Title: Canyon Map
Post by: COndor06 on August 17, 2007, 08:48:33 PM: What happened to the Canyon Map. I love that map. (Thats what I call it) The lack of Map rotation is causing me to loose interest. I won't speak for anyone else here but this is getting real boring for me.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game but how much longer are we doomed to TT in Late war Blue? I'm not talking about a rotation for a couple of hours and back to TT either. I am talking about some fresh mappage here.

Whats the deal here fellas, really. I am sure there are guys in this game that would love to submit new maps or at least help in the generation of the same. I would jump at the chance if I thought I could help make a difference.

Are we just so complacent that nothing more is expected? How can the members help put some fresh thought into some new fighting arenas and how can we implement it? Does our input mean anything or are we just expected to pay our fees and shut up?

I can do either. I would just like to know. Before anyone starts, this is not a poke at HT or AH staff. You guys have a lot to deal with, I realize. I have a lot of admiration for this game and would like to see some member created maps. We could help. What (if anything) could we do or would AH allow?

Post by: SFCHONDO on August 18, 2007, 03:57:02 AM: Would love some new maps (hec we all would) but since they don't come around that often I wish HT would auto rotate the maps every 4 days or so.

Post by: BaldEagl on August 18, 2007, 12:51:51 PM: I'd just like to actually SEE some of the newer maps once in a while (SmPizza, Beta, MidMesa and NHawks new map whatever it's called).

For some reason NDIsles, Baltic and Uterus go up and stay up forever but when these others go up they are re-set in a day or two.

Bring back Mindnao, bring back the big maps and re-start the weekly re-set.

Post by: Gryphons on August 18, 2007, 01:24:15 PM: Was Mindano the map that was kind of a circle and had a long row of gv bases in the south? I wish I had a screenshot of it but it was a great map and I miss it alot.

Post by: Hamish on August 18, 2007, 06:03:57 PM: I've only been flying again a couple weeks and yes, I'd have to agree, the maps we are currently stuck on are boring as hell. Didn't the MA used to rotate weekly? or am I misremembering in my old age? I might just be remembering us whining about it back then too :D

Regards,

Now THAT was a gorgeous map.
Asthetically the nicest map the games had yet

Post by: COndor06 on August 19, 2007, 10:12:18 AM: Heres a thought, why not have a map competition. Let AH staff select the top ten maps submitted by members. We fly these over the next two weeks (in one arena).

It would be voted on by the members and the map would named using the winning designers call sign. The top three map makers get a free year's subscription. Thats a pretty cheap price for three new maps. If members can submit plane skins then why not maps?

I have never designed a map before but I would certainly take interest in something like this. Theres a lot of guys out their HT that would really enjoy this. Whats the harm?
Title: NEW MAPS!
Post by: TalonX on August 19, 2007, 10:15:21 AM: The beauty of this game is the variety the various maps bring. It's like a new game every time.

With the short rotation we have, it's getting horrible. I haven't logged many hours in the last 8 weeks.... I am hoping this layoff will recharge my batteries and enjoyment level.

PLEASE - bring us some new maps!!!

Thank you.
