I think maybe Curval is confusing view zoom with map zoom.  If you view zoom full onto a map, it'll get really big but just as cluttered.  It's a common mistake I bet.

Goodness...maybe someone spiked my orange soda on Sunday...but...

In the Malta map all four of the enemy bases were clustered together in the same square/sector...on Malta!  It is a tiny little island.

Sorry Hitech...I should have done my homework before sprouting.

it is levi

I dunno know how mant times yesterday I let folks know how to zoom correctly. Most had been in ah for a bit.

I am still confused curval for the same reason as HT.

insert delete will keep the clipboard the same size but will zoom the map all the way into to 1 25 mile sector. There are no bases in any of the maps I have seen that have 2 base so close that when zoomed in, in the manner I described, would be as cluttered as to cause such an overlap of base numbers.

My apologies if I am totally misunderstanding you.

S! I hope you get it figured out.

EDIT

sorry posted same time :)

It wasnt as bad as ya thought eh?

What do you mean the pizza map is not historical? My family has lived in Pizza for generations. (OK, my mother’s side is from Corndog, but we try to keep that quiet.) This map is absolutely accurate. I played in those crazy canyons as a kid. See that little building next to A113? That’s daddy’s doublewide. And how dare you call our homeland ugly. Seeing those high desert plains again after moving away brought tears of nostalgia to my eyes. And we’ve always been proud that our country is large -- what do you want, Liechtenstein?

I demand that this assault on my country, it’s culture, and it’s people stop immediately.

Ok.. I feel like the canary in the coalmine here but I have a very low threshold for boredom and....   I was bored.

more new stuff than any release and a bigger change.   I was bored tho.   I left early.   I got tired of flying around hoping to find a 3 or four plane furball.    10 kills per hour is way different than 2 or three.    I don't know if it will get better but I don't really see how with a population of like 2 players per field.

All I seen was a bunch of guys milkrunning fields.   Addmittedly, I don't care about "strat" but taking undefended fields doesn't seem like a lot of fun to me even for the strat guys.

Please don't tell me that it was a thrill a minute for you and jam packed with dozen or more plane furballs...  I didn't think that finding a fight would be the new "skill".

There has never been anything remotely historical about any MA in any game, with the possible exception of WWIIOL.

I've never been interested in WWIIOL.


I want to log on on a weekday for a quick kill or two; and spend days/weeks planning for an event.

A fun MA and a healthy events regime fit that perfectly.


Seeker captured my thoughts precisely...

I am really hoping that this map for the MA will entice folks to fly in the CT.  I have attempted to fly the combat arena but due to lack of numbers I always end up back in the MA.

I do wish someone would modify the terrain to a European or Pacific theme...  The desert terrain gets very boring and is hard on the eyes...

I bet if the map was green, all of the whining would stop. Yellow/Brownish is an irritating color! It also induces hunger, which is probably why I got up to go get something to eat a few times last night (or was it the long flights in those slow early war aircraft?) Anyway, if the map was green, it could be called the "Green Peace" map :D ... And all of those vehicle fields in the canyons, it must feel like a really slow version of PACMAN(TM) when driving around.

But I like the idea that, with this map, HTC plans to grow in its customer base to possibly a thousand players per night. But, with less than 500 players last night, the latency is unstable. I'd say it's time for a new server, but we'll see what happens through the weekend.

Well, After reading all the arguments, I find two general camps on this topic.

Camp A: The map is too busy, too ugly, too high and not remotely historical.

Camp B: Everyone who doesn't like the map is a whiner and should go to the CT.

Personally, I thought the map was terrible when it was first shown a while back. The guys in camp A are exactly right. However, it is diverse, it is different and it can and will be fun for many players.

What this map will do is begin a mass exodus to the CT by individuals and squads whenever it rotates around. I'm going to encourage my squad to head over to the CT when the "pizza" map rotates in.

You see, if you don't like it, there are acceptable alternatives. Case closed as far as I'm concerned.  

My regards,

I agree 100% with Lazs.  

I don't mind the "pizza map" itself--in fact I like it (it's a great change of scenery and I LOVE different altitudes)--but I think there's just too many bases for the player base AH has.  Net result is too many people attacking undefended bases.  

Perhaps this will change with time, perhaps not.  It's worth a try.
