Author Topic: HTC PLEASE do something about the mindanao map! (Read 705 times)

hazed- · « **on:** October 01, 2001, 04:49:00 PM »

Im not saying change it it is a good map BUT the fact is it takes 3-4 times longer to get a reset on the mindanao map(and the islands map for that matter) compared to the others(uterus and baltic)
Im absolutely fed up with mindanao! please could you put uterus and baltic in more often?
something like mindanao baltic uterus islands baltic uterus (repeat)?

Im sorry for complaining but for the last 3 days everytime i log on its mindanao! hardly any Gv action lots of gangbanging from a2 or other high bases.parts of the map are really good but the reset is extremely difficult and therfore more rare.Uterus gets reset in a matter of hours sometimes.

Isnt there any other maps ? what happened to the old 3 sided beta map? how about the pacific map like the one in SEA? could we use the Med terrain in MA?

please anything but mindanao for days on end,

Really sorry for u hazed , I know that feeling very well .

But have to say I like all the maps but the "Uterus" but I do understand that one works better for gv use .

I think most people like Mindanio and don't push as hard for the reset as they do with other maps

What you complaining about Hazed?You should be in a good mood after roasting me repeatedly today in your 190..

hazed- · « **Reply #7 on:** October 01, 2001, 06:51:00 PM »

yeah but sirloin id like to do it to you more often in the baltics and less often in mindanao

hehe

PS all, dont want it removed just want a chance to see the other maps instead of 90% of the time logging on to find mindanao.

yeh, would like to see the old big map (with the beer). There does not have to be water in every map.

Ah yes, but it seems olboreddog needs his CV doesn't he ?

I don't mind Mindanao (it's a Good looking map), but it's true it's missing GV spawnpoints...

I too have a love/hate relationship with Mindanao. It's a beautiful map. There is a nice selection of altitudes. All in all, very attractive.

However, it has two problems from my point of view.

1) The fields are so close together that field capture is extremely difficult, thus Mindanao drags on and on and on. Remove 25% of the fields and you'll solve the problem.

2) The country with the Westmost island has a terrific advantage. It's difficult to attack their HQ and all capture attempts have to start at the neck area. To be sure, you can sneak capture a field, but there's no way to support it once you've got it!

Rather than removing Mindanao, I would prefer to see some fields removed. Don't see any obvious way to fix the West island problem.

I LOVE MINDANAO! Best terrain we have on any map, nice canyons!

Mindanao is great IF you like high altitude fights. So no surprise that the Jug pilots love it.

Mindanao sucks if you like low alt fights.
The whole center tends to be 5 or 6k with 8 to 10k mountains.

I think part of the reason that it hangs around so long is that it is very well balanced. Smaller fields in the center change hands but the farther you penetrate into a country the tougher it is.

I'd love to see more Ground Vehicle spawn points. As it currently is Ground Vehicles hardly come into play at all.
