Map requirements for 1.1?

[JMM]

What are you talking about?

The gameplay.

There is NO gameplay in those maps whatsoever.

Yes there is.

Also, I should mention that I was using them as an example, to illustrate a point. To be honest, those are the maps I care for the least (though I've seen some "good" oldvillage-esque maps). What I'm saying is that there are "stupid" maps that, even though they are nowhere near good enough to be officials/map pack material, show some (very..."different") creative talent and are actually fun to play.

Which, anyway, is beside the point.

Also, these restrictions won't limit creativity. You see all the official maps? All of those fit into the restrictions but yet, every single one of them is creative and original in its own way.

Yes, they will. And that's a bad example, fallacious at best.

Yes, obviously some creative talent has gone into official maps.
Yes, the official maps do fit into these limits.

That does NOT mean that the limits don't impede creativity, and that all good, creative maps will be fine with these restrictions.
