I havent played spear head yet but I TOTALY AGREE with what you said about the custom mappers usually make better maps than the EA teams.
They usually dont "look" better, but they play much better. The original DM maps from EA are too F'ing DEATHMATCH'Y!!!! I think it was disrespectful of them to portray WWII as a deathmatch, run 'n' gun, shoot 'em up... pisses me off
Could you imagine if a veteran of the war saw this MOH's gameplay style... im sure he would be very offended. Only with a good custom map and a good realism mod, would he be somewhat pleased with the game (i would think).
I mean, look at "Destroyed Village" that map gets so repetitive... its just a big fricken circle. When I play it I feel like there is no point to it... just to get kills ... how would Mr. WWIIVeteran feel about that? I REALLY think EA needs to get that DEATHMATCH thing outta their heads... this could be a reeaallly good game, but they wont let it.
A lot of the custom maps are always better because they are more linear... not some big circle. I can think of some really good maps that EA should study closely!!! And if you dont have any of them... GET THEM NOW!
MORE PEOPLE NEED TO HOST THESE MAPS ON THIER SERVERS!!!!!!:

Man oh man was i disappointed. All the respawn points are in the same spot. So everybody respawn kills everybody 
. I love spearhead regardless 
i think EA is a fantastic company with great ideas. This is the best game ive ever played, but these respawn points are crazy 
lol. Seemed like EA might have had one zima too many. But i was just curious what everyones thoughts were about the maps that EA produced 
....in my opinion i think the mapping community of Spearhead and mohaa do a better job then the proffesionals that get paid 
. What are your thoughts? 
. I enjoy making stuff for myself. Then i wish my friends to play with me on those maps. Because i constantly see things in others that i dont like. Oh yeah the structure is fantastic or maybe even tons better. But ill play for example like stalingrad. I love that map. Its my second home practically. But i didnt apply those textures....i didnt come up with those ideas. I want to make my own. I have no problem recognizing someone elses talents. Oh heres an example this computer im using i built. It was my first killer rig. I put the parts in there. I chose what i wanted. Thats what i like about it. Just because im not using other custom maps doesnt mean i cant relate or be proud of someone elses work. In my maps i tend to add secret passages. Walls that are actually doors and hidden walk ways. Im just about to finish "Le Hotel" so ill post pics of that map in the forum, hopefully tonight 
. Im so glad to almost be done with it because this next map will be the official mascott for -=O*Neil's War=- server.
