Nothing wrong with a few maps where you can give yourself a challenge, I used to enjoy hosting these. They are more for fun games than competitive games obviously, but I hated the Ironing Board, Steppes Inland type maps though, they were just sheer boredom. I think that's why Totomi is remembered so fondly, because of the subtle advantages that could be gained.
I loved to see realistic situations so I think there should always be the possibility to set up an ambush in trees etc and the ability for tactical manoeuvre.
Pet hate..........damned redzone.
