The only problem is that maps are:
1. Labor intensive on the staff.
2. Time-consuming.
3. Needing space to fit a semi-trailer through each corridor to not out-space teams during teamplay.
I'd love to see some new maps for regular missions, specifically an indoor Shopping Mall map (imagine all the easter eggs War Witch could hide in there), a convention center, and maybe a large cathedral ala Notre Dame (no, this isn't a request for the CoP trial, just a map).
For outdoors I'd love to see an Amusement Park (or abandoned Amusement Park in the Rogue Isles) and a sports stadium or two. A city the size of Paragon has to have professional football, baseball, hockey and basketball teams, right? Of course basketball and hockey arenas would be indoor maps, but I could live with football and baseball stadiums. Another suggestion for an outdoor map - a golf course.
I know new maps are a ton of work, but getting new missions to run in the same old maps kind of makes the new missions seem same-old-same-old.

Oh god, yes, I would love a convention center, especially to be able to make the ParaCon (Paragon City's Number 1 Anime, Manga, Comics, and Cartoons convention) MA arc.

In this thread, we ask for new types of map tilesets in missions and for MA.
To begin with, this one is long overdue: Nemesis Base set! I was pretty annoyed when I did the Eternal Nemesis Arc and I was fighting Nemesis, in their turf, in a tech lab that looks far from steampunk! It was an outrage.
Next, Malta/Knives of Artemis bases, something more like the Malta base in Warburg Map. (I've only seen it through MA) A cross between the tech and warehouse, and docks for Malta Titans.
Also, maybe some Tsoo map sets, maybe some that look like martial arts studios where they train their men with tattoo parlors in the back.
In In a more general sense, perhaps another type of night/dance club map that's not just recycled from the warehouse. Industrial chic is not the peak of trendiness.
Also, maybe some hotel/apartment styled mapsets?
This is far from a pressing suggestion, but it would be nice to see in the future.
Feel free to add your own ideas for new map tile sets here and maybe someday the Devs will deliver these wonders to us.
