Title: Maps of Aces High
Post by: 5PointOh on March 23, 2008, 10:54:48 PM
Dear HTC Staff and esteemed pilots,

I was working on a new racing course the other night for the Aces High race league, and during this project I was looking through all of the old maps.  Some great maps that in my opinion could be put back into the rotation of maps.  It seems to me that the Okansas map has been up for sometime now. I have also noticed that others playing have stated that it seems that the map has become a tad bit stale.  So my question is, why not use maps such as Trinity, Fester, Donut ect ect. Is there something perhaps that prevents these maps from being used? I, myself enjoy this game greatly, but would like to see some new "old" maps back in the loop.  Thanks for all the updates HTC, and keep up the great work.

<S>

I have been wishing for trinity and donut back...I don't understand why Okansas is back, but not any others...

I agree, FesterMA looks like it would be a great map.  Add some uncapturable bases and poof MA maps.  Maybe its not that easy, but I can hope.

FesterMA and Trinity would be great to have back.... and, as a dedicated fighter pilot, I'd really like to have Donut back.... but maybe, seeing other threads and thinking of what happened in FT a couple of years ago, it's not the right time for that great map to come back.

Actually, from when I made a couple H2H maps, making the bases uncapturable seemed pretty simple...

I agree that the map rotation is "stale". Please Hitech, give us variety!

My suggestion is to always have 1 large and 1 small map in the MAs and to NEVER have a "two-fer". Repeating the same map after a reset should be avoided at all costs. What would the harm be in throwing in  a "change-up" once in a while? HTC has a large selection of maps... Why is the MA rotation limited to 4 maps? :huh

I'd much rather have NEW or even some older maps that aren't around back in the game. For me NEW maps rate higher than giving me a new plane (i.e. P39) I have enough options for different planes. But that's just me.

Plus the fact, that by now, most people know every little thing about every map, which spawn's have hills, which routes are the best etc...it is getting old...
