More maprestriction in next AC?

[Alien]

The only people who want to play on maps with 100 fps+ less than normal are the noobs jumping off megatowers thinking they are cool.

The map size influences fps rate, but it is also the quality of computer. I play under 100 fps on official maps and "that laggy maps" still work for me. It sounds to me so arrogant. I enjoyed maps with FPS 26 on old computer. You should try better games where you can show your FPS skills, Mr. Pro ;)

Sauerbraten has no restrictions and a "better" map editor, people can go map there instead.

But Sauerbraten has other gameplay. And you cannot apply there maps created in AC and vice versa. The engine is so different. Your friends in AC will not move to Sauer because your map.

wonder why people want things that the engine just can't handle

But the engine can handle them, the maps aren't just focused on FPS tournaments and official matches. You can find difficult maps for engine even in commercial games. It is prize for something other in the game. It is strange to have fear of it in OS.
