well its been rotated a couple of times and i still don't like it. sorry..
to me its a step backwards in the HTC idea of makeing a game as realistic as possible...80% of players in the SH'THOLe in the centre of the map..
its buggy and arcadish and dosn't belong in ma..
I admire people who can make maps and the same is for this one, but its not an ma map.. put it up in the training arena or dueling arena...not ma..

So, 80% of the players want to furball, and that is a bad thing?  I may be the only one, but I just can't wait for this map to show up. :)

And then it rotates out.

If it was constantly here, I am sure we would all get tired of the arcade furball in the middle.

But we only see it every two to three weeks.  And it is a lot of fun.

I could see that argument in the CT, but I am not sure it is as valid in the LA's High, Main Arcade server :)

You just destroyed your whole whine right there. So basically you want that 80% to play your way so you can have fun? Not everyone wants 100% realism, some of us just want to have mindless fun.

Maybe I am wrong... But I LOVE this map...

I'm not much of a furballer, but this is the best of both worlds here

lets everyone have what they want

Only problem is with taking bases in FT, thats just stupidity in action..

leave Fightertown be, Bomb and take the rest of the bases

I like this map.. But I like large maps...

Yeah, they are all pretty much the same, you have a hot furball core and then the stategy guys working the corners.  

Thats why I like these though, they field everyone.  If I want to go furball nuts I can... If I want to get strategic I can.

What I hate is the tiny maps where you have your furballers and your strat guys mixed into the same sectors!  UGH!  One guy yells because the hangers get dropped and the next guy yells because that kills the furball and none of it means anything because the goon got shot down 3 minutes ago!

Just go kill stuff and have fun.  100% real war isn't fun... And if you want that, join the service, and stop playing video games... Your country needs you (no matter what country you're in).

I like it. I spent yesterday afternnoon and night in there. Exhausted me. I cant keep that stress level for too long, but a day or 2 is alot of fun. If not for the FSO, I probably would have been bombing something tonight, just for a break.

I'm actually starting not to like the center of the donut for a couple reasons.

1. The amount of smack talk and whining that stems from it is becoming unbearable.

2. The amount of egos within is enough to make you suffocate.

3. The 'Fightertown' doesn't really exist anyway, as the amount of vulching, porking, and 15K+ cons ruin it.

----

The best fun I had on donut was when it was in the backup arena, there was a limited number of people and generally, everyone tried to respectful of the other guy.

The reason "80%" (not hardly) of the players are in the center is simple. THEY LIKE IT THERE.

It is a game, people play it for fun. Are you really saying that those people in the center shouldnt have fun because you dont like what they call fun? After all, there are some maps that favor capture, some that favor CVs, some that favor GVs. Why not one for the mindless furballers?


Another perspective. Last night there were 450-500 on. Fightertown was fairly dead, because the vulchers had taken over to the point that 2 countries couldnt get up to fight.*     :mad:    But even if you're right, and "80%" were there, that still left the rest of the map with 100 people to take bases with -- and thats more than some mornings EST. In fact, the EST "night shift" often is far more effective in real estate grabs than the horde in the evenings.

So, if you liek capture, just get organized -- you can end up with more captures more quickly on this map than most others.






*OK, I am guilty of vulching, but there comes a point....

Wisdom is realizing I will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is trying to not be an idiot right now
