Sorry for the caps. Life wasn't bad before the upgrade, now Gving u get the added joy of driving across nearly flat landscape with the added bonus of getting ranged 5k away. WHY did u get rid of the hills? Vehicles r exposed over large areas of terrain. Would it be so difficult to put a tanktown in EVERY map without the silly little spawn in types? The tank town where each team gets 3 v bases and an airbase is perfect. Not everyone enjoys driving 10 minutes to a base in some cases, nor do they have the time every time they log on. The trees r excessive in the new maps, and the hills are nearly all gone. I hope this isn't the final upgrade because if a person likes GVing these maps are a major disappointment. If all a person does is fly a plane your good to go, who cares. :furious I'm giving this a couple weeks to see where it goes and hopefully it will be in a more positive direction. I don't know who's advice you took to implement these changes but it doesn't seem like you asked anyone that uses GVs a lot.

To be honest the hills looked stupid, I can't say I've ever seen a natural hill that looked like what we have in game... I don't GV much, but from what I can tell the ground war has improved. I love the forests that you can drive through but are very difficult to shoot through.

They have taken away all the hills, now its just palm trees that you cant shoot threw the leaves/branches? I mainly GV and IMO it has practically ruined the ground game. Even the solid hedgerows were an improvement over this. (thats why I quit)
To be honest the hills looked stupid
Id rather hide behind something that looks stupid, then nothing at all. :D
-
I actually enjoy GVing more. Love lurking through the trees.
-
On a scale of 1 to 10 i'd give the GV aspect a 6. I do really miss the little hills even though they did look unnatural.
I would suggest at least adding hedgerows that can be driven through in 1st gear.
I'm not sure if its possible but the leaves on a tree stopping my 75mm round needs to be fixed, I can see a tree trunk stopping the round.
If these two changes were made I would give the new version a 10 out of 10

I remember beFORE we had the hills, and I effing HATED the hills when they came out. Just a buncha DR7's all hunting for the perfect hull-down spot from which to invisibly plunk you from afar. He will still kill me of course, but it will be HARDER!
-
Bring back the rocks from AHI that when you touched one you'de explode. :rock
-
So there are too many trees to hide behind and not enough hills? I must be honest, I have not been off a base in a GV since the upgrade.
-
Hs avatar freaks me out man. I thought I seen it move :confused:
-
It is much better now! A true running GV battle. If you sit still to long...WAMMO. :aok
-
Spent som time at TT on NDIsles, it was fun
-
that what we need, mine fields
-
I remember beFORE we had the hills, ...
Me too ... I had as much fun then as I do now when I jump in a GV.
I use to love the long distance dueling matches ... the guy that could range the fastest was usually the winner ... it was like being a sniper, but using a tank gun instead of a sniper rifle.
-
that what we need, mine fields
We had them back in the day ... they were disguised as white rocks.

Full throttle, high gear...don't camp. Easy stuff.
How many maps have circulated since the upgrades? 2 maybe 3? If you're not flexible enough to adjust to different terrains...it's your loss.
-
The only difference with out the hills is that there is a higher turn over rate at the spawn campground. More people dying more often on all sides. So no, there will be no more 30 - 50 kills per sortie in a tiger hiding in a hole. Personally I think that all gv spawn on spawn locations should be removed. Half the time one spawn is facing in the wrong direction making it impossible to fight out of a camped situation. I.E you spawn in facing west and the enemy spawn is to your side and you have no time to manuver either your tank or your turret.

The only people squealing about the new / old style of GV'ing are the habitual campers. Perhaps a fresh out look is all that's needed especially if you have the ability to fire on the move.
Not to worry though campers ...they're chucking in some taller hedges so you can whack a mole till hearts content :rolleyes:
-
This was on another topic so don't worry they are on top of it.
Regarding the hills, we removed them because we were having a lot of trouble getting them to look right with the new way the terrain is displayed, so we've removed them for now. They will most likely be put back into the game after we get the major stability issues cleared up, and we have time to work on the smaller issues.
The hedgerows will be fixed with the next patch that involves an art update. I had accidentally made them too small. You will have plenty to hide behind soon enough.

I quit because the ground game sux, and the new terrains on low res look freaking pathetic...
Still ghosting around waiting to see if they actualy intend on doing anything about the new terrains, or just want the folks who can afford graphics cards as customers...
Id love to see them headline that they are throwng out the new terrains because they sukk, but I seriously doubt its going to happen, geeez... so much time wasted on a terrible product. :mad:

Someone needs a new Nuk and a better computer. The only terrible product so far is what you've been skating by playing this game on...step into the 21st century with the rest of us geeks...and get a better computer.
-
I hear with patch #5 out the low detail setting terrain is 10,000% better, lay off stephen.
-
Do you own a tent and a lantern?
Not anymore since 1985... :)
-
Why have trees. They just take more Parts off my 38 as I try to ditch :rolleyes:

Oh thank God, I thought I missed the sky is falling thread. :rolleyes:

I quit... blah blah blah
Good riddance.

Low res looks much better now, I stand corrected...
Oh and fellas, I really dont care one little bit what you think about me..., if no one complains, nothing gets changed.
See you around :lol
-
We had them back in the day ... they were disguised as white rocks.
LMAO!! I can still remember those lovely 2 x 4's laying on the ground, from destroyed buildings. You know.....the ones that would EVERYTIME either flip your Tiger over, or downright kill ya, for trying to roll over one :rofl :rofl :rofl
AHHHHH....for the good ole days :rock

True but the way you did it was more like a noob dweeb whining because his computer sucks and he expects HTC to fix it for him. Constructive criticism is one thing, blaming someone else for inadequacies on your end (crap computer) is just plain... :cry
Think about that next time you think you have something to complain about.
-
I'll glady pay you tuesday for a graphics card today. Credit card or ask the rent's for an early Bday gift! :x

Complaints are normal and can be done in a respectful manner.
Your behavior is that of a 7 year old stomping his feet.

I personally think the new version made GV'ing a hell of a lot more fun. Mainly because you really have to know what you're doing to get a kill and not to die. I think it's better because it's harder.

Torps require you to be slower that 200 & lower than 200... see here---->

As for 30 I was very lucky to get that many when calling an "alert" :salute

You know what this was brought into being as a FLIGHT SIM, not A GV SIM, I personally liked it better when the gv's were limited in AHI. But Dale was hit with so many requests for more gv's like world war II online had so now we have all the gv's we have now, if I had been in charge (which would probably have been short lived as I would have been broke) I would have told the gv people THIS IS A FLIGHT SIM! ! ! ! ! OF COURSE if that had happened I wouldn't have my AH now, but it didn't and I do, so if you dont like the gv game now UP A PLANE, LOL
SALUTE

I would have told the gv people THIS IS A FLIGHT SIM! ! ! ! !
And you'd have been incorrect. :)

so if you dont like the gv game now UP A PLANE, LOL
And my response would be, id rather own you in a tank then a plane.
