Next War?
« on: August 02, 2008, 10:33:22 AM »
 Are we still working on further development of the arena? And if so , any idea when the next "war" cranks up?

Of course, notice how the current setup is vastly superior to the previous few months. The quality of players and game play is a real step up.

For those wishing more reality, I fully encourage you to log off immediately after your first death, thereby realistically simulating your virtual demise.

We're waiting for the next one as well. Would be good to get an update.

  He's a very mad super-gorilla that can pick up trains and get down with the hot blondes.


  Who are you?  Exactly?   :D

I'm interested also.  Hoping for a lighter weight war as a backdrop that promotes good fights to achive objectives.

Sorry, BlkMgc if you aren't getting the answers that you were looking for.  I am glad to hear that others are interested as well.  This is a good discussion that needs to be aired.  And if we don't jump to conclusions, or have tape recorder arguments, we should be able to get some answers about upcoming plans.

Discussions that I have read on this matter, so far, hint towards a "lighter" war setup.  I would like to hear what that means to you.  In your opinion does lighter mean:

  • Shorter
  • Less Strategic Targets
  • Less Importance of Win Criteria
  • Less Furballing
  • Less Field Capture
  • Less Departure From Default Settings

By the way, has anyone been watching the Military Channel's Showdown series :rock ?  Great stuff and what I envision when I think of the arena.

I don't know that it needs to be less of anything. I suppose its really up to the setup. I'd just hate to see it devolve back into an allied vs axis MA like it was (ala WWII arena in Warbirds which also holds little to no interest), especially after all of the progression that was made.

seems to me, when the arena is the most fun, its a Axis Vs Allied MA. every time someone makes it something of a bombing arena or something realistic, people leave. arent we supposed to attract players??

The problem has never been the AvA; it's always been a lack of interest among the player-base, especially when you don't have P-51s or Spits.
