Bring Back the Original Vikendi!

[Doctor Kannon]

The original Vikendi map was a lot of fun! The new map is not nearly as fun. In fact you could even says it's boring.

One town on the original Vikendi map, Volnova, was a stroke of genius -- it was essentially an open world CS Tuscan map with verticality. Stairways, alleys, terraces, and rooftops all enabled for very unique positioning.

Most everywhere else was fun. In Podvosto we could shoot each other across the river, Dobro Mesto had the keep and the market, Movatra and Peshkova were fairly out of the way, but they could get crazy.

The new map has none of these things. The ice of the frozen river was a challenge to drive on. That's gone now. The original castle was a hot drop. The new one is empty.

The addition of the train was interesting, and could sometimes be useful. But the gondolas and the polar bears don't really add much. I think these last two things don't have the impact that the game designers had hoped for.

Every time I play on Vikendi, I just wish it could be the original map.

no promises, but i will say three things

1. when they got rid of original sanhok, they brought it back and switched off for a bit

2. the vikendi secret cave on the old map was amazing. the first time someone showed it to me, it felt like i was a child again discovering something big and amazing in a video game. just the sense of discovery after ramming or blowing up a random-yet-very-specific part of the mountain to get inside was amazing

3. i love the bears. they are practical and i love anything that can kill us because it makes it that much more crazy and unpredictable than it already is
