Gimme back...
« on: July 01, 2008, 09:56:46 AM »
... the good old weekly map reset.

3+ weeks now on the same virtually unresettable map in LWO.

I'm getting somewhat tired.  :(

And yes, this is a rant, I know ;)

Rant away.  I will not only jump on your bandwagon, I will push it if it runs out of gas.

But won't it just end up being that other map that looks a lot like the current one but smaller?

I agree we need more resets and or maps. But we've all complained about this until we're blue in the face without any results. We all know HTC has alot of maps from the past. So where are they and how come we can't get them anymore? You guys remember the small maps that came out when we first went to the split arenas? Where are these? Were they deleted?Are there too many players to support small maps like that anymore?I'd like to know.
I like the maps in rotation right, but I too get bored with them, and have completely given up on base captures because I can't see the point in it anymore.By the time we get 1 country down on the bases they have and start working on the other country, the first country comes back and gets their bases back.These maps are too big to support 4 different arenas.
EW and the 2nd LW arenas are nothing more then live fire training and milking arenas.I've tryed the MW arena and found it to be 1 or 2 guys trying to defend bases against whole squads.And while you're defending that base, a few will go capture a undefended Vbase in the other sector. :rolleyes:
I'll conclude my rant for now for I don't like to do that too much. AH2 is a great game but it does has a few things about it that tick me off but so does my wife. :lol

Just for clarification... I do wan't to see some of that old maps back (I miss mindanao), but it's not the numbers of maps as such that is my problem - it's the fact that with current war win rules it's almost impossible to reset the big map in LWO (different thing in LWB).
And that results in having the same map up for many weeks.
So I'd just like to see a scheduled reset again. Either at start or end of every TT would be a reasonable point in time.

a map is a map is a map

Perhaps, but some maps are much more fun than others (and probably different maps are "best" to different folks based upon their choice of gameplay.)

I personally hate (Baltic??? I think)  - I feel like I spend half of my time trying to defend/retake the stupid VB near HQ.  It's enough to make me reconsider my usual rule of flying for the side with the least numbers some times...

Lusche, I've given this some thought, and may have a solution for you.

Part 1. Take up a collection of $15 USD each week.
Part 2. Find out the locations of Skuzzy's favorite pizza joint.
Part 3 Contact the pizza joint and pre-pay a pizza (I believe Roy like Roni + Sausage) to be delivered at Skuzzy's office every Wednesday at 11:00 am CDT.
Part 4 Have the following message written on the top of the pizza box with a large, black Sharpie : "Please reset the LW maps or this will be your last pizza. Thank you."

 :D

FWIW I tried one day to send Skuzzy a Pizza, just for kicks :lol
I found a Pizza joint close and called them with the order, but they wouldn't accept M/C over the phone from Australia :cry
