Same concept as Day of Deafet/quake/unreal FPS but in flightsim form.

I would like to point out that this "Quake" type of gameplay is the spiritual foundation of the online flightsim community and was around 10+ years before Quake.

Like it or not "furballers" are the oldest form of player in AH, when this all started in AW thats pretty much all there was. Yeah there were Buffs and GV's, but 90% of folks furballed. Its the Sim'ers and the Toolshedarz that are the newcomers to this genre.

I just wish they didn't CATER to the instant-action folks by putting the fields on 5k precipices that drop off at 45 degrees (or more). This leads to nothing but being overwhelmed by folks barreling in at 550+mph because they just pulled their gear up and nosed down.

I mean, for crying out loud! It's already and instant-action area!! Make all the bases the same groudn level!

The "folks barreling in at 550+mph" are more dangerous to themselves as to their low speed furballing "targets". Turn a little and watch them auger into the lake.
On the other hand, the possibillity to pick up some speed right after takeoff can be vital when your base at FT is flooded with vulchers as it was in case yesterday for a few hours.

who is "They"?

Most of the maps these days are player created

They = map makers.

We can have tank town without having 5K steep dropoffs and letting the GVs roll downhill. Why can't we have FT with level fields?

Mind you I don't mind FT once in a while, but I much rather prefer the maps like... what's-it-called? Mindnao (the island map) where you get a center area with several supporting A and V fields. It serves the same function but they're actually part of the map, rather than being set apart. Also if one field is shut down there are several in a small geographic area, so it's not a loss.

I loved Mindy.

The smaller maps are the better maps. The hordes have to collide.

I gotta admit, baltic has had some damn good fights. Especially around 41/42 etc... Although it depends on the position you start in. You're more likely to get ganged if you're in the lower right bases.

I wonder why nobody uses SFMA anymore?

See now I HATE the minando map.

But thats just it. Some like some maps and dont like others. And vice verse.
There is never going to be a map that everyone loves and nobody hates

true but I dont see them as catering to anybody.

People complain about maps yet only a few make their own.

If you dont like a particular type of map. Create one you do like and submit it to HTC and you too may get "catered" to.

I dont hate the smaller maps cause the hordes have to collide. I dont like many of the smaller maps cause all it is is one big gangbang/cherrypicking festival.

Actually personally I think we have a pretty good mix of maps now.
I like to do a little bit of everything From Gvs to furballs to baseporking,
Base defence to base taking
The mix of maps provides all this in just enough quantity that I dont get too sick of any one thing
Right about the time I get tired of the large maps. the smaller ones come through rotation. and right about the time I'm tired of the smaller maps. the larger ones come into play.

Seems pretty fair to eveyone unless all you do is live for the furball or live fore the hording.
then about half the time your going to be unhappy.

Such is life
