What 5 maps would you miss the least?

This is the opposite to all the "Favorite Map Polls".
A easy question and I hope to get many honest answers.
Also I would like to know a little about why you have chosen your maps.
Give me a couple of headwords for each of your choice.
Don't fear to hurt anybody.

Please note that I made this poll out of personal interest only. Please don't interpret any bigger meaning to it because of me being a Developer.

Tunis, Anctoville and Battle of Brest. Pointless CoD-like frag fests...
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Anctoville- Pretty, but I don't much like the gameplay.
Mount Olympus- See above.
Ramelle Neuville- See above above.
Villers Bocage- It's much too laggy for me to properly play, and I don't like the lighting, would prefer it be a nice midday map like liebsey.
Couldn't think of a 5th.

Anctoville - Just strikes me as a duplicate map and is bettered by Tunis, Brest and Luttich

Bardia - It pains me to say this but this map is ugly and the gameplay just can't make up for that any more, its been superseded by Giarabub

Mersa Matruh - I can't say I've ever enjoyed this map, its been superseded by Fall of Tobruk

Operation Aberdeen - This map has never been balanced or looked good, its been superseded by Gazala

Operation Supercharge - This map gets boring very fast and is superseded by Mareth Line

Well, I like those maps.

I wouldn't miss supercharge because of that big distances between the fortresses.
Every infantrymen or truck gets shot inbetween and tanks are safe at all, just a rapefest for mgs and AT
Same goes for Gazala and its design in the original BF42 was much nicer
Siege of Tobruk sucks as German because of the slaughter

Ramelle-Neuville, doesnt belong to FH2 imho. Hypocrit to first hone yourself with historical accuracy and highly realistic maps and then make this sort of a popcorn fart.

Operation Aberdeen because it is just a bad map which presents the real operation horribly. It *could* be made into resembling at least somehow what it was but that is highly unlikely going to happen.

I voted for Anctoville because I've hardly ever enjoyed playing this map. Sure it looks great and has an unique weather style to it but I cant receive fun in this map. Mostly because I am not an infantry player and I had to choose between this and other BETTER infantry maps from which I do get enjoyment from.

Tunis has never felt to me that it has the FH2 quality. It doesnt give the FH2 feeling as it is more Call of Duty like, no, not even that, more like CounterStrike. And Im kinda lost at it when I do not get the feeling that it is one of the last struggles between axis and allied within the northern african campaign. It does not give me this "epic last stand" feeling. Plus I despite infantry combat, and this is nothing but that, so it receives my vote.

-

I would have picked Bardia too, but only because it is butt-ugly. I wouldnt miss the old Bardia one single bit if some facelifting would be done to it. I didnt vote for it because it is a helluva fun map and contains both aussies and italians which is always a plus, despite the map looking low-quality compared to majority of FH2 maps. My only wish is that the map would be made to look far better sometime in the future.

And who cares for 100% accuracy. I don't. The gameplay and the look is much more important.

I wount vote because i lack the amount of voters to vote for all African maps.

But here i go i cant stand the African maps anymore we played them for 2 years almost only the african maps every bloody evening in 2 years before we got Normandy, sins the mod advances thrue the war so shut the map cycle and remove the bloody african maps, some a fun but some i cant stand to look at anymore, they were greate for there time but move on let them die pls, eventualy there will be so meny maps to choose from that i doo hope server owners will choose not to put them in the rotation anymore and like the mod witch advances thrue the war so will the server owners with the map list. otherwise servers with specific theatre of war maps would be nice.

I only voted for two maps. Because, once the map would really be taken off, I'd miss them anyway, even if I don't really like them. Just not being able to play it would be very harsh for me.

I picked two maps which I dislike the most:

- Aberdeen, because since 2.2? it is a very one sided map which always ends the same. Also, it feels too generic, too "fake".

- Mersa Matruh, I only enjoy one flag, Garawla. Everything else bogs down into a stalemate which can continue endlessly (same goes for El Alamein, btw, too long stalemates with 500 tickets each, but that map has other points which are good). Mersa Matruh always makes me leave the server. Also, I know it is very very accurate and all, but I think it is very ugly.

@Priest: wow, whats with the Africa hate mate? Variety would be killed for sure if your plan is executed ;)

Aberdeen because well it's Aberdeen the Ultimate Mirror Balance Fight with an Asymmectrical flag on the west side of the map. Only the scout plane make it sort of funny.

And Priest your words saddens me, Africa needs a little bit more love. :)

Battle of Brest - Can't stand this map, no place to sneak around, 1 or 2 paths to follow, fragfest, etc.

Operation Cobra - Seen it too many times, not much for me to do as infantry.

Operation Lüttich - Feels like going back to vBF2, symmetric map in all points. I don't like that, good tank hunting map though but quickly becomes boring as it's always the same spot.

Operation Totalize - Played way too much, not much to do as infantry either.

Falaise Pocket - Always ends as a diespawndiespawndie fest for me, the few times I ragequit in FH2, it's like Falaise or the maps above.

@Priest, haters gonna hate. Africa is still the most fun.
