Remember fellas, maps have to be "player made".  So download the terrain editor or get on some buddies to do it.  That's the only way you will see new maps.

Tons of maps have been created, we saw them once then they left. Remember Festermap ? we had it non stop for monthes, pple yelled, then it never came back. Map rotation should include more than 2 maps.

[Murdr]

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

nope.

[SlapShot]

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.

He may have a point, but his insinuation that the problem is do to 'laziness' on HTC's part is way out of line and uncalled for.

It's been my experience (meeting HTC staff at 2 conventions), that Dale and the HTC staff take their job VERY seriously and if I were an HTC employee, I would be highly insulted and I would 'boot' him not only from the BBS, but from the game too.

the way I read it, sounded like he wasn't accusing them of being lazy but IF they were being lazy its the quickest way to lose customers.

I've seen this happen elsewhere and from a players POV it is really frustrating.  I'm confident as you are that HTC work their butts off (much ).

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!

Not only are they 'lazy' ... but possibly 'clueless' too ... 

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?

That's a clear enough statement for me, if I were an HTC employee. Putting it in the form of a "question" is cute, but clear as glass ... IMHO.

I wasn't trying to ruffle feathers, only pointing out the situation and drawing a possible explanation. Why is someting so obviously simple is not addressed? What is another possibility? 
   The Map for Titanic Tuesday was the SAME as the Orange map was on Monday, then the Wednesday Orange map was exactly the same as the Titanic Tuesday map! I meant no disrespect toward the HTC staff... but an occasional poke with a cattle prod might get a little attention.
   Inattention to detail and taking customers for granted is 100% guaranteed to alienate a customer base... just ask some of HTC's failed competition.
   I love this game and am sickened by something so simple as having a variety of maps to play on, ruin an otherwise great experience!
   So BAN me bro! I am a consumer of this product and live in America where the last time I checked, I had the RIGHT to express my opinion.

Although a bit more pointed of a post than I my self would have created, I do agree that maps should be rotated regularly.  Not just a specific few, but everyone we have available to use.  Variety is the spice of life.  Kudo's to those that are willing to create maps, and sincerely hope you continue to create and submit more for all AH'ers enjoyment!

[Stang]

Toolshedders have no place to hide on the small maps so they cry.  Wahhh wahhh wahhh.

 

[BaldEagl]

I just watch more TV.  I saw Charlie Wilson's War last night... good movie... bad maps.

[Rich46yo]

Yeah your right. Its a fascinating game and everyone in Hi Tech Ive ever talked to has been great.

They still need new maps. That TT I was really looking forward to coming home from work and playing. But when I opened up the game and saw that stale Uterus I almost puked.

We dont even need a lot of them. A few new maps would do the trick.

Sure can't please everyone can ya?

Seems to me there have been some milestone developments in the past month or so. I think HTC is anything but lazy.

With the offline mission capability they have basically created a stand alone game with unfettered access to new missions being created every week and a "mission builder" whose potential is just barely being scratched.

How much effort, time and money went into that?

They could have rightfully charged for that download or made it available only to subcribers, yet they are giving it away.

I don't remember Gates and Co. ever offering a free version of CFS.

Maybe the map issue should be brought up as a suggestion, not a criticism.

I may be just a noob, but I'm pretty excited about the future, can't wait to see what's next!

I have lavishly parised HTC recently for the fantastic work they have done to improve the game and also for the prompt way they address bugs and other issues with frequent patches as needed.

The map issue has been brought up as a suggestion in the past... When suggestions are ignored, criticism is warranted.

Overall, I personally love this game and agree that it the best entertainment value on the WWW!

This map "thing" has been bugging me for some time... and it it no surprise to me that usual "cheese-eaters" are calling for people to be booted from the forums and the game for having an opinion that differs from their rodent-like devotion to the status quo.

Nothing wrong with expressing displeasure in the lack of new maps or how they are rotated in the arenas ... I would have to agree with you on that point, but to insinuate that the problem is due to the HTC staff being 'lazy' or 'clueless' is where you crossed the line as a 'consumer' as far as I am concerned.

You had no right to make those claims, unless of course you hang around the HTC offices and viewed, what you claim, first hand. If not, then it was just a case of you trying to poke HTC in the eye and consumers who poke business owners in the eye don't get very far.

I don't know about anybody else, but as far as I am concerned, you owe HTC an apology ... not for your complaint, but rather for how you complained.
