Back in the day when large had a weekly Skuzzy reset... so I don't think you should worry too much :aok
-
Yeah, put uterus back up. No one is ever happy lol
-
C'mon. Not everyone can be happy... I actually like the change, as I'm sure most do as well; Considering all the Map change requests we had before this big one came out. <
> HTC
-
after all the whining about "we need big maps" I am sure HiTech is gonna keep this map up for quite awhile.
-
If 14% of the people complain then it's a problem.
-
I like the big map:aok
I like the strat opportunities:aok
There's a whole bunch of new players just beginning to get the idea of the zone bases, it's like watching a light come on:aok
-
i think that HTC needs to make some kind of system were both of the LW maps are NEVER on the same map
-
I love the map. Thank you HT for re-entering, at least, some of the large maps.
>S<:aok
-
I need to get to work on ComSoPac now that big maps are back in. :p

Some? What others did they add?
-
I don't have a lot of time during the work week to play, so this map doesn't bother me very much being on this long. I still have all the old large maps in my AH directory, and sometimes I bring them up in offline to reminisce. (sp?)
Hmm...Trinity, OzKansas, Donut, and I remember the furball outfit being fond of Festermap.

put the map on MW and EW .........Please

Such a huge map in EW, with usually only around 6 players online? Dunno if that's really a good idea...

Pulls up my chair, My Honey puts the popcorn on, Crack a cold one...
Just waiting for the show to start.
This ought to be good.....:D
-
I like the big map You can find just about everything here. Furballs, GV fights, strat targets.
-
There's got to be at least, what?....a dozen+ big and small maps? Bring back the Skuzzmeister's Wednesday morning reset and mix 'em up.
I miss his pretty Robins Egg Blue text color :cry

I actually enjoy this map :)

I do too..
I personally I prefer smaller fights. Last night my squad had a battle that lasted for several hours involving about 15-20 planes total on both sides. Several good fights with no pickers diving in to ruin the party.
I am finding lots of small fights, but there are also some big furballs if you are into that.
I think it creates a balance I haven't seen since I started playing a year ago. Something for everyone.
-
The map is nice.. definitely a change of pace.. and that as far as "winning" the war, well thats what makes this map nice, don't have to worry about the hangar dweebs so much here cuz there is ALWAYS somewhere to fight.
-
I've been playing the Orange arena (where Bish have been outnumbered every night) since this map came up and haven't tired of it one bit.
Again, thank you HT. Hope we get the Wednesday re-set and the other big maps back too.
One thing I'd still like to see on all maps though is breaks in the contiuous VB to VB spawns. I think 3-4 connected bases at a time would be enough, then you would have to use air to jump to the next group.

It was a lot of fun Scca. I haven't killed so many tigers in a long time. The 201st Thundereggs enjoyed the fight.

Hooray for Big Maps and plenty of fights.
I've had no lack of furballs, base defense, base assaults, bomber missions, bomber intercepts, carrier ops, and GV battles. There is always something going on that you like. ANd the good thign about this many bases and these large front lines. 3 Bombers can't shut down all the front line bases liek they can on small maps.
-
On this new map I found a low Ju88 goofing around the field. Naturally since I was in a B-25H, I chased that little sucker down and took pot shots with my 75mm since I was only 600 out. I finally used my 50 cals and shot his tail off :D
-
The big maps rock, blame the arena cap. :(
-
I'm considering leaving the game due to the big maps.
Too much real estate, not enough players.
I'm sure I will be missed.

Not on a big map :D
-
LOL, good point!
-
At the OP:
Who cares if the map is not reset? At least theres a good variety of good fights. Thats all that really matters :aok
-
I like the big maps too, theres alot more to do and the smaller GV battles are a blast.
-
Baltic is in LW Blue :(

You won't find any map that will make every AH player happy. So a good mix is best for all of us.

Bye.
The past four nights Ive been on there have been plenty of giant furballs, small furballs, base taking, bomber raids, strats targets to hit, gv fights, and sneak missions. I don't see what the problem is if so many different types are game play are all supported by one map.. No matter how big or small the map is the players will always find each other and there will always be a furball.

The sickness the MA was suffering has been cured I hope.

Why not make the Orange LW the large map arena and the Blue LW the Small map arena?
Put all the maps back and rotate them with the wed morning reset.

They would have to get rid of arena caps then because I wouldn't want to play in Blue anymore and I'd be PO'd if I couldn't get into Orange.

Sounds good to me.

I think the players are showing where the want to be. Maybe instead of capping the arenas, they could get buy equipment that could handle 2-3k folks. If they have such equipment lets try it out. Make even bigger maps :)
Make 6 bases in the middle, put the red box around them make them un-takable example the FT map, just make the whole center island red squares. I mean really I can still play the game on my old P-3 1000, I dont, but it can, its seven years old thats 4-5 generations of computers ago its not worth 75 bucks.
I always liked the arena is sick argument. :rofl As if there is some wannabe shrink running around monitoring us. "The arena is sick its un-healthy we need to help it get better" :rolleyes:

I'm not crying.
The OP asked about feelings about the big maps.
I don't like them.
I'm not asking for them to NOT be in the game, I'm just not enjoying them. You can't please everyone- I'm one of the ones that isn't pleased.
Maybe I need more time. Maybe I need a different big map.
I'm not having the same experiences as the rest of y'all I guess. I'm finding less fights, and much longer commutes between them.
-
I guess this partly depends upon when you log on. It is sometimes hard to find a good fight on the big map during early evening GMT. Lots of little one block activity bars all over the map.
Somtimes porking an enemy field will rustle up some defenders. Its no good just flying over there, they need to think you are just a toolshedder. If one ups, one or two others often up straight after.
Other times I'll just log and wait until nearer midnight.
-
One thing I have noticed is that I've been flying from CV's alot more this tour since the big map thing.
I don't know if this is a bish thing or if the other countries have CV's too, but the CV's have been giving the most bang for the buck for me.

Just start blowing up their radars and really piss em off. It almost always works.
-
Ahh quit the damn whining and just play the game.
basecaptures can be fun,yes
Furballing can be fun.yes
GVing can be fun,yes
Even
Toolshedding can be fun,yes
Resetting the map is irrelevent to having fun
you can get more perks in a couple of flights in a 109F then you get for resetting the map
Personally Im glad we have a different map as Im sick of looking at the old ones.

Other countries do get CV'S as well, Bish just like to take them from them.
Flying high CAP forward CV defence is always good provided the CV is headed to action. If it's not you'll be waiting for the odd astronaut scouting and that's about it.
-
To be honest, I don't understand the whole "take the CV from you" thing.
I've heard it on range before, and I assume it has something to do with owning the port, but truthfully, I don't understand the game on that level at all.
I know the info is out there, I just haven't looked. I do like flying CV CAP. Easy kills. For some reason, folks just don't attack the CV with the intent of living for some reason.
