We are not saying we don’t care about people liking old dotf, or that we know better what people should play, or that the new dotf is better just because we say so.
What Mace has been trying to explain is that the old dotf was removed to give the new dotf a chance to be played by a lot of people and thus giving him feedback to improve it in ways that we couldn’t do within the limits of beta.
And we all know that mb2 is a game of habit so if old dotf was around we believe that would have severely sabotaged the new map’s chances.
I was also the first person wanting the catwalk back before the map was ever released (Mace can attest to how many times I bugged him) but I am more than willing to play without it in order to have a map as beautiful as dotfv2 in the mb2 roster.
So we’re asking you to give new dotf a chance to settle first and if you still want dotf_classic after a few months when the new map has already had its improvements and changes we can look into adding it.
For those that can’t wait, dotf_classic is already hosted unofficially on one of the community servers (MB2 [CLASSIC]), you can download it and play it there.
// Edit: hell, maybe the classic version should be the pre-balcony one
