Waystin probably decided to post that right when he read "Rumor has it"
I said "rumor has it" because HTC never officially, to my knowledge posted as to why that map was pulled. It could have been a technical issue like the original "Pizza" map, but we never heard anything on the Donut map.
The point was the players "believe" that it was removed because the furballers were hurting the game. Just like the "rumored" cheats, perception can hurt the game more than the truth.
Personally I like to see strat bombers, GVers, base takers and so on. The more the merrier. While I preffer to fight in fighters I'm open to all kinds of game play. The issue is the lack of fights. Too many players running from fights, too many players bailing when they get in trouble, too many players hiding.
The game shouldn't be made to cater to one style of play other than a basic commonality..... combat.
