The pattern you will notice when comparing old maps with new ones: -new maps tend to be way more flat and with less terrain elevation differences. -new maps are way less open with all different kind of stuff (mostly strange looking rocks) preventing long range combat. Personally I prefer the old maps. I like mountains, terrain and open maps :P
Some of the old maps could be decent in today’s version. I do find that Blitz needs more maps. Games are “blitz” style, so when playing you generally see a big portion of the maps. It starts to feel a bit stale playing on the same maps.
I remember the very first version of desert sands when I was playing all those years ago. One thing that isn't really easy to see for all you newcomers is the fact that on the right side of the map, there was a massive almost vertical hill, and will alot of skill/luck, you could get up there and almost every time there was at least 1 person who went up there. Now this spot wasn't just high, it was like 4 times higher than the rest of the map. It was an easy sniping spot. The problem was however, was that once you got there, if there was anyone going desert, they would see you as soon as you got up there and then you would die instantly. also, this video fails to mention some other versions of maps. but in this instance this map. Wargaming kept accidentally making these amazing camping spots on this map for years until they finally patched them all
Forgot about it when at the time, but I should have added some footage of the sniping spots on Desert sands. The versions of the maps I missed that you are talking about are just when they did not have barriers? (Like Port Bay)
Bushka has a video on the ISU...getting it high high high up, ridiculously high.... I saw his video, soon after getting my ISU.....then went into practice room, and for the life of me could not find that dang spot.......lol...yeah I was a noob On dead rail, there was a high sniping spot around area 4 that had been removed......sk8t showed it in his video ...him using a Pz. Sfl. toaster TD Never found that spot accessible, either
It seems like blitz did the opposite of the PC version. Instead of making all the new maps hull-down meta, they instead made the maps much more flat so its more fair for everyone else.
I know im late here but wg made a lot of maps flatter for newer players to handle their tanks easier making it easier to expose weakspots and stuff i actually love the old maps more cuz u kinda actually like go up in a ridge in a angle or poke quickly to shoot someone unlike today that there will just be a random kran sitting in a hill wotb nowadays is just like too easy and wg is the worst at balancing tanks
i miss these i dont even play the game much anymore, i just log on to see whats happening and exit out…this game feels off now, its so simular yet so different. idk if i will ever play it like i used to.
Lost temple and Mirage are being reworked indefinately, so they may or may not comeback. They are fixing the maps inorder to make them more balanced and suited for tier 10.
Mirage really brings me to the days when I still played the low tiers, those days were really hard to earn new tanks which made me feeling so happy when gradually bought a new one. Ah, good old days 😔😢
Been playing since release. My first battle ever was on original Rockfield. What a bizarre map it was back then. I remember the days of the crazy sniper hills you could only get to by tricky climbs. There used to be one on the far med corner of Oasis Palms. I remember climbing that thing in my T-18 and lobbing derp shells across the map. Ah, the nostalgia. Desert Sands also used to have some tall sniper hills by the rails where TDs go now. You'd have great shots, but if you got spotted you were toast. I miss the days when you couldn't camp and cap out on Mines. If anyone thinks maps are too corridor-style these days, you should have seen old Winter Malinovka. XD Wish we still had Lost Temple. It was a beautiful map, especially in its last iteration. Some of these maps don't seem like they changed that much when they got updated, like Dead Rail and Copperfield. Others are completely different Overall, I'm happy with the maps we have now. I think they're balanced better and make for more interesting gameplay. But I do miss certain things. And the nostalgia hits like a truck.
Black Goldvile's first iteration was different to the map we currently have. It used to have no junkyard, and the elevation different was much greater.
bro I've even forget Mirage ever existed, that's how long it is since they removed it... I do remember Lost Temple tho... and now that they are doing the PBR maps it would be a perfect opportunity to bring those two back again, in a new look... especially Lost Temple would be interesting to see again, esp If you consider they are gonna add japanese heavies soon
@@ShadowStriker-l4s oh ok... a new map called lagoon? If I remember correctly I heard smth about it ages ago but dont have any idea If it was developed enough or its still work in progress... and honestly, when it comes to maps, we dont really need new maps - we need old or forgotten or removed maps to come back in PBR.... imagine seeing Lost Temple in PBR with that dragon spitting flames as it flies overhead
Blitz is kind of boring unless you get some sort of new tanks but playing with the same map everytime will only bring a big shitton of boredom also the Ghost factor ain't good either
also of note but wasn't included but I remember is there was also another version of oasis palms between that version and the most recent one that was quite different from both of them
Yes the version you are talking about is very similar to the current Oasis palms, the difference was the town was actually the low ground, while the dunes were elevated.
Lost temple and mirage are gonne battle fields thats why i search and watch this because i notice that the first who gone is mirage because i thought its for low tiers next lost temple thats why i search this
These old maps do be hitting strong, as a veteran of WoTB, I strongly miss those old maps. 😢
Me too the old lost temple

I already miss mirage 😓

:(
wish these maps would be only available in training rooms
Great idea. Maybe we should mod the game a little to add them back
Man I’d’ve liked to play blitz back when they had the old music
Ye, then the music sounds like tankisch music. nowadays it sounds like some kids playing instruments
I suppose it fits the playerbase more then
the old music was WAYY better.
It was god like hearing the old music now the new music is just boring and repetitive. Theres nothing creative about it
So much nostalgia was my go to childhood game 🥲
Edit: Old wotb music probably one of the best up there w Minecraft
These old soundtracks brought me right back to being 15 years old
I loved the old Castilla track

until 1-2 months ago I noticed one map was missing, I just learned even more said goodbye
what map?
@@twoegg11 I just noticed that some of maps were missing cuz I just play many times in all maps except for these tho
I also miss when premiums felt more like a normal tank and to the unlearned were just some teck tree that you don't really know
I hope they add back mirage and lost temple soon
Yes, but it looks like they won't add it in the upcoming updates till 8.5
They will, it said they are reworking them
i think they will add pbr map on those two maps alongside 9.0
Well its 10.3 and no sign of it , they scammed us
Probably they have forgotten about them 😢. No sign of them
As a guy who hasn't played the game since 5 years this really hits hard
I really miss 2 Rockfield, Copperfield 1 and mines 1... A lot of memories
Playing lost Temple in a chill room was so nostalgic…
Lost Temple and Mirage are so much better than Faust and Ghost Factory smh😭 rip my childhood
0:44 I remember being the last person alive (1v1 situation) winning the match in my Tier 5 Churchill 1 against a Tier 8 Ferdinand. Good times.
I thought it was only +2 -2 mm as i remember, never fought a +3 , but dam thats cool
@@amberiscrowyou could have +3 if you were in a platoon with someone higher
You can’t tell me you don’t miss old rock field theme.
My favourite old theme is the Castilla one
If your interested, I’ve started making nostalgic content and footage I can grab from the internet.
It seems like blitz did the opposite of the PC version. Instead of making all the new maps hull-down meta, they instead made the maps much more flat so its more fair for everyone else.
Bring back old desert music 😢.
these old maps looked more realistic for a World War related game
Wotb today feels like a game for toddlers
Yep maps like Faust and New bay are just stupid...
Dude rockfield and lost temple were some of my favourite maps back then
broooo Lost Temple was my favourite map
old versions of the current maps looks better not gonna lie
lost temple hitting with nostalgia i played on that map

not just the maps, but the old soundtrack
Epic
Every our pain…. MIRAGE WE WANT YOU!!!
is it just me or did the maps seem bigger, the older maps?
The maps definitetly seem bigger, but I think it is because they had larger elevation differences.
@@skeletalchild8011 interesting
@@skeletalchild8011 the old old mines (like 2 versions of the map ago)

SOOOOooo much nostalgia from Mirage with Cruiser III
Pra mim o mirage com 14TP MUITA NOSTALGIA
haha same! except for me it was the vickers medium mk3. Luckily i still have it but it doesn’t change the fact that mirage is still gone :(
i miss these i dont even play the game much anymore, i just log on to see whats happening and exit out…this game feels off now, its so simular yet so different. idk if i will ever play it like i used to.
I quit playing, the game was so much better before, nowadays you login and you get spammed with 10 offers and a battle pass video.
Man , the music is something else , they really paid attention
Mirage and Lost Temple were OG maps, but when i saw the other versions of old maps i was schoked
WoTB in the early days aimed to be a direct mini version of PC WoT
the music awakens something i cant tell what but it does
Why wg remove mirage and lost temple??😟
I miss the lost temple version two and the mirage it was one of the best map
Nostalgia
Pura nostalgia cara, é de mim arrepiar, só de lembrar de época que comecei a jogar
Mirage, i had so many battles on this map
Mirage and Lost Temple are never fucking coming back
yep
Im not that old in Wotb (playing since 2020) still don't understand why did they remove mirage and lost temple :/
Lost temple and Mirage are being reworked indefinately, so they may or may not comeback. They are fixing the maps inorder to make them more balanced and suited for tier 10.
While some maps are getting updated. Castilia is now way better and even Middleburg getting update in update 9.7.
why'd they remove lost temple? the size was fine, it was fairly balanced and actually a fun one
The songs are giving me such nostalgic vibes
I hope they bring back Lost Temple.
These maps look better than the new ones ngl
Winter Malinovka truly looks sad now just pasted white everywhere, I miss the old one
This video brings back so many memories with the old music
Mirage really brings me to the days when I still played the low tiers, those days were really hard to earn new tanks which made me feeling so happy when gradually bought a new one. Ah, good old days 😔😢
lost tample and mirage will allways stay in the veteran hearts :(( i miss them so much
5.5 and 7.8 are the reason i drink every night
Most of these maps are just either reworked, or revamp
Old maps feel way more peaceful

Mirage was the best desert map.
