A pizza map vote on suckiness!

[lazs2]

I log on when the pizza map is in rotatation but I know it is the pizza (or nightime) even before I see it because of the low numbers.... I give it a try and look for a good fight but even if I find one I know that it will be a long time till I find another when that one is done so... I log on and as soon as I can't find a decent fight I log off... saves on frustration.

carve the bottom third of the monster off and make it an earlyu war plane only area.

Pizza map has been a huge contributer to my increase in rank in WWIIO.

It's not fun for folks ... when has any map been complained about as much as this?  

Remember when HTC put out sfter with that 10k field A1 ... when they rerealeased the map months later ... a1 was set to a normal alt ; I thought they learned the uber alt lesson there.....
there were very few high alt bases in the war (from my info) and i think they make for bad gameplay anyway .... it's the alt and color ...
the only fun fights i have in pizza are over the water.   and since most people who feel like me fight at water bases- they are quickly captured leaving you with a bunch of crappy 7-11k fields ...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

another pizza whine brought to you by Pizza the Hut (from spaceballs)   Don't lock me in the limo!...mmm that arm looks tasty

BTW Kappa is a normaly level headed ... he only goes crazy when he can't get his AH fix because of pizza

So I ask HTC,  Has any map ever been complained about this much?  Maybe we have a point.

we'll be back next week same whine channel same whine time.
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na pizza! Pizza! PIZZA!

There are some good sides in it. (not as cramped as other maps, leaves you a choice in what you can do)

But

A - Colours needs to change.
B - Altitude of fields need to go down.

I mean... we already had a 10K field on the after-beta map... we all whined and it was taken out... why put up 10-12 k high fields again ?

Get rid of it pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dislike the Pizza map ...  It reminds me of the story my Dad used to tell of his childhood where he swore he walked ... " 20 miles barefoot in the snow to go to school , and it was uphill ...both ways ."

I've always assumed this was a simulator program of sorts ... but please name for me the Terrain being simulated ? Find a place on this planet , of some 274, 000 square miles ... with  ground level altitudes from sea level to 15k , huge gorge canyons ( with no simulated up and down drafts inherent with cliffsides ).. without so much as a patch of snow at the top , a single creek/river , or a single tree , with the need for 220 + bases to defend this wasteland .  For all the sense this map makes as a theatre of war , you could've saved a lot of time by making the ground/sky all black ... and renamed the planes to Jedi-7's and Darthfires .

You COULD have made it slightly more believable if you had put in OIL facilities ; derricks , refineries , pumps , ports ,  tankers... so we could at least rationalize why we are fighting here . ( plus having some fun strat targets to boot .. gimme incendiary ord ! )

And yeah , i bought a 64m DDR dual cpu video card so i could fly in CGA color for a week .

There is no winning the Pizza map .. only surviving it .

/sarcasm off

Okies .. i STILL fly the map , but it IS my least favorite .

Be well ,

Absolutely. My solution? Just remove it and lets rotate with only the old ones.

The map is too big. The map sucks. The map sucks, but to make it worse, HELL is almost over and Skuzzy resets the map. Darn skuzzy, I suppose you couldnt have just changed it? HTC, PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ update the freaking map if your going to use it! PLZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I liked it at first, I must give a strong suckiness vote on the pizza map. Most of the cities are located beyond sight of the bases, and having so many bases makes it almost impossible to defend.  Being large spreads out the action a bit more, but the milk running and base capture by a couple GVs is getting rediculous.

The color gets to be a bit hard on the eyes, and some have complained that it gives them headaches. The canyons are impressive, but much too pervasive. The layout, although fair for all sides, is unreal to the point of being silly (pizza/peace symbol). The idea of having so many players in a single arena seems to be straining the server. Warps and slow downs are getting more severe. (Smaller with more arenas may be better.)

Having a desert terrain with some canyons is fine if there was more variety, like some mountains with snow, rivers, lakes, areas of vegetation, and a less bright color, or greater variety of shades. I don't think a perfect area balance for all sides is so important since they are assigned randomly.

Well when I log on and see the map I know Lazs is workin on his car, Apache is playing WWIIOnline and count on Rickt being there. If there is a fight, Rickt can find it

Always end up flying a couple but...

it blows goats.......

Pizza is the only map that caters to the non-furballing crowd--there's something for everybody here..as opposed to Mindanao..log on..see Bish have the west-aGAIN....about 5 sectors with 467 planes in em...no place to drive GV's..NO room to grab in heavy bomber..DAMNED few bases to attack/grab from CV....Yall have become creatures of habit...do somethin different fer once!

[BUG_EAF322]

Sorry but i love the pizza map
other maps are to small.
