i miss the old map rotation (winning war = next map)

atleast when it was pizza, or whichever map you detest it would give incentive to win the war.

but due to whiners we must spend a week at a time on maps we dont like.

ROFL - I take it Pizza is up now - good.

Urch, you really shouldn't whine. Some of us like the big maps. I enjoy the pizza. The map rotation right now is as fair as it possibly can be. In view of that, I think people should have the good grace not to post map whine threads.

Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought the reason for the rotation was because maps like this could take weeks to win. If it rotates in a week then at least you know it will end in a reasonable amount of time.

At least with this rotation u know you only have to wait 1 week. I can remember a couple pizza maps being there for 3 weeks

Hehe ... c'mon, guys. When's the last post of Urchin's that wasn't a whine? It's just his nature. I'd suggest his flying the Okinawa CT but he'd find something that gives him a bellyache there too, I'd wager.

See ya up when everything is perfect, Urch.

IMO, the small maps are a real pain.
With 300+ online, the small maps are giant furballs. They have a relatively short borderline, und half of the fields close to the borderline are bombed out of fuel. So its almost impossible to find a field which is not being attacked or defended with at least 30-40 players.

No question...i have no problems with furballers. But when the maps are so small that i dont have the choice if i want to furball or not, then it becomes less enjoyable.

Modestly, Trinity is the best map of all. Its well balanced and fun to play.
Except.....not to forget Lasz

....there should be some clusters of fields which are closer together.

The bases are too high.
But it does look like the terrain colors have been worked on.
you can see the ground better and it less eye strain.
So all in all it aint my favorite map but it is more than playable.
And you must admit it is different:D

actually on this (the first day of pizza) bishops are 10 bases away from being wiped out as i type this.

You should throw a hissy fit, post a thread saying you're going to quit, then come back the next day with a really cool name like "AHDEITY" or some toejam and post compromising photos of yourself frolicking with other "friends"

ROFL! Who is that AHGOD guy?

I agree with ecke-109, although Pizza is my favourite map. I know it's hard on the eyes sometimes, and I've had to modify my colours, but you get high alt fields - great for launching P47, where it excels. LA7 is not the pest it normally is at the lower alts. Plenty of GV battles - more than on any other map - but also fights and field captures.

Yes,, the alt monkeys get a leg-up.

Only good thing about it is, if you're flying a 202 or 205 your enemy is already too blind to see you in a B26, so it gets stealth.

Seven Maps.

Four of them, the small ones, are up for a total of one week, rotating through the four during that week. Being overly generous, let's say the average small map gets two days of play per month.

The three large ones are up for a solid week each.

Thats "as fair as it possibly can be"? Well, I guess it is if your personal bias allows you to insult the small maps with the "children's map" label.

It would seem that perhaps a 28 day rotation with each map up for 4 straight days or even a 35 day rotation with each map getting 5 straight days would be more fair.

Except of course for those that really don't want it to be "fair".
