Festers New Map Plain Ole Sucks

[Pfunk]

It has turned this game into Quake High, nothing but a massive furball of planes and GV's in one central location, no strategy whatsoever.  Even if all you wanted to do was furball on the center island, it creates such a lagfest that it is damn near impossible to do any dogfighting.  HTC PULL THIS POS Map from the rotation.  If I wanted to do nothing but spawn camp and join massive killings I will reinstall Counterstrike or Quake.  This isnt what a WWII simulation should be like.

Hey man, give it a chance. Lag might be from all the downloads people are going through. Never know.

Worse comes to worse, it will only be up a week.

[Shane]

yeah this always happens with a new map, every congregates at a central location.

it takes the strat weenies a while to get a feel for the map.

Hey, Pfunk - point me to YOUR map and I'll compare them. It takes a lot of work to make a map and a whole lot more to make one that makes sense. I don't think you'll gain a lot of fans by dumping on someone's honest effort.

LOL, what did you play the map for a whole hour maybe.  Geez the sky is falling the sky is falling.  What a joke:lol

If anything he needs to change one of each VH on the center island between the closests to the middle VH and the Air field vh into a FH.  The flights from Air fields to center of map a little long.  

Great potato peeling map though!!!!!!  


BTW PFunk why don't you be the first one to start some strategy.  Or are you saying people are too busy fighting to listen to you whine about base captures on country channel:rofl

Very fine Map imho.  No Lag on my end whatsoever.  Had some nice fights over a few bases.  Lag problems could be a connection problem...matter of fact it usually is.  Get Ping Plotter and test your connection when you are lagging.  It will point out the problems if there are any.

3MB download speed, no packet loss, solid con to MA arena, its a well know fact that when their are too many planes in one area lag is profoundly worse.

Figures the first response would be well why dont you design a map blah blah blah, that isnt my responsibility it is HTC's to test their maps or player designed maps for functionality and playability.  Festers map was tested for a whopping week in an arena where maybe 50 players max were testing it, simple fact is when 550+ players are in the MA and 75%+ of them are in one area, the map is a lagfest, yeah go to another part of the map and lag isnt an issue but when 75% of the MA is one area it is unplayable.

[Pfunk]

You guys are so busy suckin on Fester balls to realize that the map has an indefinite amount of issues/bugs that a 1 week trial test of maybe a max load of 50 players cannot determine how it plays out in a main arena of 500+ players.  Fester isn't an HTC god, wow he designed a map or two with one out of those two being playable.  It is pretty evident that HTC is placating subscribers with the first new development in over a year.  Let's toss the subscribers a bone that was tested for less than a week while we are still nowhere neat the completion of AH2. Maybe that will make them happy

AH has is a light shade of what it used to be, now on any given night there are 500+ players in the MA.  Strategy now simply consists of lets see how many bases we can pork the strats at and what base has the best furball.  Gameplay hasnt changed in 3+ years, the only new development in gameplay is larger maps and a different bombing method.  I guess newbies are quite found of a Quake style shoot shoot bang bang methodology, but this map caters to it so much its rediculous.

[SOB]

Blah blah gripe gripe.  Quit if AH is so damned horrible.  Don't like it in the center where it's laggy, then fer christ sake, FLY SOMEWHERE ELSE.  Don't like the map, fine, but you're just being a whiney little sweetheart bag about it.  Which maps were playtested for an extended amount of time before becoming MA maps?

I managed to fly about three hours tonight, and didn't get any lag at all.  We had a nice little back and forth going N of bish A133 against some MAWs and a few others.

Now pull that wadded up mess of panties out of your crack and go get drunk or something.  You need it.

[LAWCobra]

Had a great time on festers new map tonight NO LAG.

FHs were a little hard to kill but i have been drinking wine;)

Fester to you sir I for one thank you for you many hrs of hard work.

Did it ever occur to you that I am drunk, hence the ranting about an unplayable map......... The problem is the vast majority of players are furballin and gv'ing on the cneter  island, fights elsewhere are few and far between, I guess if all you wanna do is be a strat potato and pork bases or furball then the map is great.  But the lag is so bad that if all you wanted to do is kill some guys quick its damn near impossible.  I have never seen a map with so many warps in a confined area

Sounds more like you're pissed off at HTC then you are at Festers Map.
