Get rid of big maps

[Mano]

Another solution might be to change the "conquer the map" requirements for large maps. 15 per cent of opponents real estate and 80 per cent of their own territory for the win (15/15/80).
The parameters could be adjusted for small maps to make them last more than a few hours by changing them to 30/30/90 (like in midwar). Test them and see how it works out.

Big maps during prime time only, then SWITCH to small maps during off hours.  Experiment, and tweak the hours so that large maps may start earlier and end later on the weekends and holidays (gives the off hours crowd some time with all maps).

I believe that HTC still has that coad that allowed them to save the arena status and reboot with a different map.  I could be wrong they might have just shut down one map and restarted it where it left off the next day.  Anyway, if that could be done, it would make for a nice change when maps get stalemated.
