@ alien,
map requisites help the quality of the maps produced. I think it was Igor Stravinksy said that it is much easier to work within confines than start from nothing.
By quality of maps I'm thinking in terms of the overall quality. A map can look great but be awful to play like ac_sylang. It's one thing to cater to pubs, it's another completely to add maps that only work as pub games. If you want to add maps, heed what undead has to say. You all may think he's a cunt, but in terms of balancing maps (his re-work of iceroad has a lot of insight put into it) he's quite good. If we bolster both the number and quality of maps in the official package, that would be a step in the right direction.
