Maps are an annoyance to say the least, which is a pain as I do like the game itself, and the balance seems to be an improvement with this patch. That you pretty much cannot play on anything other than Finland for larger team games unless you have a full set of people with the map pack online is pretty crap and I do so hate that map.. Is even more annoying that you can't lock games if you want to do a 3v3 on it.
The thing is I'd be not even remotely bothered about paying for DLC for new maps as long as I'd be able to actually get games on them (this is ofc a big if, as other people might just not be willing to pay for the maps, so hence it being another unplayable option), it just is frustrating that they're just not there and all there is, is Finland.
Maybe easiest scenario for CA would be to flatten out some of the more obtuse hills in the 1v1 maps and make them playable for team games? As long as we get something (and soon) I don't mind. Part of me doesn't want a grassy flatland though, got so sick of practically every single game in RTW/BI being on that barren featureless wasteland due to it being the only really fair map (though it probably is needed for tourney decider games, probably best left in a pack). Though it'd be an awful lot better than Finland.
