Ok, I know this has been posted, reposted, and posted again, but I know im not the only one screaming for new maps. I cant even imagine some of the guys that have been playin this game for 5 years or more with the same maps over and over. I dont understand why we cant incorporate some of the AvA, FSO, or SEC maps into Main Arena Combat. It would be more realistic for both Gvers and Air monkeys. Now, my computer normally sucks pretty bad so I cannot fly in FSO for sure, and even some Snapshots my FR is just craptastic, but I really think it would liven up the game to have some new terrain to fight over. Thoughts?

I would like to see a few new maps...sure.
Historical maps sometimes aren't that good because they can be harder to divided evenly into three countries. :cheers:

two countries sound interesting to me

The above mentioned maps are 2 sided. HTC has already stated they have tested and 3 sided is the way to go for a public arena. So with that, changing over a 2 sided map to 3 would be as much work as just making a 3 sided map. MA maps also have to pass a few more test than do the others. This is one of the reasons the others are a bit easier to make. Controls on the MA maps are much tighter.
We have 11 MA maps. I have never seen any where they HTC will provide more maps down the line. I'm ok with that as I'd rather see them work on more planes and ground vehicles as well as working on game mechanics. Seeing as it takes a good 6 months to build a map and test it we are looking at a coup,e of new planes/vehicles that we would miss out on just to have a new map that the horde can run around and "win de warz!".
On the other hand, HTC will accept player made maps as long as they follow and meet the strict criteria they demand for a MA map. So get to work! It's the only way you'll see a new map.

Neither can I - because we got several new MA maps during that time ;)
We have 11 MA maps.
Minor addition: Since early June, we had 13 different maps up in the LWMA.

Thanks for the imput guys...and tend to forget about the fact that all the historical based maps are 2 countries and and the MAs are for the 3. :aok

Maps with fjords and high mountains :D

Almost all the maps in the MA, SEA, and AvA, etc. have been made by players. HTC doesn't really make maps. So download the Terrain editor, post questions and ask advice in the terrain forum, and make a map.

I disagree. If that blasted map "Mundanao" is considered balanced, then I KNOW all those wonderful SEA maps can have some fields slapped on them in a balanced manner and then used. There are desert maps, snow maps, and sparsely wooded maps, etc etc. Variety would be VERY nice.

You can still have historical based maps with 3 sides. There can be a map of the MTO, ETO, CBI and PTO and each will be large enough to encompass 3 sides and all the necessary bases and strats.
ack-ack

One of the criteria for making all maps is having 3 countries, AFAIK. There are a few larger Special Events maps that have different looks and even some towns and fields are made to look different. I believe, those maps with custom destructible items would be more fun, but also a major headache from whines about the differences. Some would love them and others would not. We all know the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
