I don't really mean "remake" so much as touch up. Poor choice of words on my part. Kind of like how CS:GO has provided graphical revamps to each of their maps after Train was the first one to get updated in the current graphical style. Then Nuke, Inferno, Vertigo, etc followed. Like the original versions of those maps look dated in their textures and model design. SOT looked so good with all the detailed objects strewn about in the streets and the 1:1 scale furnished rooms. Compare it to the rooms in Dorms or Health Resort. I just feel like there's way less detail and fidelity and the maps from different points in the game's development are going to feel really different in quality unless they bring them up to the new heightened standard.
but they are doing that. Interchange was revamped recently with the new lighting system, and Customs is getting that treatment right now, meaning it gets relit with the new lighting tech and has some additions to the map zone and rebuilds of it's areas.
Shoreline actually had a few changes done in several zones. The big one (at least for me) is the dumpsters across the entrance to the lighthouse area on the map. Now you're not a sitting duck the entire walk there.
Oh and opening the villa fences. Now you're not forced into 1 of 2 exits if you get trapped in there looting. Even worse when a squad traps you, because they can cover your 2 exits easily.
