A map that is mostly white to represent snow. I know they have them in AvA.This would be like the Russian front and Europe in winter.Also a map to represnt North Africa, being kinda flat and mostly brown like sand.

VonMessa, having tools for map making is no excuse for HTC not making maps! (atleast 6 a year!)

Those tools only serve the custom arenas properly, due to the difficulty, skill and time required to make a good large one :_(

All maps still have to pass all the checks before they can be uploaded. To be used in the main arenas, extra scrutiny by HTC is required to make sure the map overall is balanced properly to not give any of the three countries an initial advantage, and other considerations deemed necessary by HTC.

Of difficulty, skill, and time, the only real factor for making a large map is time.

Indeed.

Most of the best maps are player-created.

Point out where it says that HTC will be responsible for adding more maps.

Maps are just a place to play. How people play is all up to the players.
