I don't do this much.... but...
« on: April 03, 2014, 03:18:20 PM »
here is my little rant/whine/spewingoflogicalreason....

the map that is up now, and the last one, are by far the two worst maps we have... the fights are over Vbases and every lil timid twit and his buddy are afforded the safehaven of vbase ack when they make their 550mph perched pass at you... haven't had one decent engagement in 2 days because of these maps...

rant over....

Agreed, but whining on the BBS does nothing about it.


The solution?

Get higher than those guys and pick them instead.

I agree as well.  I think it's more about the design.  When will Festers map be in the rotation?

the rant/whine was not about getting picked... it would take more than one/two to do that...  it's that the two maps in question have Vbases in between long distances to air bases.... so the meeting of enemies is usually over the vbase... bah... I've said enough about it already.... just disappointing to say the least....  :aok

The maps are a problem. If they are going to run the Himalayan range they should consider air-spawns on certain fields. Upping and flying 20 minutes to get to 20k (because everyone else is 20k minimum) just isn't cutting it.

I really dislike Beta. Those mountains force everyone up high and once across them few want to give up their alt and fight in case they get trapped below the border mountain ranges' height and can't run home. It is also the worst looking map, those roads running along cliff faces ruin suspension of disbelief. Numbers online always seem to be down when that map is up. In fact the only good thing about it is that it rarely lasts for more than one evening.

I quite like Grinder though. Its the nicest looking MA map, lots of CV action and far fewer mountains acting as barriers.

Beta2 was the only map in rotation that made LWB the most 'popular' arena when it was up in LWO. No other map made players move in numbers to the "secondary" LW arena each time it was up.
