Should the maps go into core patch 1?[ 58 votes ]
1.	The maps should go into core patch 1	45 / 78%
2.	The maps should be an optional download	13 / 22%

Blackhand Studios is hard at work on Core Patch 1.
Core patch 1 is going to include several new maps (as of now, they are going to be (C&C_Mutation,C&C_Siege,C&C_FieldTS,C&C_Snow,C&C_Gobi,C&C_Sand).
More maps will be added in the future.

However, some team members have suggested that we should make the map downloads optional to be more kind to dialup users.

The downside to this is that it would likely result in far less people downloading the maps (which then means server owners are less likely to run the maps and etc).

So,we want to find out what you, the Renegade Community think.
Post here in this poll if you think the maps should be optional downloads or included in core patch 1 itself.

Another thing to bear in mind is that optional downloads would require extra functionality in the downloader to let you select which, if any, to download which means the downloader thingo would take more time to code.

I personally think they should be in core patch 1 itself (some team members aggree with me, some dont). The results of this poll will determine what Blackhand Studios does on this issue.

If you say "put them into core patch 1", all maps will be downloaded as part of the core patches.
if you say "make them optional", then maps will be made optional and only fixes and such will be in the patches.
