I think certain sbox maps should be removed and ill explain why for each one (ill include links so people know which ones im talking about)
Freespace 13
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...=freespace
This map is ok inside the walls, but ask yourself, how many players go over the wall? From my experience id say maybe 10% do. aside from many players just not walking out of spawn its because its a dull grass land. There's maybe 2 areas that's worth going to outside of the walls. Compared to freespace 09 or Revolution which has train tracks and more buildings, 13 has one area with buildings enclosed in a wall and the rest is mostly grass.
Simply Train
(couldn't find link)
Its barren, small, and very generic. Many players also vote to leave the map within maybe 10 minutes of being on it. Sure it has train tracks, but that's the thing, that's the only interesting part of it. its like if bigcity had 1 tower. that's the good part of it, but its also the only good part.

Im at odds with this, on one hand its fun if everyone else is involved, on the other it doesn't have much that makes it worth playing for more than 30 min. I have had fun on this map but ive also had plenty of times where walking around on the map was more enjoyable than actually playing around on the map

I know, I know ive defended this map before and said it shouldn't be removed but I cant deny it also gets very boring. Its like reallybigmap, fun if many people are playing and doing things, but other times most people just wait for 10 min for someone to exit the spawn protection zone to kill them.

the skybox is wider than the actual map. sure the height is very high but it doesn't help that theres a giant plate in the sky that blocks off the rest of the remaining sky. theres not much else to say, since this map doesn't even have much to it.

this map is two giant doughnuts with water. you could say its good for flying around but its very limited because instead of having one level, theres two different levels that have a giant bit of land both sides. (in other words, if you fly below the top level, you have less height to fly around because the edges dont go past the doughnut, and if you fly on the top level, you don't have enough room to fly either since the ceiling isn't high enough.)
Those are all my reasons for why these should be removed. If you any maps that you think should be removed, feel free to say it.
