Here is a sample picture of one of the Beta skirmish maps. The circle is where most people battled in skirmish and PvP skirmish.

You can see that most of the map has not been used and by changing the battle area, you can reuse the map a few times.

So does that mean that, while you can reuse a map multiple times before it gets old, that only one part of the map has "interesting terrain"?

I believe that was sarcasm on the part of the dev that originally posted the picture.

You could solve this by having a few different points that your objective might spawn, moving the focus to the unused part.
