Making a map is fine however makeing one that HTC will aprove for the MA is another story. I was creating a very cool one (IMO) that was a north africa type map however what i took from my conversation with skuzzy over this matter was that i was "SOL" they would never use any map useing sand color for the ground. Even though they will use a sand colored map in the special events arena.HTC says that spacial orientation while flying was to difficult over any sand colored map.Oh well so much for that.

i don't get it? it's the same over water.....and on some of these maps there are plenty of fights ovr water......

Suck it up, first you want big maps, then smaller maps, then big maps AGAIN! Good lord....  :furious :furious

(I'm on meds from being back from the hospital...)
There is only one good fight in this map that we have now. You have to be on the right side of the map just to get to it; it just so happens thats its a carrier fight off 111. Its always the same thing off country "Fight off 111 again.". The big huge map is alright, there is good on both sides, furballin and good GV battles, but just no one will ever win that map. Both TT(Tank Town) maps are alright, as long as they don't take the TT(Tank Town) itself.
I think there biggest problem with the rotation now is because of TT(Titanic Tuesday) which, IMO, is not even worth going to anymore. They play the same map with the carrier fight off 111, and you never swich to another side of the map.

I think what 2fo meant by this is the fact that it makes no sense what so ever to put 2 of the same exact maps in both LW arenas.  IMO..this has been consistant ever since "titanic tues" has taken effect..by default, it gets switched to the big map and stays there.
I agree with twenty, even though we have the same ol maps in rotation, better attention should be made  that the same exact map should  never happen in both LW arenas.

I think it makes perfect sense !! All those people who are complaining about not being able to get into "Blue" now get the joy of flying the same map in "Orange" !!! That way they are not missing out on anything!!! Great plan HTC ! :aok

I think one issue making the maps stale is the lack of the weekly reset.

Oh yea. Well, HTC should do a tour or 2 with only old maps... That would be nice. No TT maps or nothing. Donut, Trinity...

I might be wrong but I thought that a map has to be updated to  the current equipment standard in order to be used. A map that is designed for the update that included the Sdkfz251 and P39 would have to be updated to included the latest version of the game. 

If this is true and the only problem with getting maps like Donut and Fencerma back, maybe a team can be set up to bring those up to current standards.

Skuzzy?  Any truth to this?
