BigJoke map...errrrr Bigisland Map

[HawkerMKII]

WTG on the hard work in making a map, i know its not an easy thing to do . I HOPE THIS THING IS GONE ON FRIDAY!!!!

Please do some work on this map before we get it back,,,,,,way to many PT spawns, spawn points to the middle of the water??

I am sad to see that many people wont fly the big map anymore and a few of my squad member wont. Are these BIG map what we are going to see from now on?? Sorry to say i hope not, but i know i am wrong.

Yes..it will be gone after the maint work is done tomorrow. HT has a revised version in house now (we dint talk about what changes were made). The next map should be Infinity II.

If you want to see the big maps go away, then do what you can to make AH fail. Of course that is a double edged sword...make the user base smaller and get smaller maps...HTC gets less money and goes out of business. Do the math .

If you dont like the maps.  Sit down with the terrain builder and make one then submit it to HT.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with a MAW But I do...build your own and submit it..I'd be willing to bet that some won't like yours either... as the saying goes "You can make some  people happy some of the time but you can't..etc etc" you get the drift I assume...LOL

I really wish you guys would give these mapmakers a break.

They take their time and energy to improve on gameplay and it's fair to criticize and make suggestions but there's no need to be insulting.

To all the mapmakers we appreciate your efforts and thank you for making aces high a better gaming environment.

It's really funny reading the whines concerning the new maps.  A couple of years ago in AW3, the only way to see a new map was to fly in a different arena.
If you think you can do a better map then go ahead, and don't give me that I pay 14.99 stuff.  Considering how much time was spent on this code and the constant improvements that are made to this product, it is a steal!
Just my opinion.

I guess we have to live with the map whining, but that is no big deal.
Atleast we have the map rotation that switch maps every friday and I think that was a brilliant solution.
There is no way everyone can be pleased by all maps, we all have our favorites and hated ones

stick with it or stay out the period your hate map is on.
(mine is akdesert not because its a bad map but because i cant see properly in it, im paritally colourblind and somthing in that map is bad for me)

[Gremlin]

to the mapmakers.  You are doing a great job guys.  Keep up the good work:)

[Swoop]

yeah, besides I think Big Isles is very, very good.  Once all the bugs and minor issues are solved it'll be the best map we have. IMO.

If beating me with a stick is doing me a favor then... don't do me any favors..

All the mapmakers have one thing in common.. they favor one type of gameplay and late war planes... they all feel that 2 sectors between fights is lovely and 10 minute flights and "missuns' and gangbangs are the way of the future.

they don't represent the action crowd at all.

In fairness... If there is a cv fight in the "bigisles" then all is well... If infinity is revised it may be ok too.   have to wait and see.

I think that the BigIsle map is GREAT !!!

Yes it does need some tweaking like NoBaddy did to Trinity (Trinity II), like changing some of those one-way to nowhere GV bases to airfields to cut down on most of the 2+ sectors flights to the action.

There are still a few bugs left, but none that are real show stoppers as far as I am concerned.

<> To the map makers ... keep up the good work.

I personnally like the bigisles map.  When I first saw it I thought wow a great PTO style map.   This will be great for carrier battles and for the manly blue planes (TM)

But about the only time I see the carriers involved is CV vs airfield.  I think I've only seen one CV vs CV battle so far.  Then someone decides that they need to lvl bomb the CV with B-17s.  A map like this really needs to disable all the lvl bombers and force the opposing CVs to launch divebomb and torpedo attacks.

I think if people got into the mindset that this is a map designed for sea battles we'd all get much more fun out of it.

I have seen many CV vs CV battles on this map, more than any other map that we have. I have steered many a CV group into such a battle - typically when a CV Group is attacking an airfield and we have a CV Group nearby.

CV vs Airfield are the best fights going ... nothing wrong with this scenario as far as I am concerned. Some of us that enjoy these fights have actually been able to ask the bomber boys to hold back on sinking a CV group so that the battle can continue ... some have obliged ... some haven't. Sink the destroyer and support ships all you want ... just leave the Carrier alone unless things get out of hand.

Disabling level bombers .... your joking ? ... right ?
