Well, Breeze Island 2 basically is a remake of Breeze Island V1, just with the difference that Breeze Island 2 was made by the same builder, who made Breeze Island V1...
So I don't really understand why you like Breeze Island 2 and dislike Demons Breeze with the comment that you don't like remakes. They are both remakes.
Breeze Island 2 isn't a remake, it is a sequel. On Demon's Breeze, the person took the map
static_nightmare made and changed the water to lava and made bridges, etc. On Breeze Island 2 they actually completely started over: made new mountains, new ships, more builds, etc. See the difference? Demon's Breeze, to an extent, is a rip off; while Breeze Island 2 and a brand new map.
Just my opinion on a few of the maps
Moonbase9 is a amazing maps with lots of good gameplay and really good tiering
It's one of those maps where I'm guaranteed to get one enchant on at least one of my weapons :3
Only main downside to this map is the chases can be quiet long thanks to all the really flat ground
I personally really enjoy breeze island 2 as well, its also got great tiering and I get really fast paced gameplay on it
Especially since it is a fairly nice map that's easy to maneuver on the water thanks to the lily pads
It really is a much better version of the original breeze island even if people consider it as a cheap knock off
Fallen Empire is a unique map to me because it's the only map where I can fight and ride on horses :3
It's a big map which takes a long time to finish so I use that time to fish for a saddle (Done it 3 times b4 lol) and go around killing people on a horse, it's pretty hilarious xD
As for sg 1-5, they are the classic and original ones and should always stay
In my opinion, lobby games is to OP with the blimp and was OP with the diamond sword but they fixed that at least
Demons breeze is just unique on its own, well tiered and fun to play on with the lava. It's brings a really different aspect with all the lava and personally one of my fav maps to take teams out on :3
They are just my opinions on the few map, the rest of the maps are fairly self explanatory like valley side
I would just like to point out that Demon's Breeze is the most unoriginal map, since it was ripped off from Breeze Island. But, I understand what you mean. I too enjoy it, but for sake of a "map cleaning" that is what I thought of it. Most people didn't notice, I left my bias out of the reviews above (obviously there is some, but)... Above, I wanted to get rid of some maps I liked and keep some maps I didn't like. I used mostly facts as far as gameplay and builds go. I also used my better judgement: "So there are nearly 40 MCSG maps. I have to look past which ones I like and make decisions based on ORIGINALITY, gameplay, builds, popularity, etc."
