This I agree from the point of view of fairness.  On this map there will be no hiding of CVs either :D.

However, I think that while symmetry offers fairness, it might limit creativity... let's say for the Mindanao map, while it was unfair in certain respects, there was different taste for invading or defending different parts of the map.  I myself wouldn't mind a lopsided map, as long as the winning team in the reset before is placed in the least favorable position on the map :D

Ouch! Will be interesting to see how this pans out.  :eek:

So, how does a country Win?

Do all 3 island zones have to be won to 'Win' ?

Once an island is Won, is that it for that zone? Or will ebb and flow mean re-takes and an endless fight?

Like to know - 'cos it looks like a 6-10 week war at least. Will maybe need the organisation and strategy of a scenario !

btw, Can HT accommodate 1000 people logged in to one arena at once ?   :D

Yeah, that's true... of course, there will always be the whiners who reckon their country always gets the least favourable part of the map.  Must admit, I do like Mindanao's irregularity....  :)

I don't like this map at all. First of all theres way too many bases meaning that a bomber is going to try for a bombing run, but will be killed within the first 5 minutes of trying to get some alt. I agree with Cavalear totally, The Mediteranian, South Pacific, etc.  The only way I would get to like this map is either at least half of the fields were taken off or only the fields in 1 of the 3 sections could be captured. I like the map AK's CURLY & NIMITZ!, but not for MA purposes. Way too many fields. to all. Cav write back.

You need to remember that the map is four times the size of the ones we have now... Those bases are nowhere near as close together as they look.

We tried to keep the fields are at the same density as the current MA maps.  No closer than 0.75 sector, no farther than 1.5 sectors on average.  Each of the sector squares on that map are still 25 miles across.

Except for the outer gv fields in the "Dune Sea".  But they have remote spawn points
to put them close enough for an attack.

I think the large maps will better accomodate both those that  want to furball and those that want to play more strategically by land grabbing.

Winning the reset is fun but not necessary to have fun. If you are goal oriented there are four zones per country, 3 of which can be captured. These should offer a challenge.

There's no way they could already know of the secret underground bases with spawn points to all the large fields.  :D

It looks really cool and it's going to be great to try out. For all you "chicken littles" -- chill dudes! The sky isn't falling just yet. If there turns out to be unfixable problems with the map, or if the gameply isn't what was expected, then the fix is pretty simple and quick at HTC's end.

thought just crossed my mind when ra mentioned the perma furball at a1...why not have people log on to different fields on the frontline everyone won't log on to the same field but they'll be distributed as evenly as possible along the frontline fields.

another thought... on a map this big and with sides capturing/ losing fields this will probably take some time to win sooo how about some easter egg type stuff like the giant squid to help entertain the masses? another thing that crossed my mind... hopefully none of the maps will have a gangbang area like ndisles that all sides hate.
