Instead of just hitting us with the 'host connection lost' message every time the timer runs out after a reset(or scheduled weekly map change), might I suggest that HTC detonates a series of giant thermonuclear devices, thus wiping out the terrain as well as airspace. It would be entertaining, and would probably not offend detractors of the often debated AH a-bomb because it would never have any true bearing on the game play.
Explosions could, conceivably, be centered at all three HQs, each with a blast radius of more than half the width of the map(well in access of any thermonuclear warheads ever deployed). The resulting effect would provide each player with a nice flash, perhaps some atmospheric shockwave effects(clouds shifting, ground effect), followed by a quick obliteration.
What do you guys think?
