Please read the Luthier's anwser with a more open mind.
Here's a quote about the maps.

You said earlier:'we really want to release at least the map-making SDK to the public “as is”, which is why they’re not covered by the next patch v. sequels discussion.'
If this is released will it be possible for an organised community effort to improve certain elements of the main COD map or will the sdk be only for creating new small maps?
Yes, the SDK will allow people to edit existing maps.
Quote:
As you probably know quite a few people are disappointed with the current map and feel it could be made better by making changes to tree coverage/ hedgerows/etc. These would not be difficult changes technically, but would be time consuming and labour intensive - and therefore ideal for talented community members to undertake whilst the developers focus on the sequel (almost like a Team Daidolos for COD).
If the choice is between NO further work on the map OR allowing an (organised) community effort to make improvements (with your final approval regarding quality) would you be agreeable to this happening?
See above.

Luthiers answers say CODs maps and aircraft will be in the sequel. Hopefully the SDK will also be included. No one really cares if they include the missions and campaigns, but I see no real reason they wouldn't be include them. If they manage to improve the game engine, AI, AI commands, GUI, Clouds/Weather, COOPs, and FMB etc, the community and third parties will make far better mission and campaigns.
