Deck-9

 I wasn't the only one either - it got to the extent that a petition was made to keep it in, to no effect. Overall, I'm sad to see this map go, especially given the circumstances in which it was removed.

 

Hey! I just saw this! http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=204085&hl=%2Bdeck%26%238208%3B9+%2Bpetition    Wish It would've worked. :(

Thankyou rilliant! I was always wondering why they took some of these maps away. My all time favorite was gallery! and still is today.. Bring it back please!!! I also miss canyon and getting frozen on deck-9:)

 

cheers.

Whats the point to remove "Moon silence" ? There you see not only in Moon silence fly hackers are available,  <_< there is still all the maps that have over 200 hackers each day, I recommend to return moon silence to return.

I miss crash and moon silenc - liked the cool music in there too and the lesser gravity effect 

[Rad-Powered 1,694]

Omg I can't believe that they removed Deck-9 & Canyon, these maps used to be my favourite! :(

Abyss

Abyss - a large spacious map with very little cramped quarters. Prior to the map update, you needed to be a First Lieutenant to play it. It was large but easy to navigate through. The pathways were also very narrow which meant that, when on them, turrets with strong impact forces were able to push players off, depending on how they went about shooting. It was quite a trek in regards to capturing each flag - you had to do a lot and get through a lot in order to capture a flag. Another thing people liked a lot about it is the somewhat easily accessible room Abyss had. The following video eventually explains how could get there whilst it was around:

So what caused its departure? A brand new, somewhat identical map namely Skyscrapers! It can be found in the game now, although it's fair to say the EN populace prefer Abyss to Skyscrapers, as do I. I appreciate that Skyscrapers is more vibrant than Abyss though. On June 3 of last year, Abyss made its way for Skyscrapers, never to be played again.

Moon silence

Another variation of Silence? How fun! On the Cosmonauts Day of 2013, Moon Silence was added to the game. What made it different from the current Silence at the time? NOTHING, when you exclude the lack of gravity, the space-like sounds and a different skybox. The feel of weightlessness was made more abundant in this map, and that's what everyone liked. The thing is, the map's temporary permanence wasn't always meant to be. The developers had a 'let's-see-how-it-goes' attitude when releasing this map. Depending on its popularity, the map would either be removed after a short period, or it would stay. As expected, the players welcomed the map with open arms, which lead to it permanently staying. Not only this, it was available for every rank! (although the current Silence at the time WAS NOT - take that at your own discernment). So what caused its removal in the end? HACKERS. That's right - fly hackers as low as Recruit went in Moon Silence games to ruin them. Anyone who got caught received a beautiful BLOCK, but that clearly wasn't too much of a deterrent, and it did ruin gameplay, although I laughed at the nubs that abundantly did not know how to operate the hack. At least it went out in style, though - for 7 days, 3000 gold boxes dropped and the person who caught the most in that period won an I-Pad. This has all the details.

 

Magadan

It's certainly underrated - but if you asked a set of players if they've heard of the map before, many a time would you hear the answer "No" - yes, the developers removed this map along with Deck-9 and Canyon due to the inactivity of the map, and this is the one that makes sense. Our older players will miss this map dearly, however.

Which map do you want to see return? What's your favourite map of all time? Feel free to comment below!

 

 

 

I remember these because I received my first 1 day ban in magadan and because I almost always played at moon silence the moon silence being removed was an evil update it would be like tanki removing polygon control points

Joyful :) Old Memories. Well I myself wasn't in the game for a long time and didn't even have the change to play in many maps. But, Deck-9 and Canyon were both included in my list of favorites it was quite a shock seeing them go. But anyhow as they say Whatever happens, happens for the best. 

[Lewis.Hamilton 1,110]

I miss Moon Silence, Canyon and Galery. I can say i never played in Galery but as i see, it is perfect for parkour. Also Canyon, best for railgun and twins. I remember the good moments with my friend nikolaydene where we fighted every day on Canyon, i have hunted much golds there from my old account. Each of this maps are great. Great topic too man.

Gallery looks pretty cool.

 

Great article Rem! 

[Flexoo 6,980]

I will never forget you Canyon and Deck-9. I loved those maps :(.

[Live.a.Life 87]

Some old pictures i love.

[MessagerAngel 33]

I don't remember these maps but deck 9 sounds cool. The wird thing is that around that time I was taking a break for Minecraft so I probably missed the talk of it and I also have a horrible memory. :(

It made no sense that Moon Silence was removed due to hackers when the anti-cheat update was being implemented during that time! They would of kept it if was because of that.

 

I believe it was removed because the stinking 'new' physics were right around the corner and the devs believed that the physics would have a significant effect on Moon Silence's gravity. -_- One reason why I hate the physics today

Megh. Even if fly hackers were an issue, that's nothing considering the noobs of today who use jump hacks during parkour battles. Its a cheap and dirty way of getting places.
