There are very few maps that are actually playable with a reasonable amount of players (10 - 24), good looking and remotely balanced. Here's a few of which we used to play in I-CW and on which we had some awesome games:
* snow
* bunkersTS
* bio
* glacierTS
* siege
* meadow
* night0x
* Dusk
* city2 flying
* mesa2 and hourglass2
* creekdale flying
* big walls
* tobruk
* Fortress2k4
* Gobi (DM)
* Sand (DM)
* Tiberium Pit 3
* Mutation Redux (for the harvs!)
* Lunar Landing
* Mars

I probably forgot a couple, but it's been a while...

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Glacier is a weird map.

When I had my original 2002 computer with integrated graphics, 256mb of ram, and a 1.8Ghz P4 processor... I had absolutely no trouble playing on glacier and glacier flying. It was my favorite map.

However, after I started to upgrade my computer with dedicated GPUs and other such upgrades, my performance on that map started to decline. It still, to this day, is very laggy for me to play on. Every time someone, anyone, anywhere on the map fires their gun, my game freezes for a short second. It went from my favorite to most dreaded map in Renegade.

Hangman's Canyon was one of my favourite fan maps - it's simple with a couple chokepoints, good size for any playercount, etc. Most fan maps don't cater towards small playercounts.

I've always hated Hangman's - it's too big while simultaneously looking terrible. It's always had its share of balance problems. I played it on the old WOLF servers from 2002-2003 and hated having to sit through entire matches of it.

Regarding non-flying Glacier/TS, it should not give you any framerate problems. Those come from the Repair Facility's broken logic which is fixed in 4.0.

I can state as a coder that 4.0 is NOT ready for full public release yet, we have bugs we need to fix. The rste of new bug reports is down from what it was and I for one am doing everything I can to fix the bugs I am able to fix. I want this released as much as everyone else does but releasing with known major bugs is bad.

No one person is to blame for the delays, this stuff takes time and the TT coders have jobs/school/real life things that take priority over TT.
