If I remember correctly 5/6 years ago there were maps (a North Arfrica map with deseret and extremely deep canyons-- and a Russian front map with snow) that had very cool terrain, and that was long before the recent update that had palm trees and improved graphics. Some of those may have been 8 v 8 maps, but they were still very cool maps.
I wish that HTC will either make new maps or offer some sort of incentive for players to make HTC rules approved maps. The current maps are very stale (especially the small maps) and it would be great to see new maps in rotation.
