USCH, maybe you should fly with more of an open mind. maybe the cm's are trying new things to encourage people to come in and try it out. not all scenarios work for everyone.
luckily you have 5 other arena's to choose from. its just a little experimentation and i dont think its a bad thing. settings can always be changed if they dont work out. its not a perfect WW2 in the AVA. if it were, you would have more crappy weather and people complaining that they cant see the targets from 25k which is the way it really was. you would also have a shotgun mounted on your computer screen and when you died in the game the shotgun would go off and it would really be game over!
all im trying to say is just give it a try, play it with an open mind and feel free to make suggestions. the CM's are pretty good at listening.
