If you were to take a competitive game like Counter-Strike and look at map data, you'd see this: Most games are played on the same few maps. Just a handful. Then take another, more casual game like Team Fortress 2. Image Credit: Teamwork.tf
Look at that trend! Over 1/4 of official games are played on just three maps, and half of all games are played on just nine maps. So why is this trend happening? The first thing that I can ascribe this too is nostalgia. Four of the top five maps listed: 2fort, Upward, Badwater and Dustbowl, have been in the game since launch. That's fifteen years ago! Despite all the newer maps that exist, people keep returning to the same ones. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling. Playing the same map you played years ago will immediately invoke a sense of familiarity and comfort. It's exactly how you remember it and you don't have to worry.
