However, I can't understand why there is not a new terrain with every tour. There are apparently some very talented terrain builders in the community.

I'm with dega on this one, can someone please tell me why we dont have a new Map for every tour. Hell, I dont want to sound patronizing, but for 30 bucks a month, i WANT a new map every tour. I think we deserve "something new" every tour. Ok - maybe its a tall order for a new map every single tour, but we have plenty of talented map designers out there, put them to use!

I actually think that the lake map is better for no other reason than you can use the GV's more, i havent tried GV's on the other maps but the last time i did or was talking to someone who did, there drive to the nearest base took ages. The new lake map is better because it places the GV's within a sencible driving distance, far enough away to make you work a bit and give defenders a change to take off and defend, but near enough to make the possibility of a airfeild taken over solely by GV a more likely outcome without a hours drive.

Other than that, if the other map was to be changed in this respect, i have no preference. i say get rid of the V bases in the old map and make them like the new map, then itll be perfect

2 cents

This has been asked and answered many times in the past. HTC has yet to receive a map that is large enough and evenly laid out enough for a main arena map.

I have mixed feelings about it.

It is not bad, but unbalanced. The southern country is in the worst position by far. No hi alt fields, all premises lined up.

What I would certainly change is the three moutain ridges and replace them with water space. So three bigh islands. And make an extensive use of mountains, allowing only scarce flat surfaces. That would mean more cannon fighting (fun for GV's and airplanes alike) and having to look for the right spot to ditch.

Cheers,

Pepe.
