approx 10 years ago I gave up my ps2 for a pc because i thought it would be fun to actually play against other people online. I did some random searches and somehow found aces high. I was instantly hooked. well after i learned how to take off anyways.
It didn't take long at all to get into it with opposition, there was action generally at any base minus a few of the rear ones. But it didnt really take long for those bases to get their share especially near a reset. YAH! we actually had resets back then.
Maps were small which forced people to fight eachother, forced opposition. Now a days with everyone making these huge maps the game play just seems so watered down. I think i spend more time in tower looking for fights or trying to get to one than i do actually fighting anybody. And once i finally find something as soon as there is a hint that my side is getting the edge the opposition will move on to one of the billion other fields.
The only fix would be smaller maps or making every day like titanic tuesday because split arena's + large maps ='s bunk game play.
