Implemented Arena Map suggestion thread

Hello guys,

I'd like to get some new maps on the Arena servers, I've already found some which could be an addition to the current mapcycle. I'd like to hear your opinions to this, also feel free to suggest maps which should get removed or new additions aswell. Here you can look for other maps, just make sure the mapname starts with "am_": https://gamebanana.com/maps/cats/8524

However these are the maps I've found:

am_banana: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1078527472

am_jatiiw: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1123724609

am_blacktop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=428806346

am_playground: https://gamebanana.com/maps/190429

am_onroof: https://gamebanana.com/maps/195531

am_fast: https://gamebanana.com/maps/197064

 

Since the map pool would change anyway with this suggestion, I would like to add maybe removing some of the maps, which are
1. not played so often
2. just bad
These would be:

• am_ene_v1
• am_bantz
• am_rob_a
• am_insyhouse
• am_sluice
• am_marble

 

The suggested maps look good exept maybe of "am_blacktop" could be to dark . and i also would agree removing the maps that GehWasserHolen recommendet

 

Please keep this thread open for a few days so I am able to suggest and judge maps in time, will get to it ASAP.

 

I'd like to add am_trainyard to the suggested maps to be removed

for the new maps, banana looks fine and the other ones will have to get tested to judge properly, just a screenshot is not enough

 

I would also like to add

• am_yard: https://gamebanana.com/maps/185346
• am_dd2_middle_dolnma: https://gamebanana.com/maps/187232

to the new maps and also remove

• am_multi_v6 (just another almost pure headglitch map)
• am_ramps_v6 (same as above, actually more cancerous than am_multi_v6)

from the current map pool.

 

I will not remove am_multi_v6, neither am_ramps_v6 since these are one of the most played maps. However am_yard looks like a decent addition, but I'm not sure about the d2 map, I need some more feedback on that map.

 

Together with @Dr.StaubSauger we've found some other good additions to the current mapcycle, that are:

ar_quickdraw: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=297426066

am_must2 (newer version of am_must2014): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=279708083

am_warehouse2: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=279702034

Please tell me your opinions on this.

Also to sum up for now I'd add the following maps to the current mappool:

• am_banana
• am_blacktop
• am_yard
• am_must2
• ar_quickdraw

And I'd leave out/delete from the current mappool:

• am_ene_v1
• am_bantz
• am_rob_a
• am_insyhouse
• am_sluice
• am_marble
• am_trainyard

PS: I can't add the d2 map due to lack of enough arenas for 32 players.

 

I've implemented/removed the maps from above.

Changes should take effect after the next mapchange.

Marking as implemented.
