Why is Namalsk much more popular than Sakhal?

About this article

I simply love Sakhal. I've tried both and imo Sakhal looks and feels much much better. I think the map is really beautiful. The atmosphere, immersion and all yet the servers are so empty compared to Namalsk. Now I don't have much experience/knowledge of the game and if it's wrong to compare them just because they are both winter maps but... I just feel Sakhal is so underrated and deserve better. So.. why are people not playing it? Just because the endgame loot isn't good enough? submitted by ...
