Since the beta's now open, I decided to test things... and indeed, they're still broken.
I didn't really expect to see any changes, honestly, but I thought I'd point out that as of just a few minutes ago, indeed, the outdoors maps in the Mission Creator:
1) aren't showing up right in the preview, either zoomed out and placed in the upper left, or just plain not there at all.
2) there spawns are set in areas outside the actual map, which will make missions impossible to complete in certain cases.
3) same spawns are shown *and used* for wildly different maps that shouldn't fit them.
4) The question marks.. you guys/gals do know those little dots are question marks, right?... aren't sized where you can see them.
5) The back/middle/front locations... aren't... even if the spawns match the map. You cannot reliably place something in the back or middle to fight to.
And 6) there's no map preview zooming for any of the maps.
Lastly, 7) The colorations of the white spawns blend in with some map colors such as Atlas. Kinda hard to see where your potential spawn might be... although as per 5), it really doesn't matter does it? Just one of those things...
Just in case anyone wanted to know. Slightly disappointing, but again, didn't really expect this to change for I17. Perhaps I18? I have an epic story that's wasting away due to this tragedy of brokenness. Y'all are missing out.
But, Dual Pistols are pretty happening, I have no complaints about those. When do the Demons show up?
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
