I'll start off with this screenshot:
Let me explain.
Too long? Just read the bold.
--------------------------------------------
Recently, the Map Committee made an announcement on the forums. They said they were going to add in new deathmatch arenas in addition to fixing some bugs on the new maps. I liked this. MCSG is going to get some sweet new gameplay (nothing too major), and fix some stuff. Sounds good! But--
I’ve always been a fan of the Map Committee, don’t get me wrong. I love the people who are in it, the idea of it, heck, I’m friends with the majority of the members. But they kind of were sneaky with us. The other announcement that was made was that they were going to re-tier ALL of the maps.
Wait. All of the maps? That sounds like a huge update, much more important than bug fixes and death-match arenas? Right? Secondly, is that what the community really wants? I mean, we’re the one’s going to be playing these maps, so why not let us make the decision? The other thing that confuses me is why this was at the bottom of the thread. To be fair maybe it was just the way they formatted it or maybe it wasn’t given a second thought but I find it a bit sneaky. As if to prevent some flaming that that might entail. Because I know the majority of the community doesn't read every word of every thread. Typically just the beginning, and then they look at the pictures.
Now, I could go up to Capt or Dave and ask about this but I decided to get the community's input, as it’s you guys who this is really affecting.
Personally, I LIKE the idea. I’ll admit, a lot of the tiers on maps were very sloppily done, and if carefully redone may really help MCSG’s gameplay to be more intense. However, re-tiering ALL of the maps seems a bit extreme to me.
--------------------------------------------
Then what maps should we keep untouched? (Or largely untouched)
Let the community decide is my belief, and fortunately, I think they already did.
Here is what the community thinks are the best tiered: (Organized by Popularity)
How do I know? Awhile back I made a thread asking what people thought was the ‘best’ map in specific areas -- them being aesthetics, gameplay, and of course tiering.
Here is what they said (these are screenshots):
