About dropping maps: when a new version is just out, it's likely this will happen, but I hope they will return soon. My experience tells me I'm gonna miss some of those maps when they have been away for too long.
I wish now that the "Newer" Africa maps were played more than the old ones. Fall of Tobruk is Epic. Giarabub is Epic. Crete is Epic. I know for a fact I would stay on HSLAN longer, as would other people if new maps were played more that the 2.0 maps.
Crete is not from 2.15, or do you consider 2.1 to be new as well?
Ya. The 2.0 maps simply do not have the quality/level of detail as the newer maps. Most people will admit this. I'm not saying that the old maps are bad. I'm saying newer ones need to be played more. Basically no one wants to play Aberdeen,Halfa, or maybe even supercharge. Dont get me wrong I like some old maps. I love Bardia, Sfakia, and Sidi Rezegh. But new maps like Fall of Tobruk are just so much better they need to be played more. God I want to play that map
