FesterMA is Fester FURBALL

You know, I've been around a couple years now, and some things never change.
We always have posts about maps..."I don't like this...I dont like that..I want this changed".

We currently have maps that cater to just about everyones tastes here.

Festers map caters a little more closely to those who prefer to furball.

Big Isles, Trinity and Pizza are a little better for the strat people.

Some like the small maps  (uterus etc.)

One thing is pretty much guaranteed. They all will see use and all are rotated through.  Pretty fair don't you think?

About the only thing I can see that is justified to whine about are bugs with the maps. In fact that isn't really a whine at all is it?

I vote for less whining and more flying.

<> and thanks to ALL the people who make maps for us. They get nothing in return for their efforts and it provides us with so many options.

cheers,
RTR

Making a personal attack on artik is bad form.  He brings up relevant criticisms whether you agree with them or not.


Fester has created a very nice map.  

A lower base density would improve it imo.

My first impression of Festers Map is that it has designed out Strat.  Having 5 bases within a 25 mile radius is essentially 1 large base, impossible to restrict fuel, ammo, barracks, etc.  Constant furball generators.

Gangbanging a base with spits, nikis and lots of quick run goons was the most popular tactic when I played.

Now there are 3,4 or 5 friendly bases within 25 miles of an enemy base.

Lowering the average to 2  friendly bases within 25 miles (of an enemy base) would still create Fester's Furball without negating strat.

Regardless of your opinions on Fester's work, you must applaud the thought, effort and attempt at making the MA a better place for all.

You say that like the Elite Furballer Corps wouldn't do exactly what i said they would.


Nope:) Wrong again Rut.  I don't attack anyones game play style.

However I will defend against you attacking it unless you have something valid to say

To answer your big red bold question, yes it is.  

As a 190 pilot (not so much this tour though), FesterMA is probably my favorite map.  The e-fighter "disaster" you reference couldn't be farther from the truth.  Those furballs are a cherry picker's dream.  If you can't do well with a boom and zoomer on FesterMA, you should examine your flying style and skill before blaming it on the map.  

The best thing about FesterMA is that on a full tank of gas, you can easily fly to 3 or so enemy bases and still do some fighting.  You don't have to worry so much about the fight winding down before you get there, leaving you with a full ammo load and an empty tank of gas.

There's no map where cherry picking, gang-banging, vulching and overall dweebery is easier to accomplish.  None.

In other words, he is not happy unless he is one on one with a 5k advantage in a p51 against a hurricane. If there are 2 hurricanes working together to try and drag him down, well that's a furball and not fair.

 My question is...... where are these so called furballs? All I have seen is this horde against a few or one base over the reverse of that. Head on N1ks or lala7s at 3 K aint my cup of tea.

They're there, and plentiful.  I fly Knit, so maybe that has something to do with it.

"It is good for all turnfighters - but furballing is abolutly disaster for all energy fighters like P-51D, Bf109G-10 or Fw190D-9."

Now, I'm going to be perfectly blunt here. You're an idiot.

I'm not attacking anything, it's just that most furballers have a holier than thou attitude to anyone who dares pick up a bomb or play the strat game.
