CAN SOME1 FROM HTC ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS PLEASE
« on: August 11, 2009, 01:18:22 PM »
Sorry for the caps.  Life wasn't bad before the upgrade, now Gving u get the added joy of driving across nearly flat landscape with the added bonus of getting ranged 5k away. WHY did u get rid of the hills? Vehicles r exposed over large areas of terrain. Would it be so difficult to put a tanktown in EVERY map without the silly little spawn in types? The tank town where each team gets 3 v bases and an airbase is perfect. Not everyone enjoys driving 10 minutes to a base in some cases, nor do they have the time every time they log on. The trees r excessive in the new maps, and the hills are nearly all gone. I hope this isn't the final upgrade because if a person likes GVing these maps are a major disappointment. If all a person does is fly a plane your good to go, who cares.  :furious I'm giving this a couple weeks to see where it goes and hopefully it will be in a more positive direction. I don't know who's advice you took to implement these changes but it doesn't seem like you asked anyone that uses GVs a lot.

To be honest the hills looked stupid, I can't say I've ever seen a natural hill that looked like what we have in game... I don't GV much, but from what I can tell the ground war has improved. I love the forests that you can drive through but are very difficult to shoot through.

They have taken away all the hills, now its just palm trees that you cant shoot threw the leaves/branches? I mainly GV and IMO it has practically ruined the ground game. Even the solid hedgerows were an improvement over this. (thats why I quit)

To be honest the hills looked stupid
Id rather hide behind something that looks stupid, then nothing at all.  :D

I actually enjoy GVing more. Love lurking through the trees.

On a scale of 1 to 10 i'd give the GV aspect a 6.  I do really miss the little hills even though they did look unnatural. 

I would suggest at least adding hedgerows that can be driven through in 1st gear. 

I'm not sure if its possible but the leaves on a tree stopping my 75mm round needs to be fixed, I can see a tree trunk stopping the round.

If these two changes were made I would give the new version a 10 out of 10

I remember beFORE we had the hills, and I effing HATED the hills when they came out. Just a buncha DR7's all hunting for the perfect hull-down spot from which to invisibly plunk you from afar. He will still kill me of course, but it will be HARDER!

So there are too many trees to hide behind and not enough hills? I must be honest, I have not been off a base in a GV since the upgrade.

I remember beFORE we had the hills, ...

Me too ... I had as much fun then as I do now when I jump in a GV.

I use to love the long distance dueling matches ... the guy that could range the fastest was usually the winner ... it was like being a sniper, but using a tank gun instead of a sniper rifle.
