If only it was early war planes enabled for the FT in Donut Map.

When you reset the terrain Wednesdays do you start with the same map in the cluster everytime? If you always start with the same HUGE map which is nearly impossible to reset such as Equinox it is entirely possible we will never get to see the better maps deeper into the weekly cluster of maps available. If you don't already, I suggest some sort of randomizer or rotation system for the maps within the weekly cluster of maps. That way we don't always start with the GIANT stalemate maps that we end up stuck on for the entire week, missing all the better maps.

The maps are groups of threes, and are rotated out each week, with a different set. And whan I reset the terrains, I always put a small map up if a big map is up, or a big map if a small map is up.

The only exceptions are the small map group which consists of 5 terrains.

Here are the current groupings, not neccessarily in the order there are rotated.

Request for weekly map rotation change. Now ALOT of thought has gone into this...

Donut/Equinox
Donut/Baltic
Donut/Festerma
Donut/Mindnao
Donut/Ozkansas
Donut/Sfma
Donut/Trinity
Donut/Ndisles
Donut/Frac3

The problem with that is, just because we may happen to have a small map up at 10:30 am Wednesday when you do the rotation doesn't mean we haven't spent 6 of the 7 days on a HUGE map. The simple fact is the HUGE maps almost always last the entire week, the small maps are lucky to last 1 day. So, the back and forth method on the maps does not actually provide us with parity of experience on each type. As it is now I conservatively estimate we spend 90% of each week on a HUGE map....

If you replaced Frac3 map in the rotation with Donut you would have much happier customers, Frac3 is the ummm for lack of a better word, the 'weakest' map in the rotation, Donut map is by far the strongest and most universally apreciated. Donut, is a very great compromise between the rediculously HUGE and the insta-reset small maps the rest of the map set has to offer.

You just made my buddy list ghi.

Does anyone NOT like donut?

Donut is by far the best map, surely we should see it in rotation more often than it is.

Herbie · « **Reply #24 on:** November 09, 2005, 03:01:09 PM »

I have to agree with Dipstick on this one, its too bad we got to play such a great map for such a short time.

mauser · « **Reply #25 on:** November 09, 2005, 03:23:46 PM »

I've seen and played in donut once since it was added to the rotation. I really enjoyed it for the brief hour or two that I could play.

Has resetting the arena to a smaller map once attendance gets down to below maybe 200 been considered?

Are you creasy? I am busting my arse off to win the war, and just because some guys log off my country gets reset? Who wins then?

mauser · « **Reply #27 on:** November 10, 2005, 12:01:28 AM »

Um... we're ALL winners

Yeah, yeah, that's it - that's the ticket.

Ok, so that idea won't work.

lazs2 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 10, 2005, 08:04:13 AM »

Skuzzy, just out of curiousity...why was Pizza yanked? Will we ever see it again? Maybe put it to a vote as a MOTD vs starting a whine fest in here.
