Free Dedicated Server Only Maps

[VAF [136] Striker]

I would like to see maps that are only usable in a dedicated server environment that are free to use for the server. Right now our only choice is to purchase the NTTR map if we wish to run it on our server and everyone in the group has to purchase it as well. Since the server would be running in a non-client mode, it would be a very good way to promote and encourage people to purchase the maps in the future without forcing the people that run servers to have to own it.

+1. A dedicated server doesn't need textures, but only object and terrain data. Additionally, forcing dedicated servers (which by definition don't play) to purchase add-on terrains and objects will reduce the amount of missions hosted in add-on terrains, which may reduce sales overall.

Thanks for the clarification. With some of the recent traffic, it had appeared that the DS was either scrapped or would not include theaters beyond Caucasus.
