ND Isles - who else can't stand it?
« on: November 11, 2001, 03:26:00 PM »
I thought it was just me, but it is very unpopular among the guys I've talked to.  My complaints are that the distances result in  a giant furball between each country, and if I try to fly my C.205 to a smaller fight somewhere else, I have to turn around and come right back to get gas.  This map also seems to kill us on spawn fairly regularly, and won't let me record films.  It is so frustrating that several of us just wait for the next map in the rotation before playing.

Anyone else?

I agree.  I say if the war hasn't been won in a certain amount of time, the map is rotated automatically.  Anyone else agree?

oct out!!

I don't mind it too much, like all the map's too much of a good thing gets old. The fields for the most part are not realy any farter apart than the other's on other maps, it just seams so. I like the CV aspect and the watter, the nead to use goons more often, and the slightly longer drives for GV's adds a different aspect to game play. I also like how the strat facilitys are spread out and avalable for atack, at least more so than those on some of the other maps. barges or convoys( ship) for suplying these would be cool to see in the future.

ND Isles and Lake Uterus are almost tied for last in my book. Neither one of these maps is real interesting to me. At least the Lake seems to reset a bit quicker.

Either Isles last forever or it just seems like it does.  ;)

Better strat, more conducive to missions, ability to get to alt b4 an attack.  Vulching reduced due to range.  CV's more useful.  And the main island is always good for GV battles and furballing when I feel like it.

I like all of the maps we have.

I think a rotation through all of the maps really rounds out the perk system HTC has in place, and gives us ample exposure to several aspects of war gaming that you can't get anywhere else.

Whining about the map indicates to me that you haven't found a way to fit in on the current map. That is a trait common amongst many of our newer members. The Bishops should have had this map reset on at least three different occasions, but there are still a lot of people that don't even know what reset is!

If, you don't like flying far to find a fight, well then start a fight in one of the many locations where you have a closer field. This is not hard to accomplish.

If, you don't feel like capturing fields and would prefer an endless furball, well that's available too.

StSanta, I have to counter that those same 'CV Dweebs' have some of the greatest fun this game can provide. Ship-to-ship battles, while simultaneously holding off suicide turds, is a great deal of fun; and then there's field assaults from the fleet. Man, you just can't get that in any other game! I love it.

After the AW guys get settled in, and get used to cooperation, this reset idea is going to rock!

I like the ND terrain.  It brings in the use of CV's more, and the layout is nice.  What can I say.   :)
