Honest take but maps like night market, castle, festival/new greece keeps being voted back in and then voted out nobody really wants to play these.

Ankara should honestly just be swapped with ankara 3.0 and imo when a map gets a updated variant like ankara it should be swapped with current one to atleast get people to play the map and if people dont want it just vote it out when next season ends.

Did forget to mention its a shame we dont get small competitive map updates / changes like china is getting: example new suzhou B long doors are metal.

Night market has to go. Everyone I speak to hates the map and don't know how it keeps ending back in the pool.

The mine is a super underrated map and a all time classic, Refinery is a pretty flushed out map and has elements (like the boost in mid) that add a extra skill gap. Would also be nice to see a more updated sub base to throw a wrench into things.

Swap out port for 2.0 port.. we are not in 2011 anymore majority of 2.0 maps are 20 times better for ranked / competitive vs their 1.0 counter parts

That comment on the top is right, people who like to sleep in sniper zoom massively voting festival, when other voices just split in other maps, so festival wins. And then next season it will be downvoted, because all other players just want to play with other guns. Remove this mess from voting system entirely

Remove maps that encourage players to wait in base for 2 minutes.
Ankara is a joke at the moment, i literally spent 2 minutes waiting for them to come out of the base in 50% of the rounds when i'm GR.

I really hope that in the next update we get a new weapon ban system that actually lets us ban the annoying meta guns like the G36 and other relevant weapons, instead of banning guns that nobody uses, like the Thompson, Kriss super v, or M60.

In my opinion Refinery should always be in the pool - overall nicely balanced map, unlike any variant of Mexico. Festival can also work however ppl will whine about people playing m200/kar. But that is the same as BW i think. There are ways to work around it - utility... Let's hope they dont change the pool drastically like they tend to do. But mexico needs to go.

Why mexico is still in map pool ? Why vote than ?
