Serious question here, have that said why or anything because I didn't expect kings canyon to be dropped, there was things I imagined having in kings canyon to make feel like a living breathing world, weather cycles and environmental groups of AI etc. but they've definitely took a few steps back here, again.

This is a non issue, and having just one map is a recipe for burnout.
You're comparing multiplayer games that have regular Team Deathmatch to a full Battle Royale. Other games adopted this game mode as an addition to the multiplayer experience, but very few games are pure Battle Royales from the beginning. Stop comparing well-established franchises to a different genre of game that's been out less than a year. That's not a very educated response.
Why would it being a battle royal have anything to do with the que times and map selection? Granted, you're not going to see rotations like battlefield with 10-15 maps, but the map is also much bigger.
We are specifically talking about que wait times. The only arguement can be that multiple maps would increase que because the playerbase would split into multiple factions looking for different maps...but they already have done exactly that with ranked vs unranked, and even snipers/shottys (so 3 ques) and it had absolutely zero effect on wait times so far as I saw.
Have you ever, I mean ever, had a wait? I haven't thru 2 seasons playing PS4 at extremely varied hours (noon, mid day, night, late night ) ever had to wait more than 15-20 seconds unless it bugged out, in which case you just stop search and start it again. And this is on a janky * 4G connection that will literally only work on the east coast servers (West coast lags).
Nonsense. It made no difference on battlefield, cod, or even Apex itself. It's all money, because it's EA.
Edit: also, with games like BF you don't have nearly the same number of people on que at the same time like a BR. BF games last 15+ minutes for Conquest (most popular) and people don't leave constantly. On Apex the majority of the server is in game for less than 5-7 minutes until it's down to 4-8 teams. In other words, with a huge playerbase vs BF and people constantly needing to restart 5-10 times an hour the que will never be empty.
It goes back to my original point - why would they release a new map that we've been begging for and make us only play it half of the time? They have to get feedback on the current one.

@jonesy0218 Facts and common sense are lost on these people. You explained yourself as clear as day, as I have over the near year I've been on this forum but it still doesn't sink in or understood with an open mind. They are deaf to anything other than their own one track opinion.
I'm not an EA fanboy @BA2VGT. EA have been awful with other titles, but this is a pure BR. It was marketed as such. This game has a fraction of the popularity of Cods and BF games (which are £60 a pop not including DLC and loot crates) and yet seems to hold up well against them which shows Respawn are doing something right.
I understand that this game is carving it's own path, and take it for what it is. F2P BR. The quicker you can understand that, and stop comparing apples with oranges the better. Respawn have the data to make good judgement calls reference game modes and content. You do not, so I'll take their decision over yours any day of the week. They have actually done what the community was asking for, but low and behold, there are still petulant children who don't like it, because it isn't tailored to them personally.
EA on the whole are woeful, but in this games life cycle so far, they cannot be criticised to much really (apart from the season 2 IC event). You sound blinded by hate with a 1 track agenda.
@jonesy0218Why does literally ever other game out there not disable the old maps when new ones come out? Because playing the same thing over and over quickly gets old.
Seriously...you two are arguing that less content is a good thing.
@BA2VGT lol you're missing the point... Comparing a multiplayer game that's supposed to have multiple maps or come with multiple maps is much different than a battle royale with one map. What other BR has multiple maps? I'll wait.
We had this problem in plants vs zombie GW2 people screaming to have GW1 maps in the game. Some people love old map and they want to play there since bring up a lot of memories and curious how things will work out overthere.
But you guys has been screaming for new map so they want you guys to try it out and give some feedback.
I think they will bring up old map for special game mode (2 weeks) so you guys can have nostaliga back.
Halloween (end of this month) would be a perfect one....trick a treat on old map with Hallowen customes and night mode would be awesome.
Just get your wallet ready for customes since it wont' be free.
If they need real numbers, real data, and real feedback on the new map, then they have to have it in place long enough to do so. You can't split the playerbase and expect accurate numbers. This is all for future content, so the feedback on this will improve the next map, updates, etc. I don't understand what you're not getting... Many people on these forums begged for a new map and now it's here. Let them learn and enjoy it before pouting about the old map. In the meantime, there's CoD that you keep bringing up. Maybe APEX is too basic for you? Oh well.
