    I just find it a shame that so many good community maps will be "wasted" by Valve not doing anything. It wouldn't be too hard to just extend the operation if they know the other isn't ready yet. Or just do it like Vanguard and add some extra missions or maps to the operation as a "second phase".


    But what really annoys me is the lack of attention towards the small, easy to fix bugs. Bomb stuck spots being there for months, stairs not being properly clipped on Reserve Duty maps. it's not witchcraft to fix these rather small bugs in between. I am pretty sure everyone with a bit of experience in Hammer could fix dozens of these small things that in one or two days and it would show the community that they actually care.

    Maybe the next winter update will be the biggest update ever with Operation "Endless(ly wait on) 8", new UI, tons of fixes,etc.


    Also, JFK will magically get revived and be the 45th president of the US again.

    That would be cool. They could go one map at a time, first "The Aztec Competition" then "The Dust Competition", etc.

    There was a post on reddit a month ago that advocated a change in the mappools:

    If they could do this and just focus on fixing and balancing their own maps and modes for a year, I would be very happy. It's not even that hard to just clip all the stairs in the Reserve Duty maps, for example. Or just hiring one or two Mapcorians for a limited time to try and get a more balanced versions of their neglected maps.. or updating the textures similar to what FMPOne did with Cache.

    The way I see it, Overwatch is mainly such a huge competition for CS despite its mechnical difference because Blizzard's communication and update policies seem a lot better to huge amounts of people. And sadly, Valve has shown with its recent updates for TF2 that they just cannot compete right now. This community has lots of talented mapmakers, people very dedicated to weapon balancing (SlothSquadron), people who spend months on researching crazy small details of the game like 3kliksphilipps - if Valve would utilize these community ressources more the game could be a lot better than it already is. The only thing holding them back from fixing a lot of the rather easy stuff is honestly their company-intern approach.

    At least they fixed some stuff on D2 and Train. But really, i wonder when they will revisit all the clipping of reserve maps, etc. as well. we need a few big updates focussed on fixing all the small little details that improve the overall quality of the game.

    Other than that, glove skins are far better than limited use paid sprays.
