I was never a fan of 'Berlin' - the map
.
Sure it was played alot, but nothing special - Just my opinion.

Berlin was a good urban map, had some serious spawncamping issues. But it didn't really greatly resemble Berlin.
Konigsplatz is a better interpretation.
This is why RO get's bad reviews. Historical Accuracy should not come over fun. Realism and historical accuracy don't have to go together hand in hand.
Well were assuming they replaced mod berlin with the new version when they are completely different maps that just happen to take place in the same city. The mod version of Berlin was made very early on when the Devs were still learning the tools. Why would they go and remake a map that was done at a time when the skill level was much lower. Also froma artist prespective I cant imagin its very much fun for a mapper to just recreate the same map over and over and over. It would be much more entertaining to make something new. You also would have had a large people when ROOST was released if it was just all mod maps. People would question buying a game when all the maps in it are avaible for free in the mod. So they had to create new maps inorder to attract new people into the game. There wouldnt have been time to recreate all the mod maps and then add in a bunch of new maps.
Also even if you dont like historical accuracy doesnt mean there arent other out there that do. I remember how much everyone loved that map when ROOST was released, not is overplayed and people dont like it as much but at the time it was considered to be one of the best maps in ROOST. Atleast one of the most interesting to play.
atm from the official maps the only not remade mod maps in there are Odessa, Koningsplatz, Rakowice and Lyeskrovy.
Remakes or maps based on the mod maps are:
Arad, Baksan valley, Barashka, basovka, bondarevo, Danzig, Hedgehog, Kaukasus, Krasnyi Oktyabr, Ogledow, Stalingrad Kessel
And personally after playing Koningsplatz 2 times in roost i hated it already, its realistic yes. But it feels so open no chance to flank or whatever because the enemy will spot you miles away. its just a map about rushing into the objectives. Or staying behind sniping people that try to get in objectives. :X
Why not? I liked it, although the Reichstag or whatever that objective was supposed to represent didn
the whole mod mood was depressing, it was gritty and it rocked
