For one, how many map creators will actually take the time to properly set up the AI markers/beacons? Those are important for a map to play properly in skirmish, especially with the more intelligent AIs that sorian and giskard are developing (and have already released versions of in the Mods forum).

As for the shield exploit: I wish it was possible to have shielded air units in a non-bugged (and thus balanced) way.

As for nerfing the Broadsword and Cerberus, was this really necessary? We’re talking about the two non-Aeon factions here. They need all the help they can get :-P" I wouldn't really consider these two bug fixes a nerf... The broadsword had one weapon that was doing 56 more DPS than the other identical weapon, clearly a bug, and this put that in line. It was a correction to the earlier broadsword nerf. And the Cerberus only had its veterancy damage bonus nerfed. I've never seen one of my Cerberuses (Cerburi?) get the 30 kills required to get that bonus anyway, except when my opponent is throwing such weak stuff at me that I don't even need the bonus! So really its just fixing the bugs of past nerfs, not new nerfs. “he shield exploit obviously needed to be fixed (now if only they’ll fix the pause/upgrade/duplication exploit).

What if it ends up like it did in Spring. You'll have 10,000 maps. About 100 of those will be good. The rest are broken or just plain rubbish. So you impliment a rating system ala the replays. Then all the noobs vote all the dull, defensive choke point and/or metal maps into the top 10. All the genuinely well balanced and good stuff gets lost in the vault. End result is people host the same 3 or 4 maps and variety goes out the window. I have a sick feeling in my stomach when I hear about this 3rd party map idea.

That post makes me feel sorry for them. Whoever came up with the world map idea… That post makes me feel sorry for them.
