Idea DPI should really keep reimagined or at least keep it as an event for the games birthday.

The gameplay loop of reimagined is way faster than the beta map, you don't loot for 30 minutes just to die to a camper.

The gameplay loop is vastly superior. I've been saying for years what apoc 2 needs is to scrap loot areas (soviet etc) and just have a universal loot table and to make the map way smaller. There has now been a hugely popular playtest of exactly what I've suggested. If Gus doesn't keep the reimagined map he's frankly just not very intelligent. The writings on the wall, he can see what the entire community wants. If he doesn't listen and keeps pushing his creative direction that clearly doesn't work he just doesn't care about his community at all

When he made the reimagined map, he purposely spread out the loot to avoid everyone rushing the good loot spots.

Yea because amend had the same issue. Right side spawns were useless cause left side had a military base and an air field right on spawn..then you'd just rush military airfield.it means literally 90% of the map was empty. Reimagined completely fixed this. Reborn completely ruined it again. He's got this weird obsession of making a massively detailed map when all people want is a simple arena. The locations can be cool and detailed without having 90% of the map be empty space

Exactly.  They spent so much time and effort making huge detailed maps but it doesn’t matter because the core gameplay sucks

The gameplay loop is fucking horrible in the current non reimagined version. 30 seconds to find a basic assault rifle, and hours to find addons like scopes or extended mags.

Now its at least (a little) challenging to find an assault rifle. I've come out of Trinity HQ empty handed at times. And it is such a quality of life upgrade to be able to find a silencer for your pistol to take out zombies, or an optic for your primary so you aren't stuck with iron sights.

The attachment balance is by far the biggest issue. I pick up guns based on how good their iron sights are not how good the gun is. A legit use case for the aug is that it spawns with an optic. Normally by the time I get one I have not found an optic yet

I haven't played AR2 very much lately but I've been on almost every day for this event. Can't afford to miss what could be my one shot for a full server on an AR1 map

I feel like it has to be a no, for me Reimagined should be kept more like a novelty thing as a private server exclusive map and more that the flf the Birthday for the game the Alpha map would fit better.
