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

[SlapShot]

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.

As far as me ... you couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Over the years I have voiced displeasure/complained/whined about certain aspects of this game, but I never went as far as to insult Dale and the HTC staff thinking that that type of approach will make them stand up ... take notice ... and act on it immediately.

You were rude and insulted these people's work ethic ... on an assumption ("drawing a possible explanation").

Have you ever been to an Aces High Convention ? ... have you ever met Dale/HiTech or Doug/Pyro ? ... these guys are serious as heart attacks when it comes to this game and I would bet the ranch that your style of cattle prodding put you and any suggestion that you may have so far back on the burner it isn't even funny.

I like NDisles. Baltic can be fun too. As long as your in the top right corner or the bottom.

[BaldEagl]

I don't mind Baltic or even Uterus (even though I'm quite tired of both of them) but for some reason I can't stand NDIsles.  I'd rather log off.

With two small maps that everybody has seen over and over, you get alot of 20 on 20 furballs and not much else.

And this is a bad thing?  Three bases in a triangle is all we really need.  Everything else is just gravy.

I have one I'm building for the offline mission makers.  It currently has all custom textures (thanks to Croduh) and custom fields.  It could fairly easily be converted to default(yawn) textures & fields.  Not enough water for CVs though.  If that wouldn't bother too many, I could start laying fields and get it sent in for eval., which I heard is the real pain in the arse and why I've never standardized any of my maps for MA use.  I've read stories here of guys spending mucho time making a map, just to have it turned down.  Anyway,  I'll standardize it and lay a field or two, then post it for anyone that wants to fly around & check it out.

[Motherland]

Beautiful textures! Croduh is the man!

[whiteman]

Thats awesome! wish we had big towns like that to fight in and over. 

[USRanger]

There will be in the offline missions soon

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

Wow just wow, I've been paying and playing this game for 8 years or more. I'd never call HTC lazy or complacent. Just the opposite in fact. I don't even have to attend a con to know that either.

[whiteman]

after the last update and new AC's & GV's,  lazy is not a word I'd use to describe HTC.

[Motherland]

The laziness thing cracks me up. Complaining about not having maps is like complaining about not having enough skins for a plane; both are player created. If you're so fed up, maybe YOU should learn how to use the editor and start making maps?

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

Nope.


What I really find funny about posts from MajorIssue and others of his ilk, is they whine about there not being any new maps and insult HiTech and gang about being "lazy and complacent" when HTC has made the tools to create terrains available to the community.  It is not HiTech and his merry band that is lazy and complacent, it is you MajorIssue and those that while along with you that are lazy.  Why don't you create some maps for the community?  It would be far more productive if you did put your energy into creating maps instead of wasting the energy by creating whining threads.

Best Post ^^^^^

To MajorIssue, seeing as you don't like playing on these stale maps, maybe you could use your spare time building a few new ones. You know, just "whip" them up. I'm sure you'd have no problem rolling them out lets say..... one a week maybe?

I happen to like those 3 maps.  Usually the big ones have 6 total grids taken up by 3 separate hordes.

Waste of a lot of real estate.  The smaller maps make for quicker fights.  The close proximity of bases usually creates more then a 3 horde pick and run.

While I would never insult anyone at HiTech, or be rude to them, let me see If I have this right. They, and some of you, expect the customers to make the game maps?
