[2020] Why doesn’t Triterion let players submit maps and if they’re good enough make them official? Similar to CSGO

First of all I would just like to say that I absolutely love this game. But if there’s one thing that I think is lacking it is the number and variety of maps. Now I understand why this is, the fact that such A small Dev team could make Mordhau in the first place is absolutely amazing; and I know asking them for more maps and stuff is pointless as they’re already so busy. this got me thinking, and made me wonder why they don’t treat maps like valve does in CSGO- where players will make a map and if it’s good enough valve will accept it and make it official. This would take stress off the Dev team and make community interaction more purposeful. I can’t have been the first person to think of this, so is there a reason why this is not happening already?

This is probably something that will end up happening in some form or another once the Official SDK is out. But, to answer your question about it not happening already:

While some GREAT maps exist, I can only think of 1 or 2 Frontline/Invasion maps. And those are riddled with various problems.

Optimization on modded maps isn't something most modders are capable of solving on their own. And the Devs can't exactly ship unpolished/buggy/low fps maps to the base game.

And while some members of our community are long-time modders, anything they made that was deemed "worthy" of being put into the game would still need plenty of hours of work by the Devs to make "game ready"

As well as a host of other issues relating to the non-Mordhau Assets that modders use. Like, when someone gives their stuff away for Non-profit use. The Devs adding them directly into the game could bring about legal trouble.

All in all, I think the Auto-Download system we have works well enough for our current needs, and could be greatly improved by a robust set of tools in the Server Browser.

I'll leave a Mordhau Modding Discord Link here in case anyone would like to help make some content for the game :)

pretty much this completely
