IMO that shows a limited imagination.
IMO you are talking about making a new version, while other people want it "back".
If you recall, the original was a flat plane, with no room below. You fell, you died. No way to know.
It was deathmatch in the sky.
Version 2 added barrels, a knife, exploitable traitor room, and a "jail".
I think that the only reason people like it so much is because you are shooting way more often than on other maps.
