on different maps once we took the bad ones out and leave only the "community approved" ones.

[The great Cornholio]

yes.. let the great map purge begin....

[Batpimp]

please remove them!

[Deflaktor]

agree!

also remove the maps which are way too huge.

[ChrisNihilus]

yes.. let the great map purge begin....

In this case we can safely call it an Exterminatus

[Impregnable]

as we all know. there are some " less good" maps in the game that nobody plays and with good reason. is it not time to get rid of swamps of slaughter and all the other awfull maps that we never ever play. just a little house cleaning. nobody will ever miss them.

I definitely agree with you. We need to start a vote for removal of some very bad maps that no one plays. It is a huge pain in the ass for hosts too go through that map list in order to click on maps he wants. It is just way too long and full or junks.

[Swift]

Remove Lugganath Glacier

[SinisterLaugh]

Disagree, because I don`t think that removing stuff from already not so popular game will do it any good.

Remove Lugganath Glacier

Nono, its cool, don`t remove it!

[Swift]

No, it's a snow map, it's bad.

[Batpimp]

remove player sisnterlaugh

[Atlas]

Let's remove 3v3 Argus Gate while we're at it.

[The great Cornholio]

just please remove them... some of them are so god awfull they should never have been included in elite at all..ill be happy 2 make a list of maps for the purge

[Swift]

Then instead of bawling your eyes out, make a list of the ones you want removed.

[enasni127]

i can't look for names cause i'm at work atm and i might spell some of them wrong but here are some that i really hate:

armageddon river crossing (its played by some people but it's so fucking lame...)
skullmasha brackens
tartarus harbor
fall of hyades (not sure if i mix it up. i mean this oversized jungle version of argus desert gate)
nids never sleep (i somehow like its look but it plays a bit weird)

[Slaaneshi Cacophony]

How much space do the map files even take up in the first place?

[The great Cornholio]

ill be happy 2 make a list.. but i just have this feeling that the elite team never listens to people...
but sure ill make a list

and slaanesh iam pretty sure they dont take up that much space... its just annoying to go through the list of useless maps again and again to find the map you want.

[Wise Windu]

How much space do the map files even take up in the first place?

Since 3v3s are the biggest: 3v3s generally anywhere from 10 to 25 MB

[The great Cornholio]

So here we go...

1v1

mirage
plaza primarus
tallarn ravine
wrazgots leadfoot


2v2

biffys peril redux
nids never sleep
valhalla


3v3

armageddon river crossing
fall of hyades
garzweiler mine ( ffs max... what were you thinking? )
kasyr lutien
return to golgotha ( really really really bad bad map )
tartarus harbor ( max no no no )
skull masha
swamps of slaughter ( worst map in the game )
soprony brood lairs

NOBODY will miss those maps.. they are played once when new players get elite.. and they never ever go back 2 them... and with good reason..

cornholio has spoken

[SinisterLaugh]

I will miss Armageddon River Crossing, had some fun there. And it has "Armageddon" in its name.

As for other maps. Well, someone might use them in videos on gameplay, fightclub thing, WH40k DoW2 fan movies, etc.

[Swift]

Whilst not in favour of removal, there are a lot of duff maps which combined take up lots of space. 1v1 averages at 10mb, 2v2 at 15mb and 3v3 20-30mb. Four or five bad 3v3 maps is over a hundred Mb of data saved, just to put it into perspective.

[Batpimp]

Please save all the maps what is really big dill about this dont like then dont play them. Some ppl play them. No biggy here.

the maps need fixing they are terrible. They don't make sense why they are in there and the balancing of the flow of the map is way off compared to the better maps, nobody plays them (for good reason). They are a bad representation of the elite mod. its like not fixing balance stuff and leaving it there over a year. I applaud and thank anyone for making maps but that is no reason to keep maps that are awful. Delete the maps so they aren't played and aren't representing the elite mod. What do you think a newbie to the game will think when they see these maps and how bad they are?

Are you happy now? Why do you even care they aren't your maps and you aren't fixing them.

[The great Cornholio]

Please just take them out.. will make the mod file smaller and people can just download the bad maps perhaps in another file if they really are in the mood for some bad maps and wasting their time with them.... we all know nobody plays them... and they are just wasting space

[MaxPower]

Okay then, lets continue our list:

- Avensa because its a clusterfuck of a map
- Death World Temple - because bad map layout
- Vanilograd Harbor - because way too campy
- all Calderis Refinery variants - because its really easy to get base locked (bad map design)
- Sicaris Plateau - because the left side has an advantage over the right side
- Capital Spire - top team has an advantage over the bottom team
- Capital Spire Redux - because it looks like someone took a dumb and released it as a map
- Tiber Outpost - because its too big
- Kathari Ruins - because I don't like it
- Typhon Areana - because abusing turrets on that map is too easy, especially on the bottom part of the map
- Ulthane Temple - because people with shitty pcs always complain about some shit
- Valhalla Oilfield - because too big
- Angel Gate - because horrible vehicle pathing


That leaves us with the bestest maps:

- all the argus variants, argent shelf, JoC (trolololol) and White Walls of Calderis

[Forestradio]

- Angel Gate - because horrible vehicle pathing

remove every map in the game in this case

[MaxPower]

Actually a good idea, let me quote Stalin here: "One map, one problem. No map, no problem."

[The great Cornholio]

what you say max is mostly true. but then we would be left with 5 maps or somthing.. seems a little extreme.. even argus has a flaw or 2. and people love that map.. we mostly need 2 get rid of all the crap maps that were made for elite. not the old ones from retail
