I'm getting tired of the "old" maps with totally unrealistic geography. 2k sheer drop ravines that have 2k sheer cliffs on the other side. Artificial 10k mountains around 90% of EVERY field (you know the map I'm talking about

).

I think these maps suck! While it's nice to go down nostalgia blvd (next to Memory Lane), we need to get back to maps with semi-realistic terrain, at least terrain that doesn't prohibit fights, which some of the old maps do.

I'm not saying I want a flat map or anything like that, I just prefer/crave/NEED a decent map that has terrain variation that's NOT totally artificial like the recent exhumation of old AH1-style maps.

Mindnao, now!

FesterMA, today!

Frac3, you'll see!

Trinity, baby!

Ndisles... uh.... er.... D'oh!

Baltic's not so bad, mind you, and I've seen it in rotation with the other maps I don't like, but it's a small map and folks want big ones.

Let's get back to the better large-sized maps. Why are they not in use? Is it a problem with updating the maps after the terrain object or terrain tile updates?

You can fly this map if you can pronounce it.

I've heard it pronounced over vox at least 15 different ways through the years.

But, yes! bring it back, I loved the hills and valleys.

YES please bring it back.. Mind was the first map i ever loged on to and even though it seemed a bit odd as far a base layout it was an exelent map and I see no reason that it should have been removed... Trinity was also a fave..

Is it just me or does it seem that many of the more unique maps have been done away with in favor of more equal (or as equal as possible) and suposidly fair maps? I could be wrong but I have knoticed that HTC seems to love that pinwheel map that gives us the never ending stalemate from hell...

Someone getting tired of the BNZ'ers diving off the cliffs?

I think it's not so much that any of the maps are bad maps, some are better then others depending on what you like to do in the game, but big small or medium in size variety is the spice of life.

there must be a reason why there aren't more maps in the rotation, i'd just like to know why that is, but then ,other then something that looks different, i'd like to see "donut", but other then that, it all good.

Hrm.... nope... I'd go so far as to say SMPizza is a bad map. Beta is a gawdawful map! I think ...yes! I know there are some bad maps!
