The developers have been adding and removing maps recently on a regular basis. They have also been adding new game modes to improve the variety of game play. What I cannot understand is why they have been removing maps. If you are trying to increase the variety of the game, having a large number of different maps is desirable. In my opinion the developers should have kept all of the maps that they introduced (besides Provence maybe). If a map has a slight statistical bias or anomaly the random nature of they way players are put into a games will even out any advantage gained, as players have an opportunities to play both sides. I would much rather play a large variety of maps rather then the current situation where there is a relatively small rotation of maps that gets stale.

I am interested in other players opinions on the variety of maps currently and on whether they think the new game modes have improved and diversified game play?


P.s. Bring back Swamp

The trouble currently is Encounter Mode has perhaps 7-8 maps and Assault has 6-7 or so.  So even though we have lots of maps overall, we get stuck playing the same few over and over and over.  The solution is simple if Wargaming will do it:

1)  Make more maps Encounter Maps.
2)  Take Assault Mode out behind Wargaming HQ and throw it in the trash can - most players hate it.

I don't get the hate for assault. A good team can make an assult work. Now, encounter is the one that I have a slight problem with, mostly because over half the team lemmings the enemy spawn and dies, whilst a few lights go out to the cap and then get killed by the remainder of the enemy team.
But yeah, we need more maps.

May I ask where you obtained the data to support your claim? I, for one, like to play Assault on the maps.

They've got a enough maps for random rotation to be fun, but many are unavailable to be redesigned. I really want D-Ridge, Swamp, and Province (remodelled) back in random rotation. Komarin, Prokhorovka, and Campnovka can die in a hole though.

I second this.

I do say indeed more maps are required...

In reality I am not looking for new modes though... I am looking at the future of WoT training rooms where you can battle NPCs so newbies that are smart enough to go into a training mode can hone their skills... (But yeah this NPC thing is quite off topic so this all im gonna say)

But yeah I am kinda looking foward to new maps, I would really love more city maps like himmelsdorf that take up more than 50% of the battlefield

Ref RustedPantheress, in pub battles u rarely get a team that is working together to win, If u get them alot then u r fortunate. Next, I played 14 battles, 12 were as the assualting team, won one of them. Only maps I have played on r malinovka (assualt team), porkherover (assualt team), and erlenberg again assualt team. Out of the 14 was defender once and of course we won. they have gone overboard with these types of game modes. Have not played any other map today other than Abby, regular game and that is it. This is crap. Have not playhed artic, fjord or any other that is available. Go back to many maps and just regular games. I have played my last game until that happens.

Ask how many like the assualt mode maps. Would really like to see the response. On the whole , they smell up the place.

Very well said. Hope this will seriously be considered.
Physics would certainly make it fresh again but I'm flipping fried playing these modes over and over.
So freaking tired of the same maps. Very little variety. I am going to stop enjoying most aspects of this game and stop for a while if I can.

[skeetr72]

Personally I do not like Assault mode at all mostly because I have no say whatsoever in playing it.  It is a welcome challenge, but this is a game, why not let us chose when to play the different game modes (kind of like most other games, seriously).

Cheers

They need a random map generator or some sort to spew out new maps. I'm tried of playing the same maps over and rover.

I miss Swamp. That was a fun map and WG should bring it back.
