Title: Not sure about the new map.. strategy is kinda screwy
Post by: AKDejaVu on October 06, 2000, 02:04:00 AM

Played for about 14 straight hours today.  I managed some 100+ kills in ground vehicles.  I wish gv kills counted towards k/s and k/d.

This map has a tendancy to place ground vehicles right on other bases.  It really makes for some spectacular battles (A6 comes to mind).  I've never seen such a combination of air and ground vehicles before in an on-line sim.

When things are up and going and its populated.. this simply kicks butt.  The downside is that when things are slow, 1 person can sweep through several bases in an hour.

What it really comes down to I believe is learning to defend our borders.

Whatever the new map is it isn't BORING!

I like it alot better than the old map just for the fact that tanks now have places to hide. Plus it doesn't take 1/2 hour just to get in range of a base.

I hate to tell you AKDejaVu but I've been closing multiple bases in an hour since the ostwind came out. The ostwind has made base closings alot easier.

HTC strategy is obvious, they work toward more and better scenarios while make MA more and more fast-action-arcade-like. So "fun and bread" for all types of players.

But 100+ tanks in one day... Looks a bit excessive.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

With very few exceptions the drive used to take 10 minutes.  Now it takes 3.

Like I said, when the arena is full its a blast... when its not... we'll you've seen pics of what the knits log into every day.  2 bases... both elevated with no vehicle access.  That's all we usually have to start the day.  Not because we didn't defend.. just because you can't defend 8 bases with 4 players.
