After being stuck on Pinwheel map (don't recall the real name) for ages as it seems to actually get reset only every once in a great long while I find my thoughts turning tward Pizza map.
I remeber all the fun I had on it back in AH1 the great cannion fights trying to make your opponent run into the walls. :lol The GV battles in the bottom of them and even trying to sneak a goon through or over the top to snag a base..
I'm probably just wishing and it may never happen but a guy can hope right. I close with this small tribute to pizza to Oh where oh where could my baby be . :)
Oh where oh where could my Pizza be
HiTech took it away from me
It's out of rotation now but if we're good
Maybe it'll be back befor I leave this world
I was up for a flight in my 38
I hadn't flown very far
There in a cannion
Straight ahead
A plane was HOing spraying lead
I couldn't stop
So I pulled up tight
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin engines
The blazing guns
The angry words that I read last.
Oh where oh where could my Pizza be
HiTech took it away from me
It's out of rotation now but if we're good
Maybe it'll be back befor I leave this world
When I came to
I was was falling down
The enemy plane had smacked the ground
Warm sweat falling into my eyes
But some how I pulled out of the stall that night
I lifted the nose
Checked my damage and said
Hold togeather just a little while
I nursed her home
Smoking all the way
I found the runway I almost had missed
one gear was gone
the controlls were feeling tight
I slid to a stop, missing parts that night
Oh where oh where could my Pizza be
HiTech took it away from me
It's out of rotation now but if we're good
Maybe it'll be back befor I leave this world
Ya know after working on it the last part of the song sounds like a landing by Guppy :D

I loved pizza map. :cry
-
The high plains of Pizza were places where the Ta-152 and Spit XIV were actually in their element. Of course, if it came back they'd need to get rid of the rocks of death :)
-
You know there is the "new" pizza map but I have not seen it in ages! Was it taken out of rotation?
I too loved the old pizza map. Memories....
-
I'm sorry but the new pizza map just aint the same..
-
I miss the Pizza Map.
-
I never saw the old pizza map, but the new one wasn't anything great, I'd like to see the old one some day in rotation.
-
I hate pizza (the map). Not one of the better ones in rotation.

Pizza or SmPizza? They are nothing alike.

What's the map with V85 on it in the SE corner. You know the one where it has spawns from V88 (to the south) and V76 (to the north). V85 is on a noodleula and their are airfields just over a sector away and ports about 2-3 sectors away. Some of the best fights I have had in a long time have been in and around V85.
Having said that the map is a big one but most of the the fights I see are focused right at this point.
That's a fun map.

The current one (is that smpizza?)
Been too long, I don't recall much of the original.

You guys have to be kidding? Pizza map was the ugliest and most unrealistic map ever to be presented. Good map for X-Wing's simulating the canyons of Mars, not a WW2 aircraft based sim.

^-- that's how I feel about the current one. It's stupid.
It's a highly exaggerated cartoon representation of unrealistic land mass shapes in a game that's trying to represent things in a realistic light.
It's like playing COD4 and entering a room that looks straight out of Team Fortress 2.
-
May it stay dead forever.

I don't give a crap if they wern't totally realistic, some of the most fun I've had in AH was fighing people in those tall cannions. 1 screw up and it's the wall for you lol...
-
Yeah! I like the pizza map too!
Flyin low through the canyons to attack V bases.
Great dogfighting in those canyons too!!
Had to keep an eye out for those walls.
Every now and then you would see some patient soul who had climbed up the wall in a gv shootin DOWN at the planes below.
Mama Mia, thats a spicey map!!

Well that's where we are different, in a WW2 based sim I expect terrain to atleast resemble parts of earth. Pizza was with out doubt the worst example of this and overall the design was terrible along with the patchy brown terrain.
Many are glad that map was pulled and never wish to see it enter rotation again.

was realistic enough

Old Pizza was a decent map, not my favorite, but was OK. I would love to see it back. Mainly because I want more map variaty than eveything else. I would rather have HT make us more maps then add more planes. But that's just me.
-
I think the one with all the long, deep running canyons was kinda cool. With a lot of the vehicle bases on the canyon bottoms. Actually Ive developed a liking for the bigger maps.
-
It would be nice for all maps to get new tiles. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw 'Mesa'. It's like we were back in the 80s with those wireframe sci-fi graphics...
-
I always hated the old pizza map. It was way to bright and hard on the eyes imo. I just didn't play while that map was in rotation. Old Pizza map is the only map I have refused to play on.

The PIzza map had a lot of really neat features.
The trenches.. where GVs fought in their own little world.
Air base altitudes ranging from sea level to 10k.
The outter ring of GV bases.
What tarnished it from the get-go is that it's first exposure lasted for, like, a month. People got tired of it. Having been accustomed to map changes every few days, having the same one around for awhile got on some folks nerves.
Personally, I don't care for the desert. The dry and desolate scenery just wore me out. I like trees and water. I always thought that if they just redid the pizza map with trees and grass, life would be good.
I would like to see it come back. I bet you could launch a jeep a good spell off the side of one of those cliffs...
-
I liked the map that had a small lake in the middle that was triangular shaped. It had 1 rook, 1 knight, 1 bishop airbase on the side of it. and Vehicle bases in between, god it was really fun and it was always like constant furballing and gving. I loved it!! Anyone else remember that map?? Thats what i want back in the game but i never see it anymore.

That's what I liked about it.........the outter crust......big time GV fites. Launching a sector (or more) away to come support. Lots of good land and air fites.
Good map IMO.
-
Pizza was a lot of fun. There was every kind of fight going on it. CV battles at all those islands in between the "pizza slices". Desert terrain, was a fun break from the "green" we have all the time. The AKs put a lot of time and effort into that one, and I think for the most part people enjoyed it.

Can anyone get up a clipboard pic of the old pizza map?

Ya know after working on it the last part of the song sounds like a landing by Guppy :D
I don't want to be Johnny Raincloud or anything but if it was anything like the pizza map i was flying on a couple of months ago... good ridance.... but it was a nice song/poem. I'd rather read the poem for 3 days then spend three days trying to win that pizza map.

Nice picture but unfortunetly the graphic textures in Pizza didn't allow for anything at all like that and was difficult on the eyes no matter what the resolution or monitor. From alt it looked like a terrible quilt.... Then again that's a problem with all maps... :(

I always thought it looked like a giant chocolate chip cookie, just cut in pieces.
I both loved and loathed the old pizza map. I loved the canyons and the center, I hated the outer rings cause you needed a CV to fly outthere otherwise it took to long to reach anything..

I remember watching my brother play AH1 on this map, and remarking about how fun it was. When I finally subcribed to my ISP, it was about the same time AH2 came about. I may have played on this map with Flayd and a few others via LAN, I'm not sure.
-
Okay i found the Map i wanted to have in the LW arenas again
Its called "donut"
Its my favorite map ever!!! I WANT TO SEE IT IN THE GAME AGAIN!!!!!
o and could some1 put a pic of it up so ppl could see what im talking about :D
-
Well as far as the texture go's HT seems to be making all maps with grass and tree's now so if we ever did get it back I'll bet it's converted...
As far as donut map is concerned I believe HT said it would not come back due to the problems/whines it caused when ever the center fields were bombed or taken..
-
sigh.... to the days of old.
-
Pizza rocked.
Ooh, a pun.

That's such a shame. Donut was designed specifically to cater to all tastes. It had great GV opportunities, a special furballing area and carefully spaced spawns so that the time taken to drive an M3 was the same time it took to fly a goon.
I'd love to see donut back, it's a pity some folk couldn't just play it the way it was designed.:(

Maybe not even in the rotation, but just on Titanic Tuesday. It would be nice to see the old large maps back for a day once a week. Bring back the old times once a week just like the one arena on Tuesdays.

I remember I was playing AH about a month ago and the map that I was playing on made me really hungry for some pizza. So I bugged my mom about it and after 15 minutes of me annoying her, she finally ordered some pizza for me!
-
I WANT THE DONUT MAP AGAIN!!! That wasnt the first map i ever played on but it damn sure was the funnest EVER:noid

Well since there is TWO lw arenas, they could put it on one arena....
I MISS DONUT MAP!!!! PLEEZE PUT IT ON AGAIN!!!
:cry :cry :cry

Hey now I worked a good few hours rewording that song for my tribute to pizza map. So go make your own thread for donut.. Personally out of the two Pizza was better.
-
o i made my own thread for it in wishlist, no replies........ but after like 1 day, i put a screenshot of the map (http://[IMG]http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh71/1pLUs44/ahss51.jpg)[/IMG] here it is...

There was a Giant squid in the center of the Pizza Map at 10, 10. It was out of the way and you had to the exact center of the map to find it. Not alot of players knew it was there as there was never anything happening there. You could even kill the squid and its eyes would look like this (+)
when it died. God we laughed for days about that the first time we saw it.
The Squid was in another map too; it was located in a smaller body of water.but I cant remember what map it was.
Pizza was a great map. It wasn't realistic, but it provided some great small unit fights. There was always something to do to pizz....a off the enemy.
Bring it back!

I remember canyon flying with the MAWS way back when on pizza... good times and f4u raids... I think pizza was also the last map played before AH2 came out?
