Why did they remove the one and only original HLL map and replaced it with, at best, SMDM-adjacent? Why not keep both since they are pretty much different maps?
On one hand we still don’t have half of the kickstarter goals in the game, half a year after the full release, but on the other hand you remove the most nostalgic map and waste dev time designing an inferior version. Me not understand why it was necessary
External link →The new SMDM has two issues:
- Town and brecourt manor are too closed off, but that's apparently going to be rectified in the future.
- The east side of the map strongpoints' are a bit worse than the central and western ones.
Otherwise I find it vastly superior to the old SMDM and it's a hill that I'm willing to die on.
Old SMDM had some atrocious strong points (Town Outskirts, Fields, Sunken Lane, Crossroads, Graveyard), the skewed layout caused a lot of problems. It was visually uninspired map filled with dated assets with the same rectangular field copy pasted multiple times.
It was quite fun for tanks, I will admit as much, but for infantry it was a pain a lot of times.
Areas will be reopened and Brecourt as well. The moment the update launched, 3 maps were made and added, meaning a lower amount of available time to polish all the individual gardens. But, no worries! Its known and will have a fix!
