I have to agree with BFlat.
In the old version, it was just too simple to spawn shoot, so there would constantly be a need for correction
(Not that we should have to).
This version also allows for more speed with the boost ramps and quite honestly the fact that there are more than 10 ramps.
Also, the multiple islands makes it less likely that a crowd of people will camp on a singular island making it less of a "shooting map"
and more of a surf map.
