After logging on to the 2 to 1 outnumbered ratio only got 2 bases left nights for the past month, I believe I have come up with a possible solution for this problem.
As you all well know when you get down to your last couple of bases it can sometimes take hours to be reset, as poeple fight valiantly to save these bases. For many poeple though they are just logging off when they see this situation. What I suggest is this. Give the losing country an opportunity to surrender! It could be handled somewhat like controlling the CV. The highest ranking member of the enemy country could propose to the other team a surrender. A message would pop up on everyone in that country's screen much like the message when someone tries to join you as a gunner. It would ask you if you want to surrender Yes/No. Then if a certain percentage say 2/3 of your countrymen agree the map resets. There would need to be a time limit say maybe 1 hour or every half hour that this could be done, otherwise it could be abused and you could be barraged by "Do you want to surrender?" messages.
This could actually be a little more realistic as in any war the losing country usually surrenders before they are completely destroyed. What we have right now is more of a "Scorched Earth" policy.
Anyway, this is my 2 cents. Let me know what you think. Personally I think this could be good for the poeple and HTC as the new guys won't be turned off by being in the hole all the time.
