Title: Thanks HTC for another big map
Post by: crockett on November 29, 2007, 02:43:27 PM
Suprised there isn't a thread already but we now have another big map.  Ozkansas is in the blue arena. Lots of good GV action on it too.

yup, although the map graphic is the fairly generic one made by the terrain editor. i personally would LOVE to see your old bitmap used as the map.

don't suppose you have it saved?



also, skuzzy, if you see this, the map's sectors are out of alignment with the radar bars.

All I know is that last Tues. ? With unlimited players on the big map? Was probably the most fun Ive had since I joined. With 500 to 600 players the map really comes into its own.

awesome map.  And it really looks nice with the new textures/trees (Haven't flown it since the update).  Hope it sticks around for a few days atleast!

Not a fan of the map (too much water and bases far apart) but at least its a change.  Does this mean we can get festerma, trinity, and donut back?   These maps will be perfect if Titanic Tuesday setup becomes an everyday thing.

I like the map just fine but I have a question.

When I first seen it I thought there would be some long flights but then realized the grid squares are smaller.  By how much?  Don't think they're 25 miles. maybe 11- 12 -15

Another thing i noticed that confused me was why have a port that looks like a field but you can't take off from it and why would some be designated as unprotected zone bases. <<
If it is a resup base then i also wonder if you can land and rearm your plane there. I don't see why not since it is a field base but haven't got the chance to try it yet.
 All in all seems like another fun map with lots to do.

We had ONE LW arena.  They closed the other.  At the height of my play I witnessed 626 players in JUST the one arena.  Arena cap was set at 800.  This arena is scheduled to run every Tuesday for 24 hours.

That's 626 men, women and children sat at computers in many places around our planet shooting and bombing the living chitzoid outta each other.............and you missed it dude:D

on the origional version of the map,i believe there were ports that hadeither a airfeild next to it or was combined as one item.

I think on the map in the top left there is a port with a runway or there used to be.you used to be able to up aircraft and defend the port and be able to land there easy

The map still does. The airfields are actually part of the port, instead of the simple V base layout used in most other maps. I think that might be something only Fester does, or perhaps it was only on this map, but they are still there regardless.
