... but this is going to be a whine.
Last night was my first return to a small map since Trinity was launched. Oh boy did I hate it. Last night 500 people was fighting over what? ... 5 or 6 airfields. It was just a constant gangbang. I'll take the dreaded Pizza map over any small map any day when 500 people are logged on.
I guess the furballers had a ball, by my fun comes from "surviving" and ACM rater than buzzing around an AF with 50 other guys, getting perhaps a kill or two then dying, or endlessly trying to grab a kill when there are 10 other guys on every bandit in sight.
The previous time I was logged on was on Trinity. An excellent map, but I understand if people are getting sick of trying ... and failing to reset it. Anyways, there were a few furballs, but there were always other minor conflicts for the likes of me. Found myself a nice little fight not far from the front. A couple of guys were trying to pork our AF and we had two guys there trying to defend it ... perfect. I upped my trusty old 109 with DT from a neighboring field because the bandits had already porked our fuel. Flew over there and began what would become a two hour sortie for me. For two hours 2-4 other Rooks and I fought off an equal number of bandits trying to cap our AF, and they were good too. We never managed to press the attack over to their AF, but the battle swayed back and forth as people got shot down and the numbers got uneven. I was GREAT! I didn't get many kills in those two hours, maybe 10 or so, but I "survived", rearming 5 or 6 times and the ACM was of top quality. Of course in the end a warp/bug got me, teleporting an La5 from d200 12 o'clock to d100 6 o'clock, which soured the whole experience for me and took the wind from my sails so to speak, but aside from a poor ending it was just my best two hours of AH in recent memory.
We NEED more big maps where everyone can find the fights they want.
Again, sorry for posting such a blatant whine.
