Another rant about maps
« on: June 03, 2008, 02:15:56 PM »
I have posted on this subject before... but the same ol' stuff keeps happening.

As I promised on 200 last night after the reset, my latest rant on maps.


Monday Afternoon: Orange-Baltic, Blue-Baltic
Monday night after Bish Reset: Orange-Baltic, Blue-Uterus

When is sombody at HTC going to get it?!?!!

1. NEVER HAVE the same map in both LW arenas
2. ALWAYS HAVE 1 large and 1 small map in the LW arenas
3. DESTROY/DELETE/OVERWRITE the Baltic, NDIsles and Uterus maps
4. Change up the rotation so that OCCASIONALLY there is something different
5. ALWAYS have a large map on Titanic Tuesdays, and change the map at the conclusion of that "Titanic" event!

Let the usual suspects begin flaming! :P

Of course.. you do not like that maps, so they should be deleted. Who cares if other players do enjoy them...
Maybe we should also delete the planes you don't like? Remove some aspects from gameplay you don't use?

Not long ago HT stated that it should be that way.. seems like ... "someone" ... has forgotten about it  ;)

It is always supposed to have a big map, just did not know skuzzy had not got the memo.

Actually Baltic, NDIsles and Uterus maps are welcome changes of pace these days now that it's typically nothing but a large maps week after week.

I really just wish HTC would do a map change each week when the arena is reset Weds morning. It's nice to have a mix of everything and not just the same map week after week. Sure before the large maps came back those 3 were getting a bit old, but it's not so bad having them now.

The only map that I don't like is the one that we were using last night. Its a giant furball, and that sometimes gets annoying too. I like the thought that Big maps for Titanic Tuesdays.

Way to jump to conclusions "Oh Mighty" Lusche....   Before you get your shorts in a wad you might take a minute to read and think about the initial post. I think that Maj is stating a valid point that some change would be nice in the map selection. I know it takes time to create new maps and all but a quicker rotation of maps or bringing back some old maps would be helpful until new maps can be made.

You may be the only one. Those maps need to be sent to file 13.

I am quite happy with AH and despite a recent update at my old sim I'll be staying here where I think the game and the FMs are better. BUT I REALLY think the maps here---in general--- are not very good. It is obvious to see where the same terrain has been endlessly pasted with their repeated patterns. The maps and terrains could be GREATLY improved to make the game much more appealing. IMO, this is the single greatest shortcoming of AH.  Rather than add new toys they should make a concerted effort to get some good maps. The "pizza" and "magic mountain" maps are, imo, so ridiculous that I will log out rather than play on them. Sorry, great game overall---but others do this aspect better.

Honestly, IMO, the maps are all the same, except for Trinity and NDisles which are the best two in the game due to their tank towns.

He isn't the only one...

I could name quite few maps I dislike, but those three are not among them.

Well that would make me one of the only 2 then, those are 3 of my favorite maps.  Wish they'd bring back Mindanao (at least in the MW) while they were at it.
