The map is 2 days old, and we still have about the same amount of players in the arena at any given time as we normally have.
To me, the large map and the revised strat system are an indicator of how BIG this game is gonna get.
Sure, it's hard to locate one another on it, cause we aren't used to it yet. (Was giving my squaddies grief the other night with my "Where the hell is AXXX at anyway?" on VOX)
But at the same time, you can still find a furrball if that is what turns you on, you can organize small raids and take bases if that is what you want to do, or you have much better odds of finding a one vs one or maybe one vs two fight if that is what floats yer boat.
This map has ROOM for it all, and it's gonna take a while for all of us AH lovers to get familiar with it.
