Yes I have a problem with Festers map. After a few more rotations I think you will see the problem too. Its still fun but it does have problems.

Lazs you must have a problem moving the map about or you limit your options too much in choosing your fights. There is no problem finding a fight on pizza map. None.


Oh great....another new guy with all the answers.

How you can find anything wrong with my premise of a map which affords both camps some fun is beyond me....perhaps you're narrow minded or lack the skills necessary to enjoy anything other than driving around in GV's or Buffs?

Tell us all how it should be once more pls...I missed it the first time.

I'll bet the core of this problem begins and ends with your definition of a fight...probably doesn't involve anything that could fight back? Help me out here....it's hard to think with the loud droning of those black choppers outside my window.

I tend to prefer high altitude fights attacking bombers


Nevermind....I have my answer.

Furballer Points:

1.  Flying more than a couple of minutes to get to a fight is bad.
2.  Spending time finding a fight is bad.
3.  Non-furballers are a lesser breed, only fit to feed the furballers during practice time for the real furball.


Yup, STILL argues for a separate furballer arena.  Ideal design:  3 indestructible fields 10 miles apart on a 1-sector map, with air spawns to a point at the exact center from each field.  GVs, ack, and ordnance disabled.

Right ... except on Fester's map you don't have to spend 80% of your time trying to find the 20% of good fights.

meta.... no... you don't see.   must be a UK thing.   in the fester map you have all the choices in the world.     Pizza limits choice.


As for score.... I didn't say anything about score.  Iwas talking about "stats"   if someone tells me they can find a fight any time they like then they end up only finding 3-6 fights an hour... I would say that they either can't find a fight or that they are avoiding em... in either case... they don't really know what me or my ilk want.  In the example I gave stats do indeed matter and mine are 180 degrees off of yours.   If I had your K/D then I would have 20 K/H instead of 12 or so.    

I say you are wrong.... I say you really can't find a fight every time you like.... not like the ones you show and not on pizza.

Rude the little amount of skill you have doesnt support your arrogance. The few times I have run into you the best you had were little flick rolls to throw off the guns pass. You rope easy and you shoot poorly. Your fight isnt any better than the noobs I kill with total disdain. I give you 19 seconds after a coalt merge.

Look me up next time your on.

MetaTron sure is a good example of a word-warrior, especially for someone who's only been on the boards since August...

Well according to your K/H stat , which i'm sure doesn't reflect your skill , i'm sure you are awesome, you fight for 1 min and spend 59 looking.
You'd be unbeatable if you flew a map that provided you 2 min an hour of action.

Personally I'm finding lottsa pizza fites and have enjoyed the map for the most part.
Elevations on most fields are a little hi for the FM2 and flight time is a little to far but Big Isles it ain't:)

Well sax since you think my kills per hours spent online are so low why dont you check out my score for August? I wasnt flying high altitude missions then and I wasnt seeing as many bomber formations that bail out when you catch them at 30k.

Ever go to 30k? It takes awhile to get there and Im usually doing it to defend HQ. When they bail or other guys get the kills you end up with nothing to show for your time and no place close by to find a kill. My k/d for August was 87:0 and my kills per time exceeded yours, rudes, or bluemakos. Im sure I can drive it much higher whenever I want to.

Give me a break, split words on anything.  And yeah, if the “best” fight has the least travel time and is being hit by 20 attackers, then that’s where the fight is isn’t it.

I don't think I'll give you a break.  You were the one who said "I agree that the map doesn’t have anything to do with the “quality” of fights, just the frequency and travel time. That’s basically the only beef the furballer has. Travel time and frequency."

The only real beef people have is they get bored.  Some try to blame the map, other people, the planes, whatever.  Others realize that when you start to get bored its time to stop trying to find all your excitement in the same place.
