Quote:"Crap maps" is the wrong word. The problem is "easy maps". When all new and unexperienced players hang around on easy maps, and only skilled players play on proper maps, the barrier for new players to go and learn the layout of real maps is too high. As soon as they join a server with a real game running on it, they will get crushed - and go back to their easy map, where they can hide in a corner. There are no "entry level" games on proper maps anymore.
It takes some time to get the hang of a new game. On AC you can hang around on easy maps and learn nothing, get bored and leave - or join a pub on an official map, get crushed, get frustrated and leave.
This is true. Sometimes unexperienced player move among skilled players and doesnt leave.But this is happening in many other games too, for example in starcraft you can play desert map - for training macro, micro tournament for training micro and many shitty modes. AC has tower map for camping and scoping and sniping, gema for trick jumping, etc. AC hasnt proper singleplayer for sub this. I am sceptical you will be sucessfull with clean AC from the start.
