large maps
« on: February 09, 2007, 11:11:01 AM »
now that the base caputure system seems to be working ok, what are our chances of getting some of the bigger maps back? It would really be a nice change of pace to see at least 1 or 2 of the larger ones released.  Just respectfully requesting :D

I'd like to see an arena that strictly rotates FT and TT...  I know that it would pose problems for the base capturing guys, but I do miss the furballs in FT...  Some of the best time in AH for me were when our squad would all dive in en-masse into the red sea...  Lots of fun!

I too would like to see some of the bigger maps back.

If I recall having read correctly, the large maps were removed when the arenas split trying to put smaller numbers of people in each arena.  The smaller numbers then would not support the use of large maps and that many bases.

However, when the arenas were split we we getting between 500-700 people in the "old main".  Since then, the player base has increased again to where we are now reaching those levels again in the two late wars.  So, reasoning would stand to suggest that we may be able to support those large maps (and still find good fight) again.

How about it, skuzzy?  Might there be a time when the large maps return?  And if so, when?

respectfully,

Numbers?.... Caps will still be something like: 220 LW Orange, 250 LW Blue, and 350 EW and 350 MW.

Ya I don't think they will let the caps go high enough to ever see the big maps again. I'd bet we'll see another LW arena before a big map.

If I can ever get off my butt and finish ComSoPac I hope they'd accept it, as while a 512x512 it would play like a small map because of base distribution/numbers.
