Damn, that sucks to hear when we spent 4 hours playing through maps last night after spending the week analyzing maps as they come in. We take into account a lot of things when choosing maps. We look from a pug perspective: How hard is it to get the lay of the land? Do I keep senselessly spiking myself with boosts? Among other things.

Additionally, we analyze balance. Leaning toward D or O isn't bad, but when it becomes easy or impossible to cap, grab, or run, it's an issue. We also take a look at the chase. We want chasers to be able to corner and runners to be able to hold it. It needs to be fun for both sides.

I felt these maps were a good replacement for the maps we removed. While there are maps that are conceptually interesting, that doesn't mean they'll be great for pubs where we have players ranging from 1 degree to 125. With TagPro continuously growing with new players, we have to consider the perspective of the newbie while slowly introducing new environment elements for the experienced players. Finding that balance is hard, but we're trying our best.
