hai. i know you all love me so much so ive decided to create yet another ill-fated AC forums discussion. had some downtime in university so ive been dabbling into ac again.
the subject of today's discussion is why ac_ruinas1.1 is not an official map. i can understand why my maps won't become official but there are some that should just really be in there and aren't.
why ac_ruinas1.1 should be official:
-a majority of the ac community complains about the size of the official map collection and says it should be bigger. adding this map, which certainly qualifies in terms of quality and playability, would help this issue
-it provides a different type of playing style. the pit in the middle throws an interesting parkour-like twist that most official maps really don't have
-ac_toxic is a map lmao...(sorry RK but i just don't know how that one snuck in. unlike a large portion of this gaming community, i actually enjoy ac_aqueous). if the DEVs want to include a largely un-detailed and flag-less map into the official rotation, why not improve on both of these concepts and add a detailed map capable of hosting CTF matches.
how ac_ruinas1.1 could be improved:
-flag bases. they could be farther apart and if it really came down to it, the map could be expanded if people still think they are too close. i liked Pi_Halo's work with ac_wasteland. he could probably do something similar with this map.
-dat's it. other than that, this map is beautiful
a quick look at the map (i dont give a fuck that my gun/console/icons are showing. i was born lazy.):

other maps i suggest that should be added:
-apollo's facility and venganza. other apollo maps too plox
-ac_hq. other jiba maps
-ac_chernobyl
-ac_thirst and ac_cyrville (damn straight im self-promoting. i think a grand total of four people in this game have actually taken a look at my maps (a sincere thank you to Z3R0, lucas, felix-the-ghost, SrPER$IAN. you know i always appreciated the encouragement and help you guys gave)
-ac_metl3 (this map would be a great answer to douze for those douze-haters out there. i think with its simplicity both detail and layout wise, newcomers and elites alike would flock to this map)
-ac_zanka (this map would be a kickass 1v1 map. idk how balanced you could call it though)
