I think that all remakes should have other names... can you explain why this name change?
Best of all, those new and/or modified maps will level the playing field as the veterans spend time to study the environment.

Fact: The old maps were ugly (not gonna budge on this one.)
Fact: The new maps are flashy and quite playable.
Fact: The new maps will temporarily lower the skill threshold as vets relearn the intricacies of game play.
Hypothesis: Vets, such as Geoffrey, only want to keep the ugly old maps because they've wasted ridiculous amounts of time studying the details to gain an edge over newbies.
Fact: Newbies leave if the skill threshold is too high.
Fact: Newbies also leave if they think the game maps are ugly.
Fact: Most vets aren't going to leave because of a few flashy new maps. They'll just complain (which is normal.)
Fact: We want as few people to leave as possible.
Conclusion: The flashy new maps help the game more than the ugly old maps.It makes me angry that veterans are willing to hold back the progress of the game for selfish reasons. Knock it off and learn to play a new map already.
Elephant Hunter, Where did you get these facts from? No offence, but they seem very, very biased.
I didn't post any "facts" I posted my own opinions.Get where I'm coming from? It just seems like these facts that you've generated were from your own mind.

You didn't cite a single source in anything you wrote. Funny that I can make the same argument. Although seriously... seems like a rather weak attack, so additionally I'm just going to point out that you fit the "Veteran who's angry with game play changes" profile. Sorry if I offended you. Just pointing out your hypocrisy and selfish bias.
They look great. It was much needed and long awaited. New players will see that Soldat isn't all about looking like wannabe-retro junk. Best of all, those new and/or modified maps will level the playing field as the veterans spend time to study the environment.
Also, Guardian should have a bugfix too with the bridge, you always jump a little after falling on it and that's very annoying.
