A winter map. The Baltic map would be good. An English channel map. or Northern europe. And some more weather. All for the MA please.:)

The bad thing about winter landscapes is the large amount of white usually present.    Staring at a bunch of white for hours on end will have a similar effect on your eyes as staring at a lightbulb.

Now a fall-style landscape with bare trees and lots of browns/dark greens/earthy colors, that would work extremely well.

Good point. Maybe just snow patches. Like High mountain tops or in shade of mountains. But I agree all white might hurt a bit. hadn't thought of that.

Desert might be nice to have back though. Could have a Med map.

It is a little odd that the huge mountains present on some maps don't have snow on the top, isn't it?

Desert terrain is great for flightsims.  It's dark enough so it doesn't hurt your eyes, but light enough to spot your opponents against it.

I have played winter maps in CT. They are no harder on eyes than AKDessert was.

The Fin-Russ winter map is one of my favorite maps. Seems to be easy on the Frame rates as well.

I would welcome a winter map for the MA.

Yes, please.  It'd be a 1:10 ratio of winter to normal maps.
