Your map ff_casbah is actually played on my server, but its logic that if you have 4 dudes on server, and you need to download a 50 megabytes map, it will kill the server, but that would happen with all the other medium/large maps.
Personally its one of my favorite custom ctf maps out there : )

Casbah was ~38 MB stock and 18 MB ztmp'd the last time I checked, unless someone crammed it full of crap without me knowing about it.

I obviously don't speak for everyone, but I can break it down for those maps. In general I don't care for indoor maps with cramped corridors, which is the whole second cap of anticitizen and all of genesis Visually the first cap of anticitizen is good, but gameplay-wise O steamrolls D on it. The second cap is almost all indoors, the airlock is no fun and slows things down. The elevator / giant ladder combo isn't fun for the 3rd cap, however I love the giant mountain at the end and that cap has pretty good balance overall.

Yeah those were just a couple of examples. There are probably at least 50 or so maps that don't get played, and a select few that are played constantly. It just depends on the layout, the difficulty of playing offense or defense, etc and just how popular it is.

Yeah, for what it's worth, I thought napoli was a great addition, except it's over very very fast. I blame that more on current gameplay settings rather than the map design itself.
