Title: HTC The Maps in the MA are Lame
Post by: TwentyFo on September 12, 2008, 12:45:12 PM
Dear HTC,

I am tired of having the same maps in both of the MA arenas. They are stale. We've had the same map for quite a while. Can you make it so that each MA has a small map and a large map at all times. I mean this would accommodate most people/squads. Variety is key. The current maps have TERRIBLE gv spawns. Some of the ports have towns. I could keep going, but what's the point.

Also....We want Midnao Back!!!

I couldnt agree more. The last week I have fought at what seems to be the same 5 bases. 144,108,98,122, and all the tank town bases. I think i can tell you everything about these bases right now including what side of the runway is toward the water....

but thanks htc for all you do :salute

Ozkansas is currently in rotation.

Trinity, FesterMA, and Donut will make it all better.

I like the TankTown part of ozkansas but the rest of it I don't care for, and most of the time the griefing Rooks capture all of TankTown anyway.

Skuzzy mentioned in a previous post that 100% of maps available are in rotation. Those maps don't include trinity, festerma, or donut.

If you want more terrains, learn how to use this (http://www.hitechcreations.com/download/dlteframe.html).

I don't want to be mean, but support@hitechcreations.com

but I still agree with you 100%, I absolutley hate that map.

Those maps don't include trinity, festerma, or donut.

In other words, three of the best maps are not in the rotation. :cry

The only 2 maps I like above the others are NDisles and Ozkansas, because of their tank towns. The rest are the same to me.

Making a map is fine however makeing one that HTC will aprove for the MA is another story. I was creating a very cool one (IMO) that was a north africa type map however what i took from my conversation with skuzzy over this matter was that i was "SOL" they would never use any map useing sand color for the ground. Even though they will use a sand colored map in the special events arena.HTC says that spacial orientation while flying was to difficult over any sand colored map.Oh well so much for that.

Big maps in one arena, small maps in the other.  What can be SO hard about that?

I agree.


I think there are actually enough maps, currently.. the problem with ozkansas (and other large maps) is they rarely get reset. so we get this situation, yet again, where both LW arenas are stuck on the same map.


midmesa, mesaview, montis, smpizza, mmesa.. I haven't seen in at least a month, I think...  even baltic and uterus and ndisles i wouldn't mind seeing at this point :)

I think what 2fo meant by this is the fact that it makes no sense what so ever to put 2 of the same exact maps in both LW arenas.  IMO..this has been consistant ever since "titanic tues" has taken effect..by default, it gets switched to the big map and stays there.
I agree with twenty, even though we have the same ol maps in rotation, better attention should be made  that the same exact map should  never happen in both LW arenas.

actually, having the same maps for slightly extended periods can be somewhat advantageous for the strat. type guys. 
 you have more time to learn the "lay of the land" for base captures. same goes for bomber pilots.

hell, even fighter pilots that like to rtb.....the territory becomes more familiar, letting you turn for home when the need arises without having to look at your charts.

There is only one good fight in this map that we have now. You have to be on the right side of the map just to get to it; it just so happens thats its a carrier fight off 111. Its always the same thing off country "Fight off 111 again.". The big huge map is alright, there is good on both sides, furballin and good GV battles, but just no one will ever win that map. Both TT(Tank Town) maps are alright, as long as they don't take the TT(Tank Town) itself.
I think there biggest problem with the rotation now is because of TT(Titanic Tuesday) which, IMO, is not even worth going to anymore. They play the same map with the carrier fight off 111, and you never swich to another side of the map.

I think it makes perfect sense !! All those people who are complaining about not being able to get into "Blue" now get the joy of flying the same map in "Orange" !!! That way they are not missing out on anything!!! Great plan HTC ! :aok

I think one issue making the maps stale is the lack of the weekly reset.

Oh yea. Well, HTC should do a tour or 2 with only old maps... That would be nice. No TT maps or nothing. Donut, Trinity...

Post by: 442w30 on September 13, 2008, 10:14:51 AM
I might be wrong but I thought that a map has to be updated to  the current equipment standard in order to be used. A map that is designed for the update that included the Sdkfz251 and P39 would have to be updated to included the latest version of the game. 

If this is true and the only problem with getting maps like Donut and Fencerma back, maybe a team can be set up to bring those up to current standards.

Skuzzy?  Any truth to this?
