Put a poll up in the Main arena and let it run thru the weekend. Let us decide if we want to keep the pizza map or not. Please.

I used to be OK with it, but it frusterates me so much that I will no longer play if it is up.

You have to work a little harder to find the kind of fighting you like. But over all IMO its not a bad map, just bigger than most are used to.

I do like Festers big map the best though.

I want to see the original beta map back for a quick rotation  :)

I dont mind the map being in rotation.  I mind being stuck with it all freaking week!  
Yea, what karnak said.  I kind of liked it when it was one of the first new big maps, but it is frustrating...too much to have it shoved on us.

AKDessert is the best map in the rotation! More maps like this are of primary importance!

Agreed.

The question which needs to be asked in a popup poll is not which map you would like to discard, but which is your favourite map - or two maps. Otherwise there could be ganging up against a particular map which would not be fair.

Pizza is okay for one week rotation but no longer.

Keep it in rotation by all means! :)

BTW My favourite map is Uterus! :)

Come on beet !!!

Fix it ... means to me.

Change the tiles. The color is just plain harsh on the eyes for any extended period of time. I am not suggesting that the whole notion of the "desert" be eliminated, its just that the whole bloody map doesn't need to be harsh.

Change some of the VHs to airfields ... not all just some, and you know why.

Get rid of the exagerated washing machine action when driving the vehicles over certain parts of the terrain. This action completely eliminates GV action in these areas, so why have a spawn point there at all.

Keep ...

The altitudes. This should be considered a hight alt map and for cods sake don't get rid of the canyons.

Post by: Shane on December 11, 2003, 10:49:22 AM
lower the overall altitude...  add a looooooot more green....

the gameplay on the map isn't so atrocious as much as the map itself is... for the above reasons.

Pizza map might be the most controversial map we have, let the players vote.

I say dump it :)

Post by: rshubert on December 11, 2003, 11:23:31 AM
It is a difficult map to make any strategic progress on, and therefore a challenge to those of us who like to play the strat game.  The number of fields and the distances, etc.  absorb the force of the "steamroller effect" that some people complain about.

I don't WANT a map that can be won in a few hours of play, I want a difficult campaign that is won or lost through coordinated effort over time.  Pizza provides that, unlike some other maps.

Ak Desert is better than any of the maps that came before it..Fix them first...

I like how acks are very hard to see on this terrain..The terrain is one of it's best features.

Get rid of it, it is an abomination.

If I was shopping for an MMOL WW2 flight sim today and came across the pizza map, I could not possibly take AH as seriously as others.


It's pure cheez.

It's like putt putt golf.

not at all..   the canyons are ludicrous and way overdone...  the overall alts are  simply... whacked... especially when you factor in the bogus modeled wind layers.

it's more about the the smurfy color, tho'

i can kick *** in any plane i feel like. there's a specific reason i fly la7, just like there are times when i fly a pony or spit or 109, et al.

What's your system spec, and what frame rate do you get? I've just upgraded, and frame rate has gone up from a typical 50 to between 100-120. Makes a difference in those GV battles where there's a lot of fire/smoke, and a lot of video rendering going on. Before my upgrade, I could be down to 7fps in one of those GV battles.

Shane! I am underwhelmed by your modesty. :D

Just like the bug where we can see planes through the dash occasionally there is a bug (or feature) where you can see your shot pass over and hit behind a gv and it appears that the shot lands short because you can see the tracer even through the target gv. When there are numerous objects nearby you will see this bug more often particularly near towns and fields. This makes it hard to get the range on vehicles and you may even be fooled into thinking you have a shot at a gv when in reality there is part of a building in the way.

Instead of relying on seeing where your shots land learn to determine range by the size of your target in comparison to the sight carets. Your shots will be closer and hits will become more frequent.

Pizza's one great feature is the coastline bases being at 4K--It helps make for longer and more interesting CV fites.

Other bases overall altitude is way to much tho--lower the terrain in the middle--little more grass for the sheep
