400 or so people fighting at 4 or 5 bases on small maps.

The game has outgrown them. wish they would be removed from rotation.

There is a few I love and a few I love to hate...

Those that I love to hate allow me to appreciate the ones I love.

Kinda like chicks wouldnt you say?;)

They work during non-peak hours.. But by 8 PM Eastern time the crowd exceeds reasonable density for the small maps. It's impossible to find a small fight with every front-line base crowded with dozens of aircraft.

While I find the smaller maps really really boring and overcrowded,
Cept for minindoodo which I outright hate

I dont mind them nearly as much  as I mnd getting stuck with them every time a big map is reset.
Its at a point where we're being stuck with the small maps twice as much as the big ones.

A week was too long for any map. but this once reset we go to a small map is rediculous already.
I'd like to see a 3 day minimum 7 day maximum for each map
 Or at least each map get a full 3 days even if 3 days was both the Min and the max.

That would give everyone a fair chance to play their favorite map.

Im not asking for anyone to be forced to play on my favorite maps any more then I am forced to play on anyone elses.
I'd just like to see a system that is a little more fair to everyone
and with the hoard warriors being what they are.
The current system is anything but fair to anyone reguardless of what map you like.

The big deal is exactly that ... maps should not be re-settable in that length of time.

Maps that reset that quickly only prove that with the amount of players that we have now, any country that can orgranize a "horde" can rip thru a map porking everthing in sight and steamroll its way to a reset. Oh boy ... oh joy ... fun in bushel baskets if your on the receiving end of that.

I cringe at the sight of a small map. The gameplay and reset strategy on these small maps is so predicatable it borders on ludicrious.

Me too. In fact these days, I just log off. So I'm sucking royally through lack of practice...

What I *like* about the pizza map is that it's the antithesis of a small map.

I like a map that allows gameplay during the off-peak hours to be viable, those that are smaller or have a furball island in the center are most conducive to enthusiastic off peak flyers.

Small maps just don't work for a Fri/Sat/Sun night tho.
