Another post about some guy trying to start a topic about every new update.
With the title said, how do you think the new guns/skins will affect maps. Do you think current maps will add these new guns and skins or do you think newer maps will be made with these updates and rise to the top.
I think this update will be different then how the combat rifle and starfire update played out. Since those 2 weren't major updates, current popular maps either added those updates or simply ignored it. If your maps don't have these new guns, skins and decors then I think your maps won't be as popular considering how major this update might be. I wouldn't be surprised if map makers are making maps ahead of time so when the new update comes out, they have places to add on this new update.
However with this being said, not all guns will have same treatment, I believe some guns like the laser rifle heater will be used a lot more then the little bastard. In other cases, the new guns will replace old guns currently in pb2. The RPG is likely to replace the rocket launcher CS for an example (considering that maps will be updated). Lastly, there will probably be maps with only one type of gun which will be one of the new guns in the game.
The decors are likely to make an impact on how maps look. I am sure the machine decor will be used a lot as new maps are made. The lamp decor is definitely going to be used more than the actual lamp based on how.
But tell me what you think; to sum it up quick, I think the new update will make newer maps have a chance of replacing older more famous maps.
