Plus i've seen those kinda numbers on trinity and pizza.

It's a good map, but one can only battle hoards of la7s so long before it becomes.. erm.. dull.

Furballers have to adapt on maps such as pizza(DIE DIE DIE).  Whats wrong w/ you strat dudes? How can i be all that different? Up a bomber, get alt, bomb... Sounds simple to me. Seems to me that since 3-4 fekers cant pork all the fuel around and force defenders to fly 75miles for a fight is the only problem here for some. It seems that I have just not seen a good arguement in this thread as to why FesterMA isnt a good strat map.

La7/niki hordes? That dont last long a AoM horde around. 8)

O, and furballers dont have contempt for strat guys. Most furballers have been on the 'strat' wagon and know they are just plain better than that now..

Let's give it a chance. I played today and last night on the Fester map. It was OK. I had a good time. :) But flippin' eck, those cons appear from nowhere!

I don't think Cit/Fester is the type of guy to implement a map that ordains one kind of play style and discourages all others. He's looking at the strat angle, and I think improvements will continue to be made.

For one week in five, I can be a furballer. ;) Let's keep all the maps.

This is one of the very best features of festerma.

You mean the part about strat not working and being useless on this furball-centric map?

Strat players are those who attacking the resupply system in proper sequence.  The airfields are the least significant part of the strategic system.

Primary Target #1 is the City which resupplies the
Secondary target which are the Facilities which resupplies
the last significant Strat which are the fields.

Field porkers aren't Strat players, they are ignoring almost the entire Strat system.  So sure "it isn't working" for em - it isn't supposed to!

Guy hitting as many fuel as he before he dies can calling himself a Strat player is like a 30k cherry picker calling himself a furballer.  

The Field porker gets his fun from pissing off as many people as possible.   A Strategic player, as the term strategy would imply, is working the map.

Yeah, that's all fine and stuff, but hitting factories is too much work for mostly un-noticable gain. Ask anyone and they'll tell you, unless they're in a goon resupplying the HQ, a strat target at 0% makes little, if any, difference to them.

That, and we can pork the resupply all we want, but it won't do jack if the things it resupplies doesn't need to be resupplied!

and you guys say *furballers* have ADD!

why should you care about the effects, or lack thereof,  on others as long as you get points for a successful drop and rtb?
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.
