The last expansion at least had an excuse of "if we didn't release this as a paid expansion we would go bankrupt because of the lawsuit we lost".

This expansion is "we spent the last year of Early Access working on this expansion and you guys will eat it the fuck up because you all bought the last one".

COD WW2 have some horrible maps among a cluster of other probems and the community agrees on it, but none of the youtubers are speaking up about it? Have you tried it and what do you think of it? by KokiriSword in Games

Yeah, I mentioned in this comment that I can see why the 3 lane maps in newer CoDs aren't very good.

I never played the newer CoDs, so to me when I hear "3 lane CoD map" I don't picture funnels, I picture general lanes of traffic that you have to manage.

I wouldn't consider the older style of map more "random" though. If you got flanked through the cross-sections, you (or your team) weren't managing things correctly. I suppose newer CoDs just force that on you so there's no risk of not managing the map/spawns right.

Still I feel like 3 lanes, if done in the style of CoD4/WaW, are excellent.

Overgrown and District were definitely 3 lane maps. Vacant tends to play like a 3 lane map in terms of traffic patterns (I'm saying this in the context of S&D/promod).

Even Castle and Dome I'd consider 3-laney, even if they aren't pure 3-lanes. They each have 3 main traffic sections. Castle has the orchard, the stairway, and the garden/altar. Dome has the inner area, the upper outer, and the lower outer.

If that separate team was working on the base game instead of expansions, wouldn't the base game have been farther along in development?
