before they "updated" it to AH2 standards and made it look like every other map. The noobs never got to see it, and no one else seems to remember...

The cool blue water, and wood decked cvs.

Dirt landing strips and totally custom bases.

Palm trees and sandy beaches.

This one was fun to cap.

I tried to get a shot of battleship row but couldn't find it. Its a shame how much time Fester must have invested in making this map and it only saw a few months use. Everything custom from the airbases to the resupply barges, there were even mini tanktowns between the gv bases....... Anyone else getting tired of terrain that all looks about the same regardless of map?

~~Fester for making the coolest map EVAR!~~

yep, that was the best looking map ever before it got clobbered with the AH2 tiles.

I'm sad that the "Pacific" maps in general are so Euro-centric in their layout and appearance.

Wholly pop up ads, batman

Yea, the maps we have now all look alike. Some new maps, tiles, yada yada would sure make for some nice eye candy

WHAHHH?!?!?!?!?!?!

why the heeeell did they get rid of that thing, looks so awesome! i really hate a lot of the maps at the moment, they take no advantage of AH's graphics power. all the mapas are so boring. we need lots more tiles in better detail, with individual air strips and cool stuff like beaches and things.

HT needs to launch a map team like they did with the skinning team, it would bring SOOO much more to the game, and not take HT any more programming time.

the only thing bad about AH graphics are the terrible maps, all the same, same airfields, same tiles. would be great if we got some new ones

Another idea I would support would be a map building contest smiliar to the commercial contest...Change the prizes around though...Maybe anyone who's map has been selected for the MA gets 3-4 months subscription etc? I dunno...The old OZKANSAS was awesome...bring back good maps

agreed. th water we have no reminds me of the Hudson river.
All thats missing is the pollution floating around

Yes, new maps would be good.

It would also be nice if that $#@% map editor was more user friendly. A fellow squaddie is working on a new map now, and is a lot more tech-savvy and patient than I am, but even he says it's a ^#$%^$@! program.

Look guys. We miss alot of the details that made AH1 alot of fun. But you have to consider that ever since AH2 came out HTC has been hard at work on TOD (now CT), and updating the planes. There have been a few improvements here and there, mainly where functionality was concerned, but those 2 things have been the major focus.

Combat Tour is almost here. Once thats done I'm sure you'll see lots more stuff getting updated. Much of the planeset still requires updating, and there are holes to fill in the lineup. The map editor needs some tweaking.

Fine.

Put it in the wishlist forum and let it go. Be realistic. And if you cant, then at least consider that none of you can do it any better. Since you cant contribute to solving the problem, at least make your whines a little more creative so as to provide some entertainment value.

It'd be nice to have some new buildings to look at in the MA... maybe some bridges and stuff too. That isn't exactly out of the question... I've seen plenty of screenies with cool buildings, and some of the SEA maps have big bridges and stuffs.
