A letter to VALVe, (Gabe Newell) ?

OK we have seen it before, a rant here and there sent to VALVe. This one I just had to put here, it simply asks to fix some stock maps, not a huge task but they have been broken for way too long. Here is the text from the dods forums post...

Dear Mr. Newell:
My name is Daniel "Guyver" Moses. I'm writing you this letter to ask that Valve release the fixed stock maps for Day of Defeat Source. It's my understanding that Valve does have these fixed maps, as they were fixed by Wes "FuzzDad" Shull and sent to Valve. I have played and loved the Day of Defeat franchise since 2002. I have played with FuzzDad and the developers of the game many, many, times over the years. I'm also a member of the CAMP mapping team, which helped create and beta test custom maps for the game, which Valve endorsed and supported.

I know that the game doesn't get much attention, and I also understand why. The WWII FPS genre has indeed fallen out of favor in recent years. However, there are still many of us who enjoy the game immensely. I have bought several copies of Day of Defeat Source, and given them away in contests within our community to help garner more interest in the game. I'm not asking for a huge update and massive fixes across the board, and I also understand that bandwidth cost money. I'm just asking that Valve release what they already have. If I'm incorrect, and Valve does have these fixed maps, then feel free to correct me. I just would like to see some attention given to this great franchise. I look forward to your reply, and I thank you for your time.

I agree with Guyver, please fix the stock maps, or more to the point contact the moderators in the dods forum for the files.

If you want to send an email too .... you can, send here... http://www.valvesoftware.com/email.php

dodbits stuff: The webbie got an upgrade, it had many problems after that but ironed them out now. The Forum link up there now has two choices to view inside dodbits or outside (new window) so large images display properly.
