Bullpup, step outside of your box and look at the other servers that don't run a ladder and look at the success of maps there, unlucky for them, the ladder servers are full nearly all the time and the others simply are not, this is a community that defines it self on scores and what better way to do that then a few fast paced, easy to score, nade spamming maps
(hence why hunt the flag on ac_desert isn't allowed anymore, cause of the people misusing it to get more points, quicker)
maps are official for a reason, because they are playable (less likely to lag), fit the theme of assault cube, balanced, and enjoyable, get out there and play something you haven't 1,000 times before, who knows, you might like it if you ACTUALLY give it a try
read into what servers are being played and what maps are being played on those servers then look at the users who vote those maps, i can promise you the vast majority are high ranked on the ladders :)
The key to change... is to let go of fear
(yes, again i am referring to the fear of a bad ratio or not enough flags to maintain your ladder score)
