I am not at all pleased to see the old MA map's being put back into rotation, they are way to crowded, I supose if furbaling is your bag then this is great, but frankly I dont care for constant furbals, and some of the old maps are just bad for game play the Mindano map espichaly. The New desert map allows for fluid game play and had the best of both worlds, Furbals at chock points and small unit actions around the sides, it was fun again for me to play in the MA, I am not thriled with the prospect of sluging it out on these older smaller maps:(

more maps is better maps

its good to have different maps that focus on different aspects of the game.

the old maps are proven furball generators.

the pizza map is clearly favoring ground vehicles.

We need more of the LARGE maps for a rotation. Going back to the small ones is a dissapointment.

Then go fly in the CT brady. Pretty simple really. Plus, I'd like to see someone in the CT so I could try it. Pretty hard to when is 99% vacant.

Check out the Q&A forum. HT has stated that the old map s were put back into the rotation so that all could compare the style of maps and offer feedback. Also, the Pizza map is undergoing rework and is intended as a temporary map at best anyway.

I like clouds, at least with the other maps rotating in clouds will come back during those particular maps ... I hope ... ya? clouds will be there?

Pizza map is okay but there are a lot of aspects I do not like.

Back door field hopping/grabbing is to easy.

Too many bases to cover with too few people most the time.

Some areas base altitude was kinda a bummer (launching at 8.5k).

The map itself ... a pizza ... or a peace sign. Can't really feel "immersed" when I look at the map personally. Such a perfect lil symetrical world.

No clouds:(

Terrain poorly blends (looking into the distance I see and exact square of ... sand).

Back to the map not giving that immersed feeling, lets talk water. Sueze canals anyone? sheesh. Moats anyone?

But ... there are aspects I like about the map.

Canyons are cool.

CVs can basically reach all over, be in strange places.

Ground vehicle coverage and the vehicles access to general terrain all over is nice.

The single mountain between certain airfields is a fun "point of contention".

But the ndisles, baltic, mandolin ... I like those maps as well with many similar and many different pros and cons.

All in all, good to see them back, better to have map rotations than no rotation imho.

Guess I'm bored. Typed way more than I anticipated

Cheerios,

I for one am very happy to see the new maps in rotation. In fact of the full set, only lake uterus is small enough for the timezone that I generally play in.
