[Maps] PR v0.9 Map Loading Backgrounds - Page 10

When another retro map pack is released you will be able to play OGT again.

I think it is a great map as well (very atmospheric and unique) but I've played it enough over the last 3 years.

I don't think a lack of hard drive space is an issue for many, however some do not have fast Internet connections or large bandwidth quotas. So it's always best to minimize the file size where possible, in this case separating old maps into an optional package to compensate for new maps and content.

Looks great.

We have to remove maps for a few reasons, the main one however being that we are limited to a 2GB installer, and we just can't fit them all in. I dunno if it's just me, but I'd rather new maps than old maps.

However, we plan on releasing a 2nd levels installer shortly after v0.9 with a lot of the old maps in them (not just the cut maps from v0.874, but even older maps), set up with the skirmish game mode (and maybe coop?). But it's not really the priority at the moment, so I can't really say anything more.

Indeed. You know that map inside out by know, same goes for most of the older maps that were taken out. Gameplay gets boring when you play the same old tactics over and over again... New maps are needed, and if that means that weäll have to say good bye to some of the old goodies... than so be it. It's worth it.
