What's your favorite map

[Devil 505]

I *think* Buster's maps have micro-terrain features which are especially good for GV combat.   In the older maps, terrain elevation changes are at a larger scale, so the terrain is less undulating.  AFAIK it was Buster who made bridges (outside of the ones in towns) crossable.   

I seem to have FPS problems in CraterMA - it cuts my FPS in half from 90 to 45.   I have to disable shadows on that map.   I think its related to the type of clouds.

It's the ultra large bases with the integrated towns. Any time I'm near one, my frame rate drops to being useless.

Heres what CraterMA looks like right now at 12:30 est, #s actually dropped from this morning about 10 players. Action is just too spread out.

The reason most players aren’t seeing Northco is because it gets rolled in 6 hours or less.

It’s a great map, just wish somehow it doesn’t get rolled so fast/easily. 

On a lot of maps with CVs and sea battles Knights don’t defend their bases, but Northco doesn’t have CVs so I’m not sure what the solution is…

It could probably use a couple of more bases on each side along the skinny routes. I can't even tell you if I've ever played that map.

What if instead of just rotating maps by some list that at each map reset the players can cast a vote for the next map.  Some of the FPS games I've played online do this.

Easy to game that though

What's the worst that can happen?  The morning crew keeps choosing the most easily rollable map?  Is that really a big deal?

anyone where CV's come into play, they seem to jump start good fights. Sad to see the CV get sunk some times, but that's part of the game.

Not disputing that, but you should elaborate.  What you say is easy may be something that doesn't cross the mind of some people.

I'm actually all for a vote of map. I think it would allow some of these smaller maps to get played more and would be better during off hours. This current rotation does benefit the weekend #s and players who only fly on the weekends really only get to play about the same 5 maps.

At the very least, it would show the least liked maps among the playing community.

25 perks for the easy rotation of 1 specific map by 1 particular side waffle stomping until the rinse repeat burns them out and they leave the game.
A lack of variety and a lack of challenge is the fastest way to boredom and moving on.

Maybe something like a map can't be selected again for a number of resets, like 3 or 4.  Why would the majority of players pick a map that they thought was boring?  I also think a map should be forced reset if a resounding majority of players vote for it.  Just an idea, but I'm sure you're right there's bound to be issues with it. My thought applies more to primetime hours though where numbers per side we be more balanced for voting. Thanks for replying.

If it requires coding it probably won't happen

If its just a list it follows it seems simple enough to have a vote here..once provided the list...that HT could put in the correct order with duplicates of those that are requested the most
