Architect Edition - Rushed and Lame?

and no Cimerora listed either... Blah.

Do you expect alternate dimensions to be on the map, as well?
(I agree, I wish they had updated the map, but let's not be silly!)

With the way it is, if they had changed the game client, they would of changed it for EVERYONE, not just the AE package folks, as the client is identical for everyone.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Seeing how this was a box edition that was meant to give shelf presence to attract new customers whom would not have the other boxes, maps, etc., I think that the Architect Edition was just fine.
I was not an expansion that was meant to be purchased by current players.
The fact that it's missing all the glamorous glitz and bells and whistles shows how hard they were working on the actual product itself, instead of the packaging it comes in.
Pretty sure the map has always shown the original names of the Hazard zones, since the very first CoH box.

Actually, when those original packaging materials were produced, they would have been printed in lots of thousands. The most likely reason you received the same packaging is because they're still using up the old stock (rather than be wasteful by throwing it in the bin). It's a tradeoff, where the realization is that new players wouldn't have encountered that packaging before.

The question about the map has come up before, and I'm pretty sure the consensus was that, the map from the AE Edition and the GvsE Edition are different.
I'm currently at work and can't check.
EDIT: Thanks IronYeti
So I bought the Architect Edition. mainly so when I reformat soon and in the future, I don't have to download a lot of Issues.
So I noticed, the packaging and install itself is a little... blah. The main install screen is rather dazzleless. It lacks style and the images they show during install, are the exact same from the Good VS Evil pack. Not that it's an issue, it's just... why not something flashier?
Other facts are why is the packaging so lame. It comes with a map but why is it the same as I got with Good VS Evil? Why not updated. There is no Venice.. White Plains.. Overbrook... they have all been renamed so it's a bit pathetic, and no Cimerora listed either... Blah.
Not only that bu the box has a few typos on it. One I am looking at now is "Interent connection required"
Dunno what an Interent is...
Am I the only one that got what seems like a lame, rushed version or is this the standard for the "OMG Architect Edition"
