Only from you and all the other 'arm-chair' generals.

Agreed. the game play is different when on the bigger maps, but I also don't have to fly as long for a fight. I'll stick to long flights in the scenarios...

I like the big maps, I like some of the small maps too.  It adds variety, I like that.  Hell, why don't we get some medium maps too?  Or just more, different maps.  Variety is good.  

I like this game primarily because it adds so much variety.  I don't feel like fighting, I can bomb.  I don't want to bomb, I can drive a GV, I don't want that, I can gun on a cruiser, or fly a goon, or drive an LVT.  

It would be really cool if HT could add some first person experience with ground troops....maybe field artillery, as one example, or maybe sappers.  That would rock.

Oh yeah? What are you saying: Do you deny that the small maps have, until the last few days, been a permanent fixture in AH2? Or do you deny the very existence of a whole rash of complaints about gameplay and, more to the point, the hording/gangbang/Race for the Reset nature of that gameplay?

Or maybe you think it's just not funny. Well I meant funny-peculiar not funny-haha. But you don't have a sense of humour anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter either way. :lol:D

I said you were wrong the first time and now I'm saying it again.

Could someone refresh my memory on the name of the map that had many islands and palm trees all over?   It was a large map and I only had the pleasure to fly it one or two times.      


I agree with the majority of people that a variety of maps would keep the game fresh and not go stale with the same small maps.
Large maps and small maps are fun as long as they aren't the same thing over and over again.

Just how difficult is it to make a map?    Would the average guy be able to make one and submit it to HTC?    Can the average run of the mill box computer  make maps or would you need a more powerful system?

No matter what Hitech does there will always be a chump complaining about this, that and the other thing. Nothing's ever "good enough" for everyone to just stfu and play the game and enjoy it for what it is.

Perk this perk that, get rid of this or that, change this, I hate the gunnery, I hate the FM of this plane, un perk this plane because I suck in it and die all of the time, this map is too small, there arent enough maps, these maps are too big, too many bases, not enough bases, too many GV spawns, Spawn campers, Spawn Camper killers, my tiger died to a 1000lb bomb hackers.

NO MATTER WHAT, someone will always piss and moan about something. Get over it, get used to it, get a life.

How about

Noob:   "That Lanc killed my tiger. He hacks cause he was too far away to even see me!!!!

Which means:

A lanc otd carpet bombed a tiger.


Guess the equasion is:

Whines=person you killed+how you killed them * number of times the person dies + number of times (even though it happened a while back) the person claims you Ho'd, cherry picked, vulched, or spawn camped them by X3

Hey Mars! Missed you over the weekend. I think you have an out of state legover arrangement. :aok

Was a large map up then? I just checked the MA (and had to download P7 - lol) and Baltic was up. :mad:

Oh well, guess I'll be having another week off then.

There was just a massive whine thread about the big maps.. started Aug 5.  

I think it is more likely that the "current rash of gameplay whines" is a product of the fact that the gameplay really hasn't changed in a good three years, not a product of playing small maps for a month.

Mindano was up for most of the weekend ... from the little time that I logged in.

These small maps are really getting to me. I see a small map up and I almost have to force myself to play. Doesn't take too long for me to fly around for awhile and then log in disgust.

My flying hours and enthusiasm have subsided greatly. I am not giving up ... just waiting for when the other large maps are converted and get rotated in.

Small maps just don't cut it for me anymore. It has nothing to do with base spacing and all the other crap that we whine about. It's the saturation effect that the population has on the small maps.

It's probably just me ... in RL I avoid at all costs any event that has enormous amounts of people clamoring in a small space looking for enjoyment ... never been to Disney World based on that logic.

I agree.  You fly and fight in the AIR.   What difference does it make what map is under you?  Do you use different ACM on Big Isles map than you do on Mindanao?  I can just see some pilots during WWII:   "General Sir - you know I hate flying over the Pacific Islands (map), could you please transfer me to Italy? I like the scenery there better..."

When I log on and see.....

...a big map, I can barely keep from logging off.

...a small map, AH2 is more important than sleep or food.
