Fester map- fix it, or take it out of rotation,plz

[ghi]

 Nothing personal with you Fester,  you know I always admire your skills and contribution on this game;
 but I'm paying for this game for over 10 years to have fun; I"m off this weekend want to have fun; there's nothing fun on a map stupid designed; impossible to defend and resup.  HQ without radar, and the radar bug was not fixed also; common I'm paying healthy $$$ , we need healthy, bugs free map;

[DREDIOCK]

I'd have to agree. As much as Fester is renowned And I respect him for not only making great maps. But also in putting in the time to do so. Nobody is perfect.

This map badly needs to be redone. On top of whats already listed its hard to read let alone fight on.

At least zigzag the bases and add a couple of more airfeilds. Or relocate the GV bases around the parimeter like the original Pizza map had them and put in a few more airbases where the current GV base lines are (still zigzag the line though)

There is something up witht he dar bars lately....they wont be showing any cons then I fly to a field and hit 3-4 at 10K, all the sudden darbar comes back. Also this map doesn't play down very well....what I mean is if you don't have detailed terrain turned on...you can't tell what is water and what is ground. Literally the ocean looks like a crap pond

how about you fix your warping problem ghi....

As far as dar is concerned the bar always shows when the enemy is outside of its dar ring or when a friendly is near to the con. . . Quit gripping about your lack of access to easy mode and fix your own problems first.

He doesn't warp...the neg g push just looks unrealistic...kind of like a stick stir.

[glzsqd]

He does warp. I know the difference between the neg g push and a warp. Wouldn't mind as much if he didn't just flat out deny it

lol you dam girls and your BS in here......

I think that the map has issues, I wished they would be addressed.  The radar not working is big issue on this map given the location of the city and HQ.

Perhaps you guys are right and there are two many bases in the middle but I need to say that I like the non-systemic nature of the map.

• Fix the radar - an HTC issue?
• Fix the colors - (also an HTV issue - I say this b/c Fester has said that some colors were changed (by the system?) after he turned over the maps)
• Reduce the number of center bases - Fester

(I think that the radar went "bad" a few years ago when HTC moved hosts (I think that that is what they did), radar never worked the same after IMO.  Maybe the system refresh parameters for the radar was changed then?)


Over all I like the map.  However, I can see why some would be a little worked up about it.

Man, this is honestly my favorite map on rotation. Great fights and action all around for all styles to engage. The only thing is the HQ strength and the color of the dars. Other than that, I don't see how there is an issue with this map as far as action goes.

Seconded.


The main issue with this map, as with EVERY SINGLE MAP IN THE ROTATION, is the stupid HQ griefing...

Agreed

Even with the dar issues, it's easy to see enemy coming to hit strats and hq if you are actually watching.

I understand the guys who only up once a dar bar is in the same sector as a strat will have troubles with a spotty dar but it's easy to watch a dar bar slowly work it's way over the course of 1.3 hours from a rear enemy field to your strats.

So what if the dar bar disappears near the strats, you just have to use some simple deductive reasoning that the planes that have been heading to your strats for the last hour are probably still there and still at 30,000 feet.

If your "strat defense" consists of only upping after dar is within 2 sectors of your strat, you have failed.
