I think an ideal map would have a balance of realism and creative design. Realism gets boring, but too much liberty in design can make people say, "What the hell was THAT?" (Marathon 1, anyone?). Not that creative design is bad, I think it's awesome, and it's what us mapmakers live to do, but I think it looks better with some sort of realism. The extent to which the maps in Ch1 are symmetrical and "realistic" far oversteps these boundaries, I think, and get a bit dull.
