Bernadette Mataki doesn't consider him one, wondering what exactly would make a "unlikable but brave man" abandon those who he had led and protected for fifteen years. Most of the civilians love him until he abandons Vectes in Coalition's End, and they begin to despise him and consider him a coward.
Alternative Character Interpretation: In-universe, with opinions on Chairman Richard Prescott being decidedly mixed. Foundation is a rather small map, which is especially popular for King of the Hill and Escalation since teams don't have to travel far to capture rings, and is also designed to be very Gnasher-friendly while Reclaimed is a very big map with a perched gazebo at the top that allows snipers and heavy weapon users to see almost the entire map and farm kills off of enemy players. However, with regards to its launch maps, you'll rarely play on anything that isn't Foundation or Reclaimed. Since Gears of War 4 featured almost nothing but recycled maps from the previous games as DLC, all of the above usually applies to it. Any other maps were tragically forgotten. And of course, Raven Down was the ultimate haven for the infestation of Gnasher users, since it's the smallest map in the series and only features 2 frag grenade spawns as weapons, making it a wet dream for "Stop Having Fun" Guys who despised every other weapon.
War Machine is a decent sized map as well and featured a Troika turret with Bottomless Magazines for easy kill-farming (although it's very vulnerable to sniper fire). Occasionally, you could get lucky and play on War Machine or Raven Down. It's the first map in the default quickplay rotation and is a fairly large map, so most players viewed it as the most "balanced" in terms of cover and weapons availble.
You'd be perfectly forgiven for thinking that Gridlock was the only map actually available in the first game, as it was just about the only one players wanted to play on. 8.8: There was some backlash when the Trope Namer, Jeff Gerstmann, gave the first game's ultimate edition 2/5 stars.
