Sorry for the caps.  Life wasn't bad before the upgrade, now Gving u get the added joy of driving across nearly flat landscape with the added bonus of getting ranged 5k away. WHY did u get rid of the hills? Vehicles r exposed over large areas of terrain. Would it be so difficult to put a tanktown in EVERY map without the silly little spawn in types? The tank town where each team gets 3 v bases and an airbase is perfect. Not everyone enjoys driving 10 minutes to a base in some cases, nor do they have the time every time they log on. The trees r excessive in the new maps, and the hills are nearly all gone. I hope this isn't the final upgrade because if a person likes GVing these maps are a major disappointment. If all a person does is fly a plane your good to go, who cares.  :furious I'm giving this a couple weeks to see where it goes and hopefully it will be in a more positive direction. I don't know who's advice you took to implement these changes but it doesn't seem like you asked anyone that uses GVs a lot.
Full throttle, high gear...don't camp. Easy stuff.

How many maps have circulated since the upgrades? 2 maybe 3? If you're not flexible enough to adjust to different terrains...it's your loss.

The only difference with out the hills is that there is a higher turn over rate at the spawn campground. More people dying more often on all sides.  So no, there will be no more 30 - 50 kills per sortie in a tiger hiding in a hole.  Personally I think that all gv spawn on spawn locations should be removed.  Half the time one spawn is facing in the wrong direction making it impossible to fight out of a camped situation.  I.E you spawn in facing west and the enemy spawn is to your side and you have no time to manuver either your tank or your turret.
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

The only people squealing about the new / old style of GV'ing are the habitual campers.  Perhaps a fresh out look is all that's needed especially if you have the ability to fire on the move. 

Not to worry though campers ...they're chucking in some taller hedges so you can whack a mole till hearts content  :rolleyes:

This was on another topic so don't worry they are on top of it.

Regarding the hills, we removed them because we were having a lot of trouble getting them to look right with the new way the terrain is displayed, so we've removed them for now.  They will most likely be put back into the game after we get the major stability issues cleared up, and we have time to work on the smaller issues.

The hedgerows will be fixed with the next patch that involves an art update.  I had accidentally made them too small.  You will have plenty to hide behind soon enough.

I quit because the ground game sux, and the new terrains on low res look freaking pathetic...

Still ghosting around waiting to see if they actualy intend on doing anything about the new terrains, or just want the folks who can afford graphics cards as customers...

Id love to see them headline that they are throwng out the new terrains because they sukk, but I seriously doubt its going to happen, geeez... so much time wasted on a terrible product. :mad:

Someone needs a new Nuk and a better computer. The only terrible product so far is what you've been skating by playing this game on...step into the 21st century with the rest of us geeks...and get a better computer.
