Just curious, But what experiance that would be? so far as I know I've never seen a two or four country map in a Main Arena here or in AW.
So far as I know its never even been tried as a MA setup.
Could be wrong though since I havent been around AH since its creation.
What I do know is 3 country arenas dont or I should say RARELY work the way they are intended to and never have.
If the two weaker countries tended to fight the one stronger one I'd agree. But thats not what usually happens.
Typically what we usually end up with is the two countries with the most numbers ganging up on the one with the least numbers in a race to take the most feilds. While barely skirmishing each other just enough to not loose too many bases to one another.
In the case you might as well just have two countries anyway.
Small maps are fine if all you like is one big furball or gangbang.
I Dont.
The larger maps Pizza included, seem to have a range of options with some feilds closer to one another then others. I furballed the better part of last night about 5 hours and I dont think I spent more then 10 minutes tops getting to the fight and more times then not it was a significantly shorter time then that which really isnt much different then I experiance onthe smaller maps.
Also the problem with the Smaller maps is they tend to end up as nothing more then one big gangbang be they "organized" or not.
Problem with the feilds that are close together on any map is those are usually the first ones to be captured. Or if they arent they are the first ones porked which means to get to the furball you ended up having to fly a greater distance. Just like you would on the larger maps.
While Some of the spawn points are screwed up.
On Pizza map I see nothing wrong with the map itself other then they way countries are situated at the start. Each country should start completely owning 1 of the 3 land masses and a couple islands. they way they set it up now makes no sence whatsoever.
Bottom line is each map is what you make of it. If you want to find somehintg to have fun doing while your on it you can. and if you want to be miserable on a particular map, you can do that too.
The fun is up to you.
