You want boring?  Try not having anyone to fight because everything is rediculously spread out and no one ever sees an enemy plane.  Yeah, that would be better.

you want boring???????

how bout the same small maps over and over.  same fights.  same scenery.  only things changed are lower numbers allowed in 1 arena and no big maps.  (plus ah2 community is now divided)  worst iv'e seen in the 6-7 years i been flying here.  

seems just like old ah2 where there were different arenas you could go too.  cept now maps are boring.

bring back fighter town, tank town and large maps!

or build a large map with all arenas included.  make it so they cant meet.  that way you can stop the complaints.  (to a degree)

Dad I have to agree with you.

We've given it a month and there's been no good result. The hordes aren't any smaller in relation to the number of people in an arena. The perk running is out of this world. I think there may actually be fewer people online. And the community is divided.

Probably the worst change I've seen from HT yet. :(

I have suggested for years that there be an early war arena in the maps that was closed (in some way) to late war planes.... sorta like a fighter town.

there will allways be people who have to have the advantage of the fastest planes with the biggest guns unless they are not allowed to.

I really like the new arenas but the maps are not made for early war planes... fields too far apart.   If you make the fields too close for all the arenas the late war toolshedders complain...   I think that there needs to be early and late war specific maps.

I have allways liked the idea of "areas" inside of each map and we do have that on some.    HT told me years ago that he didn't think an early war area inside the map would work but... that was a long time ago and the amount of players has more than doubled since then.

The solution they came up with was the various, earl, mid and late war arenas.    I am happy with that but still wonder how one arena with maps that had early war areas would do.

Oh... the toolshedders hated that idea too tho.

Agreed.  For all I know, you might be able to tweak the SEA and AvA maps to support three countries (they're all there).  Almost always those bases are closer together.

Sorry, I've just never understood most of the bellyaching about maps being up too long. For me, it's a bit like complaining that the plates you eat dinner off of are boring. It's about the food, not the plate it's served on.

Hmmmm ... there are paper plates and china plates ... food always tastes better when eaten off of china as opposed to paper.

Some maps are paper ... some maps are china.

I remember a short period of time when the center island on Feterma was limited to early war planes. The rest of the map was not. That was a blast!

OMG, I agree with Lazs. Hell has frozen over and pigs are flying!
