New Terrain Released - The Grinder

Thanks for the new map.

MidWar may have a bunch of tards and turdletes but this new map makes up for it all.  :rock

Yeah it is a beautiful map.  Well, even a pigs tit would look good if it were new ;)

Now if they could just get us a new map every month for a year then we would have enough in rotation to keep us motivated for well over two weeks  :neener:

No IMG.  It is in Early and Mid war and is apparently slated for Late War.  Named 'Grinder'.   :D

Good elevation changes, seems to have good VBase and spawn arrangement.  Doesn't seem to be long drives.  Nice cloud layers.  Nice beach and water effects.

Large central ocean with 3 small islands, each with an un-capturable port and corresponding CV's.  Outer circular landmass.  There are  other ports as well, each having a spawn into them, something I always felt missing on too many maps.

Definitely has potential, but will require some more play time.  Right now it's new and therefore, impressive, but I'm easily pleased.   :D

The terrain is wonderful, I like how the water colour changes in the delta and the depth appearance close to the shore.

 I actually lured some of my old squad mates out of World of Tanks with the new map in MW yesterday.  Good work HTC <S>.

We didn't do it, MachNix created this terrain.  He did some really nice detail work in there.

Interesting call on the three uncapturable center ports.

And the round shape will confuse those that like to hide cvs in the corner...

WOULD this be a good place to say:

you can have a new map every single week, guaranteed in the AvA?
