Why do you say that?
The way I see it is this: a new player downloads the game, and one of the first impressions of the game comes from seeing his/her surroundings upon starting it, i.e. the map.
AC has long held its appeal for being widely available to players who use all sorts of machines, from high end to low end, and everything in between.
However, today with plenty of other online FPS games, the low graphics that made the game so widely available are now starting to not work in the game's favor
That said, there are at least a few mappers who have been able to take the tools that the game's mapping engine has given them, to create some maps that are not just visually appealing, but also suitable for gameplay as well. Many of these don't see the light of day because its so hard to get custom maps recognized outside of a select few server rotations (rip BoB custom server), so having Zero (and dogdancing too perhaps) work on bringing these viable maps to the possibility of official inclusion could only help bolster that first impression.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, that's just the way I see it.
