NDISLES. UTERUS and BALTIC maps will be the undoing of Aces High

[MajIssue]

As much as I enjoy AHII, the last two weeks make me wonder:

1.What happened to 1 big and 1 small map?
2.Why are we playing on maps that are as stale as 5 year old bread?
3.Why was the map not changed for Titanic Tuesday? Monday's Orange Arena was Tuesday's Titanic Tuesday... again!
4.Is it true that the staff is so lazy that all they do is shut down the blue arena, rename the orange arena to Titanic Tuesday and go home,Then rename the Titanic Tuesday arena back to Orange on Wednesday?
5.There are so many maps available for the arenas, WHY are we subjected to the same old map rotation... time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time...

With two small maps that everybody has seen over and over, you get alot of 20 on 20 furballs and not much else. big hoard vs big hoard... (gee I wonder what's on TV... Or where is that DVD of 12 o'clock high... or I wonder what the other WW2 flight sims have to offer)

How old is Baltic?  (I REMEMBER IT FROM AH1!!) NDIsles? Uterus? OLD, OLD, OLD
As easy as it would be to add a little variety, it boggles the mind how a group of people can be either so clueless or lazy!
The result... a boreing experience and a reason to see what other options are out there.

As hard as it is to get paying customers, lazieness and complacency are the quickest and easiest ways to drive them away!

I love Aces High... but these old stale maps make the experience less than what I would expect from a company like HTC that has consistantly provided a high quality Combat Flight Sim that is more than a game...

I would recommend keeping these 3 maps out of the rotation for awhile and giving us a little variety!! PLEASE!

You are out of order!If you have a complaint about something,you might consider taking a less aggressive approach.

I agree. I think map selection and creation is the weak link in this game.

That and self appointed forum moderators.

Would you be so kind as to show me how I appointed myself as a 'moderator?' 

I simply suggested that he not accuse HTC of being lazy multiple times.  You, and everyone else knows they are hard at working keeping this game up and running as great as it is now.  They simply don't have the man power to pump out CT, new planes, new maps, new gv's, new skins, etc, etc, etc all today or as soon as anyone wants them, and bashing the HTC team isn't going to help either.

Actually I wasnt talking about you. Nor was I "bashing" anyone.

But since you brought it up maybe they need to hire new people then. When was the last time we had a new map?

The maps in question are not good. Never have been and never will be.

[DoNKeY]

First off, that's my bad.  I should have been more specific, as I didn't intend for you to think that I thought you were bashing HTC, as you weren't.

Actually I wasnt talking about you. Nor was I "bashing" anyone.

It's sort of hard to tell that when you pluralized 'moderators,' especially when two people posted above you (IronDog and myself).

Taken from the "About Us" tab.

Contrary to most companies, our goal is to keep the company small.  We know that with a singular focus and an experienced cohesive team that enjoys its work, the production, service, support, and overall level of satisfaction will be unmatched.

Who knows, but perhaps HTC has filled their quota of employees, and doesn't want to hire anymore.  You might say that your (in general, not necessarily you) overall level of satisfaction isn't unmatched because of stale maps, but I beg someone to show me a Flight Experience that approaches half of what AHII is.

5.There are so many maps available for the arenas, WHY are we subjected to the same old map rotation... time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time...

and you keep sending them money

[Soulyss]

Interestingly enough I was just sitting here thinking how nice it's been having those maps in the rotation lately, seems like those maps are conducive to finding nice fights which I've been able to do.

Conversely there are maps that I dislike because all they seem to bring is hording and massive landgrab where trying to fend off 2-4 cherry pickers seems to be the norm. 

To each their own I suppose.

A new map would be a great. There are some maps I just hate to see. We need new maps. I totally agree on this one. A change in terrain would be nice.

[Messiah]

Am I the only one who likes all 3 of those maps? 

[Bruv119]

I don't mind baltic or ndisles,  I think the negativity towards them was the several months of playing ONLY them maps.

Uterus  is my pet hate.  If ever a map was designed for large hoards that is it.  Whoever is down south usually gets hammered.

MajIssue has got a valid point, map rotations are one of the key components to healthy gameplay,  I would like to see a more varied rotation.

what ever happened to the maps that came out right after the arenas were split?
