Mindnao hasn't been up in an arena in months now. It was up a lot just after the elimination of the big maps but it's been MIA for quite awhile.

If they wont even put all the maps we have into rotation why would anyone bother making new ones?

BTW, Planes before maps.

wow, for 3 reasons im really surprised:

1) 95% of the planes I see in LWAs are 1of4: spit-P51-la7-N1k, my point being: if this is all anyone flies- why waste time making new planes?

2) I don't know the actual names, but I can only remember 3 maps in current rotation, even if there is more they are all INCREDIBLEY STALE(yesturday both LWAs had the same old tired map, fighting battles in the same old tired spots. I didnt even want to fly.

3) The most players I ever see in EW or MW at ANY time is 30, so it would seem that there cant be too many people looking for plane additions for those arenas.

And as far as maps being made by players, well its nice that players CAN make maps, but it shouldnt be ONLY players making maps, Especially considering how the players betch & whine about whatever they don't like on a new map, what player wants to endure THAT? Just look at the people who have made maps in the past, why do you think they stopped?

The stats prove your're wrong. These 4 planes total about 24% of all planes kills & deaths combined.

No suprise here. Planes are what it's about. Special Events have great maps, but they are totally worthless when it comes to the 3 country land war in the MA. The MA 3 country land grab really limits what you can do with a map, I mean, how many different ways can you slice a pie up in 3 sections and have it "unique"?

Have a slice of pie or hit one of the events that are occuring throughout the week. Try the AvA. There are So Many Options that on any given day there can be 6 different maps to chose from, in any of the MAs, SEA or AvA.

So, with that choice, what would another map in the MA have over new planes to make it worth the HT staffs time to divert resources there?

I've flown or driven 44 different planes and vehicles so far during this camp alone and I still have a few more I want to get into before the camp ends.

I agree some of the maps are a bit stale but continually changing up planes keeps everything a little fresher for me.

More planes.

A PLANE is something to fight WITH.

'Nuff said.

Agreement. NAY If your spending time watching the scenery, then its time for you to leave EW and get a fight!

Still surprised, but glad to see HTC knows what yall want. I've never been part of the majority in these flight sims:D .

As for those of you stating maps are just scenery to fight over, seems to me like there might a strategic element being lost in your opinion. Meaning that base placement in relation to alts, & mountain ranges really does affect gameplay. Fighting over water or flat terrain is pretty boring, and we have plenty of that.

Two of those maps haven't been up in three months. If you were paying attention as you said you were, you would have known that. I've seen the same three maps over the last month. I'm on every day.
