the map joke is getting old
« on: October 04, 2007, 02:57:10 PM »
Please HTC sort out the damn map rotation,you got four areas and its got the same 2 maps up time and time again.

Its getting to the point now i log on see the same horrible maps then log off.
What was a fun game is now getting very old and stale for me.

AT this moment the only maps up are wthe TT map and the uterus map as its called by most.The early arena has 9 people in which is a joke in its self,mid has a few more but not many,but its still the same old maps day after day.we had a tour reset and all that changed was where the  countries were not even a different map.

OK so you are working on combat tour but dont forget about your main aera of income.

After seeing NDIsles (my least favorite map) up in both LW arenas last night, this morning I was seriously considering dropping my account for the first time.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I've been sick of it for awhile now. We all know they have other maps, and why we have to play on the same ones over and over ......well maybe someone could explain this to us?

well for the most part,  what map is up really doesn't matter.  On just about all the maps in ciculation, you can find fights.

Many moons ago, we had only 1 map, and we still thought we were in cartoon airplane dork heaven.

Of course, back then, my BAC was always higher than my hit percentage, and probably my K/D. You could argue that I wouldn't have known if there were 2 maps, and probably be right.

That being said, if I never see Lake Uterus in the rotation again, I wouldn't be upset.

Mindnao! Mindnao! Mindnao!

Bring it back even if the country positions are unfair. U dont even have to update the terrain with the newer versions. Just bring it back!!:noid

When my squads on with some numbers we mostley try to base take and any map is fine with me.  When I'm on alone I like to furball and basically jump around to the bases that offer the quickest action.  The only time I seem to get frustrated is when it's a long flight to fight.

An ideal map for me would have close bases, closer gv spawns...oh, and no uterus in the middle.

I've only been playing a year and am tiring of the maps so I can only imagine what the long-timers are feeling.  Any new map is good in my book.  The one that was just released seemed fun but it hasn't been up in awhile.

On other maps country positions are unfair to:

On Uterus, South and East countries have their starting bases facing another, resulting in instant furballs. meanwhile the West country is free to strike anywhere. Most often the South country is quickly pushed back to its uncapturable bases.

On MidMesa, each country has a Vbase which spawns to HQ - but currently only the South country's Vbase is capturable. A severe disadvantage.

So in a nutshell: YES, bring Mindanao back please! :aok

Whats montis look like? Havnt been flying for awhile. A screen shot would be nice. :D

My favorite map was back in AH1. Was a extremely large map. Had 3 very big continents. One in upper NW corner extending to SW. Another NE to SE. and one from SW to SE. In between were Id say atleast 100 islands (guess). I only saw it reset once. Was some great cv battles and island hopping.
