I know HT wants to keep it small and all, but with CT comming in two weeks and all the new folks, I can definately see this 'sploding into something really big.

I enjoyed some parts of WWIIOL, and I'm starting to enjoy the GV wars here like I did there; more with the new terrain now and the increasing number of AV's.  Now to get the Unreal 3 engine in there for dismounts and infantry stuff!!  (I wish!)

Hmm . . . What do you think will come first: a third Late War Main Arena, or return of the big maps?

Big maps when you have 500+ on these small maps its just to cramped we need at least medium size maps back theses small ones arnt big enough when an arena hits 400 or 500 +

Kazaa I would like that to but lets be real HTC will soon have up to 1000 players on line at once even the old MA big maps with 1000 people on them would be to small :(

Unfortunatly,HTC wants 900 players in 450 arenas, and switch the "massive multy" in  a "first person shooter" game,
 Imagine a 300 x B17s Video card buster mission!!:(

Just a guess, but another arena is probably easier to do.

I think a bigger map would be worth a try though. More fun than another arena, from my point of view.

So much for the changes forcing people to quit the game.   Those who left will have to wait a little longer before crowing, "I told you so!"   HiTech is building the game as evidenced by the growth.  

I'm sorry some old timers get hardening-of-the-attitudes.  I wish they'd stay.  I'm staying.

I'm grateful for a virtual Corsair to fly.  Thanks to those of you in GV's who help support the growth of the game.  You're nuts, but thanks.  Fly a plane.

HONK!

what we need is the "medium" sized 512 maps.... ie ones with less land area or a 384 sized map....


small maps are far too small with 400 players on them. hehe



however the main issue is 100 players (offpeak) on large maps wont work either......

Adding another LW arena, that will be lightly populated most off hours does not seem to be the solution.

My opinion:  Take one of the LW arenas, up the cap, add medium and large maps to the rotation...  bet the majority of online players would be in that one arena most of the time.

LWB should be current setup, small map for ofpeak
LWO should be large maps for onpeak.

both open at the same time mind.....


although the whines when people cant get into the arena they want will be even worse hmmm

Maybe a bit off the subject, but I noticed both times I logged on yesterday (late morning and early evening MDT), Early War had ONE or NONE in it.

Hey Oldman, sorry about vulching you the other night but I reached the point of frustration that only 400 people in a 1 square foot map can make me reach.  

Normally I don't vulch very often unless it's to cap a base until a goon arrives but, I figured that since there's no skill needed anymore in our over-crowded arenas I'd just go vulch at a field that was fully up and see how many I could get before the ack got me.  I figured the odds to be about the same as in any of the the furballs but it turned out they were better.  I got 3 before I went down and I never extended out of the ack.

Might be time to become a full time vulture.
