I find it really disappointing to come to a conclusion (which I do), that default (vanilla) maps are so much better, than those, that come with the mod in terms of ballanced and entertaining game-play!  :-\
So, I feel, I need your opinion: what EF map do you, people, really like over the vanilla ones, and why?
I gotta agree with you here, so far i haven't seen a single EF map that I really liked. Most of them are either too bland, too cluttered or horribly imbalanced, some all of the aforementioned. What I really thoroughly hated was Kursk because the clutter made pathing a nightmare and the sector layout was the worst I have ever seen(Only 1 med fuel and 1 low fuel -> Have these and the game is over).
Berlin I personally find also to cluttered and most importantly, far to dark. I also think city maps just don't really lend themselves to CoH. Villages and Hamlets work great, but city maps, I just don't know(because of pathing issues,chokepoints).

Maybe you guys should take a look at the vCoH mapping community and GR.orgs mapping contests, there's quite a few excellent maps that haven't been adopted. Maybe the makers of these maps would make slight adjustments or renamings for some of these maps to fit the eastern front-tone, if they even need to. I also recall 1 Berlin map which I quite liked, it was Götterdämmerung by Henry666 which was a 3vs3 map, played it in pre-OF days.

Well, there is still plenty of potential maps on the outside, it would just require asking for maps.

As far as deleting maps people never play on, I have no problem with that, but it would need to be put to a vote Also, maps that are quite badly designed but set on famous historic battlefields, like Kursk, should be redesigned at some point or scrapped and remade. Somebody needs to do them justice.

Like Sevastopol :'(... If you appear on the bottom-right corner, it's difficult to use vehicles.

Now Moscow is an interesting map. It's most unique in how it has only 1 of each of the 3 different points for each side, and the middle is no territory at all! It makes it particularly hard for the Brits in Victory Point games, since they are very limited in the amount of room they have to build emplacements. I wonder if we'll see any more maps like it in the future...
