... the good old weekly map reset.
3+ weeks now on the same virtually unresettable map in LWO.
I'm getting somewhat tired. :(
And yes, this is a rant, I know ;)
-
Rant away. I will not only jump on your bandwagon, I will push it if it runs out of gas.
-
But won't it just end up being that other map that looks a lot like the current one but smaller?

It's not that bad.. we do have some different ones ;)

I'm tired of the LWO map for sure though! Also the bishies being knocked outta TT is no fun :cry

a map is a map is a map

there was baltic in blue last night was surprised to see 2 different LW maps up.
but yea Lusche is right, variety is the spice of life.

I agree we need more resets and or maps. But we've all complained about this until we're blue in the face without any results. We all know HTC has alot of maps from the past. So where are they and how come we can't get them anymore? You guys remember the small maps that came out when we first went to the split arenas? Where are these? Were they deleted?Are there too many players to support small maps like that anymore?I'd like to know.
I like the maps in rotation right, but I too get bored with them, and have completely given up on base captures because I can't see the point in it anymore.By the time we get 1 country down on the bases they have and start working on the other country, the first country comes back and gets their bases back.These maps are too big to support 4 different arenas.
EW and the 2nd LW arenas are nothing more then live fire training and milking arenas.I've tryed the MW arena and found it to be 1 or 2 guys trying to defend bases against whole squads.And while you're defending that base, a few will go capture a undefended Vbase in the other sector. :rolleyes:
I'll conclude my rant for now for I don't like to do that too much. AH2 is a great game but it does has a few things about it that tick me off but so does my wife. :lol

Just for clarification... I do wan't to see some of that old maps back (I miss mindanao), but it's not the numbers of maps as such that is my problem - it's the fact that with current war win rules it's almost impossible to reset the big map in LWO (different thing in LWB).
And that results in having the same map up for many weeks.
So I'd just like to see a scheduled reset again. Either at start or end of every TT would be a reasonable point in time.

Perhaps, but some maps are much more fun than others (and probably different maps are "best" to different folks based upon their choice of gameplay.)
I personally hate (Baltic??? I think) - I feel like I spend half of my time trying to defend/retake the stupid VB near HQ. It's enough to make me reconsider my usual rule of flying for the side with the least numbers some times...
<S>

We have titanic tuesday. How about reset wednesday back. I remember loggin in on wednesday just to see what map was on. My 2 cents the server would be full both on tuesday and wednesday.

... the good old weekly map reset.
Lusche, I've given this some thought, and may have a solution for you.
Part 1. Take up a collection of $15 USD each week.
Part 2. Find out the locations of Skuzzy's favorite pizza joint.
Part 3 Contact the pizza joint and pre-pay a pizza (I believe Roy like Roni + Sausage) to be delivered at Skuzzy's office every Wednesday at 11:00 am CDT.
Part 4 Have the following message written on the top of the pizza box with a large, black Sharpie : "Please reset the LW maps or this will be your last pizza. Thank you."
:D

Sounds like an offer he can't refuse :rofl

FWIW I tried one day to send Skuzzy a Pizza, just for kicks :lol
I found a Pizza joint close and called them with the order, but they wouldn't accept M/C over the phone from Australia :cry

I just went through my terrains folder ("choose terrain" on clipboard) just for kicks, and here's the MA list I found:
-baltic
-beta2
-compello
-donut
-equinox
-FesterMA
-Frac3
-mesaview
-mindanao
-mmesa
-ndisles
-ozkansas
-sfma
-SFTERR
-smpizza
-STALL
-trinity
Two of these maps I don't recall ever playing on (STALL and SFTERR). Mindanao might be a problem because map tiles are incorrect (as in Mindanao does not contain European terrain). It was refreshing to see donut, and wish it could be implimented again.
-
I'll settle for just having two different maps in the LW arenas. Too often lately, I've logged in after Titanic Tuesday not only to find the same map in both arenas, but my team on the same side of each map as well. Shouldn't there be a rule against that?

i luv the TT maps however....i agree with lusche on this, that map is getting old, i mean. if this big map can be in rotation why can't the donut map or all the other maps be in rotation? i guess i dont get it. but IMHO this map that has been in LWO is gettin to be old. i think skuzzy should go back to changin the map on wednesdays no matter the war status...just my 2cents.

Latewar is the same way; 15+ mission hitting an undefended base, while 15+ from the other country do the same a sector or 2 away. These hordes are like trains, they never meet but roll across the map...
Changing the map from time to time, but until the game moves away from the milkrunning/war winning mentality it will be the same.

This is exactly what happens. Playing wack-a-mole with the hording real estate brokers who are allergic to fighting each other is about as much fun as watching paint dry. The only amusement I get is the atta-boys they give each other after hord-milking pixelized outhouses. They cannot really do this on the smaller maps, the hordes have to fight each other for bases. On the huge maps there's often more fields than players affording infinite opportunity for non-fighting milk-hording.

Same statement, different year. The fact remains that HiTech has never changed anything severely enough to rid this problem from the game. It is still a prevalent tactic. Extrapulate from that what you will, keeping in mind how long this game has existed. On our end of his game, the fact remains that complaints have failed to solve this issue year after year.

Need old AH1 pizza map
Best map EVER :aok
FLying and driving over those sand dunes was really cool. Kinda like war in north africa
