I disagree with a few points, and agree with other points.
1. I agree that AC does not catch all macro usages, and I have been playing a lot lately, (not only on main account), and I must say for sure I did not see any cheater, only macro is possible, and we will do our best to catch them, but we need 100% proof, otherwise there is a chance of banning an innocent guy, which is much worse if it happens.
Of course I do not agree with the community on bg checks if they think zibi or ketchup has no recoil, I watched them play, but I also watched people play 3 years ago, their recoil is WORSE than those top players back then. The problem is that most people nowadays play so much the same maps (which is also #2), that they are not used to the game as a whole anymore, do not know every single possibility anymore and they blame other things for it. Hardly any player nowadays can play decent on a long range map with m16 guns, but if somebody shoots them across the map on urban they find it unbeleivable.
#2. Yes that is a big issue, more maps should be played if we want to attract more players. All the time urban, bridge, pipe and hospital in EU gets boring pretty quickly. I would love to play some oldschool m16 distance maps.
#3, this is indeed correct, we haven't done many polls lately
#4, This goes hand in hand with the original goal of this project. We don't want to create a new game, we want to keep the old game alive. If we change the core of this army game with all kind of fancy stuff, it is not the same anymore. Something small as different spawns can completely destroy the balance there is currently. I also see no issue in the spawnpoints, I think this actually makes the game more tactical, making spawns more random will make competition less fun as well. The only reason SF extraction was never really played in leagues was because there was an imbalanced spawnpoint.
The problem is not in the spawnpoints of the map, the problem is in the fact that people only play the same map all day long.
