I am out of loop about the state of the game ever since I got bored of inf warfare (quite some time ago) so could anyone answer this for me please:

- Are TW planning to bring anything new to the game except a patch now and then? Like new tanks and other vehicles.

Well... We run possibly the only 24/7 server that is devoted to tank maps. We have two good ones right now. We'll have a third as soon as Arrad2 gets re-cooked. We've got a small but dedicated daily following. Might be a pleasant change of pace.

High quality Custom maps are being released nearly weekly anymore and each one brings its own special touch to the game. Just check the level design section if the RO2 forum and you will find numerous photos, screen shots, and videos of custom community made maps that are in development. TWI gave us a 9 min video 3 months ago for RS.
If you choose to sit and wait for spoon fed content and updates from TWI feel free, but you are missing out on the maps and content right under your nose.

Dont get me wrong I´ve play every single map I dont care who made them, in darkest hour and ost the best maps was made by the community, but people need time to improve them right now they all are beta style!
I think the maps made by twi looking better atm! You wouldnt compare mayayev with iwanberg would you?

Im part of the vehicle mod team so I know whats coming from the community and imo twi just open another construction site which will slow down things even more! I don´t say Halftracks will make the game better but they are needed just like more tanks. Think about it how ridicioulus it is, barashka for example, you run all the way to the front. Tank Battles with just to tanks? Its not only looking dumb. The product is far from finished so lets release another one, what kind of marketing strategy is this? And don´t get me wrong im not a hater, but slowly I became one I fear! I loved rost so much...

It's your opinion , but i have to disagree with the first part of your post. There are custom maps out there right now just as good as official maps, if not better. People are just o lazy to download and try them. I don't want to start an argument about all this.... we've gone over this gazillion times. I think we've beat the horse way too many times already.

I think there are some maps that are quality wise just a good if not even better then twi maps. Coldsteel or Winterwald are both really well polished maps full of eyecandy and I would put Coldsteel probably optic wise over most twi maps.

OK Thank You, even more reason to not hold your breath for the next trickle of content.

I wouldn't compare apples and oranges either so I don't think this is a good argument. Every map has its own style and playability. I enjoy both Mamyev and DerIwanBerg for vastly different reasons.

I enjoy them too but its obivious that mayayev looks much better than iwanberg or even winterwald! Lots of trees fly in the air at winterwald for example or you have problems to mantle your mg on some positions! Thats what I mean, I thank god for every custom map and every official one! Back to topic: I think HTs would give mapmakers much more possibillities!

I agree, my current favorite 3 maps are all customs and I love the experience I get by playing them.

Well...someone else said apples to oranges. Mamayev is probably 20 times larger than DerIwanBerg and has a completely different gameplay experience.

Yes. Winterwald has its bugs and faults but I still love it! You can't take that away from me!

On topic, I have decided to join the vehicle band wagon and so I am making a HUGE map. I hope that when I finish we will have some carriers.

While all the custom mappers have contributed to the community, danh has gone above and beyond with his tutorials and insight with level design.

Well...I still got help and inspiration in my early days from mappers such as Drecks and Six_Ten. I probably wouldn't be where I am now if I hadn't bothered Drecks so often.
