Time for a new arena...

[Blammo]

Was thinking about this last night.  A lot of people would like some different features to add to their (experience) AH.  So, how about an new additional arena configured like this.

1) Complete days and nights

2)  Kill shooter off

3)  Burn multiply @ 1

4)  All collisions turned on

5)  Friendly icons at 3K or less

6)  No enemy icons at all

7)  No uber radar (Only base radar)

8)  Only two countries (Knight and...whoever )

This is all I could think of, but would be nice to have an alternative to the regular MA.  Those that like night, those that hate kill shooter, etc, would get what they want.

It may not be doable because of hardware or lack of desire (on the behalf of HTC), but I think it would enhance the overall experience for everyone and give additional alternatives when people would otherwise get frustrated and log off.

So, anyone have any thoughts on this?  Anyone like to see it or a variation of it?

add no capturable bases.....

There is a variation of it. It's called the CT.

4) All collisions turned on

I have seen this idea a few times, but never understood how it could work with multiple people taking off at the same base.  Wouldn't everyone die when they took off if you were in a mission?  Just wondering, nothing more.

I am not a big time vehicle guy, but I do find it annoying to tank and have planes buzzing all the time.  I *know* it was part of real life, but I bet many would appreciate it.

Naturally, this isn't going to be the first time this was suggested.

These parts have or are part of the CT, check it out.

Been in there, eskimo...but there are things the CT doesn't have that I am looking for.  Also, I'd like to see a configuration like I described on some of the non-historical terrain.  One of my biggies is kill-shooter being off.  Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Kill shooter is a vital part of any arena, otherwise some really immature folks would do nothing but buzz around killing friendlies.

I'd shoot twitchy down every chance I got.

The thing you have to do is talk to the CT team, get your set-up slated to be tried for a while. A whole arena just for your favorite idea might be jumping the gun for the cost of setting up a new arena. Get CT to try it a bit, (I hear them say they're flexible) see if it draws the crowd.

well i think its a bloody superb idea, and if implemented i would rarely use the MA again.

maybe this attitude is what HT is affraid of though. dont want to reduce MA numbers too much.

good idea none the less.

Good idea, Boozer.  I had not thought about it, but maybe that would be worth a go.  Thanks

Add that in as a good idea even though it won't be coming any time soon.

Blammo,

Shoot me an email and we I will make sure that your suggestion gets plenty of discussion in the CT Staff forum. If the old Perdonia terrain gets updated we might have just what you are looking for in a terrain.
