Get rid of this map

[FLOOB]

Why? It had the only giant squid in the game, furballs around the lake monster were fun.

No you're thinking of the uterus terrain. Mindanao is one island of low poly count angular mountains shaped in a way that seems to bottleneck everybody in the arena into 4 grid squares.

Awww you have to actually fight another horde with your horde, how sad for you.

I wonder if one NOE whord has ever accidentally run into aNOTHER NOE whorde? Do they just tip their hats and go on about their whording, or do they throw the gloves down and fight?

I love a good furball and hard hitting base defense  My K/D ratio shows that.

This map for some reason has caused intense and nearly continuous attacks and counter attacks all of which is great fun but an ugly side turns up.  The tension of the contentious, and often out of balanced attacks and counter attacks makes for short tempers.  The vox was filled with, "You stole my kill", "Why didn't you call my 6"and a rise in harsh profanity about bad guys and good guys.

I know when I quit last night, I was tight as a tick and hoping this map would end before this evening.

If 300 players on Mindanao causes you even to raise an eyebrow, you have never played on it back in the day with 500+ on it

If you want a new map, earn it by taking some bases.

So true. The fun maps always reset so quickly that I rarely get to enjoy them.
It is a simple statistical rule. If maps rotate randomly, you are most likely to login when there is a stagnant, boring map.

When I play there are usually 250-300 players online. The small maps are the best. There is less hording because every base can attack and be attacks by several (air!) bases. In some of the newer (and large) maps, there is a linear progression of base taking due to arrangement and the horde just move along the string of bases. There is often little option of assisting the defense of a base from a nearby base, because all the neighbors are Vbases.

No it's this MAP Lake with giant Squid use to be what is now A38 but going back to AH1 days. So maybe before your time.

No!

Every map has something that you may not like.  We have already lost one map recently, that frankly I enjoyed.  It was different and had different challenges.  Let's not lose another..............then another............and we will be left with.............?

This map has exactly the same thing that all of the maps have, it has blue sky above it for all of us to fly in.

Everyone is my friend

flower power!

This map is great fun except for the 20k lancs that stroll in and shut down the fighter hangars... no attempt to actually take the base, just fly 60+ minutes to stop a fight. 

I guess this is fun for some?

This is actually my favorite map because i have a legit chance of flying 163's. i very much dislike the huge maps.

It's fun for me because I have had the patience and forsight to be waiting for them at 25k when they hit the dar ring inbound.

I think the map we have now should be moved to the Mid and Early war areana only as it is to small for MA use...
It is nothing more than a huge furball in there....

I must disagree, after that last map we had for a week, the last couple days have been AWESOME!

Got to agree with this.  Being able to easily find a gaggle of enemy to interact with the last couple days has been refreshing.

Heaven forbid theres fighting in a combat flight game..

 

Kind of reminds me of the line from Dr. Stranglove, "Gentlemen. You can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"
