The maps for the PvP are too vast and open, and it's more of a "see who can run around in circles the fastest" competition than actual combat.  

Agreed, the pvp maps need to be redesigned. Make it smaller, don't have such long lines of walls, and overall make it quicker to get across.  

We provide larger maps to support a large amount of players that are expected to come when the free app is released. More fast pace small maps may make an appearance however, or maybe even new game modes  

Like KOTH/CTF?

I'd much rather see more missions before more pvp game modes. By adding new pvp modes, you're splitting the current pvp community making it both harder to play or find people for the mode you like most, and also split attention around balance.

The current pvp modes will be fun for a while. People have been taking bases on Era/Classic for 2 years, and it hasn't died. People spar on Era and Classic and its still active. Ctf on iClassic died because it cost money and was horribly broken

However, the same current 3 missions get old and repetitive fast. They aren't challenging, they just pass time and allow you to make money. There needs to be more challenging ones.
