Saw a video (part of it) by Adrian Chong playing on one of the missing maps in the âtest serverâ, and also have seen people claim they are still available on Steam (PC).

Iâve seen arguments they are taken off line for putting teleportation devices in them, and also a thread here exists claiming a map was removed due to The Scorpion dominating the moon map.

The limited number of maps available on iOS is driving me insane, I want to experience the old ones too, andI canât see a valid reason for why you canât have the ones being updated still in the mix in their old form, while using the modified versions elsewhere, and just switch them out when completed.

And if it really is just a scorpion problem, or a problem with any one bot in someoneâs lineup- just donât let players with that bot in a hanger access to said map. If you can play The Scorpion, then matchmaking shouldnât give them moon access- if that is the actual reason they removed it.

The lack of maps is maddening. I get 6/7 years ago there was a lack of maps but I own games like Rome Total War using way more storage than this game uses on my phone and they have been out for a while. We should have the old ones and new ones. I once tried to teach myself video game design off steam and made a leprechaun poop a brick, he would stand, squat, and poop. It doesnât seem hard to me to design a map. I canât code worth a damn but made the lucky charms guy a brick mason. So what is the hold up? Did all of Pixonicâs paying customers demand more maps so in response Pixonic removed some to teach everyone a lesson? Are they doing a permanent rotation rotation so it always feels to new players new maps are coming to look forward to?

Iâm more worried that they arenât investing in the server space anymore. I hear they are working on new games- which is fine, but should be on separate servers. If they are using the servers dedicated to War Robots for that project, then it would explain the combination of lag and missing mapsâ¦. but even then how much space could a few extra maps take up for X number of games of the same X number of games are being played on a server running fewer styles of maps? It seems minuscule to me once they are loaded up.

Just bring the 「fluffernutter」ing maps back.

The beloved missing maps may or may not return, but TS is a good indicator that one or more will.

Pix has told us that patch drop 7.1 should have at least 1 “remastered” old map back to us.

Tele pods seem to be a direction the game is heading......who knows.......

Good to see Dreadnaught may be coming back soon.....like that map except the targeting crap when inside and reds on the roof.....adapt, improvise, overcome!

Few maps are still a work in progress since the priority to bring them back is far less than the new releases to Pix.
Having said that the old maps should be back before the end of this year IMO. The almost complete maps are showing up in Test Server occasionally, which means they have completed a good portion of it.

Server issue is something difficult to be answered since it does cost a lot of money build a setup and to maintain them which manage real time gaming of this speed. Pretty difficult to assess them from user point when the game is diminishing day by day. Will they really invest a lot right now in this game to build a new infrastructure? Maybe if they are see opportunities to reuse them even if this game mess up.

Makes you wonder if there are people behind the scenes having their ears chewed off with the "failed" release of remastered.

All the maps were working fine before but possibly(?) due to a rushed release of remastered we have maps pulled for whatever reason.... I heard it's because they tried to grow grass on the moon but realised it was too hard to do.
