Mindanao is a good map, except that it concentrates the action too much towards the center.

I have to say it.

The central africa map is great for lone wolves, but it discourages teamwork by spreading people out.

It has too many gv spawns that kill you instantly and many more that ae useless due to extreme hills , not enough roads, bad positioning for hq, too many hills in what is supposed to be the ground vehicle area, bad spawns for pt boats, too many bad high alt base configs(what WAS the point of making a high alt base that bombers can't take off from anyway?) not enough water for large naval battles/areas to hide cvs...

I could go on but overall I must vote bad map.

I LOVE the map because I like my 3 hours bombing runs without alot of fighters after me, but as a team-based game map I hjave to vote bad map.

Sorry. Hey, at least I like it :)

Central Africa Map?

Post by: Innominate on September 13, 2002, 01:11:27 AM

Aydo, you're wrong about akdesert.

The small maps are the ones that require the least teamwork.  They're small enough that a team will spread out over the entire front line.  Fighting in the same place doesn't mean teamwork.  They require the least teamwork, since whereever you go there will be plenty of people blindly attacking.

Taking bases on akdesert alone is easy, but winning it requires significant teamwork.  Players need to not only fly side by side, they need to coordinate with each other.

There are two groups of people who really get screwed on akdesert.  The furballers who believe that the bigger the furball, the better.  And the la7 pilots. :P  Though even on akdesert, there is almost always a good furball available.

For people who prefer smaller fights, on the order of 10vs10 or smaller, the other maps can't even come close.

Very good post but ... hit the wrong link for AKDesert and tried a second time and was called a handsomehunk!!! I'm not a handsomehunk maybe only a little dumb... :D

BTW only a slight criticism here IMO the question should be

Do u want this map to stay in rotation?

Yes
No
Whatever

My "team" of me and 2 of my squad mates took 5 fields tonight.

Milkrunning 100 bases does not need teamwork. Hitting the final nail in the coffin (last 20 or so bases) does. But, then you would have the size of the other maps.

Winning pie map does not require alot of teamwork at all, until the very end when the size of one country is reduced to that of other maps. The teams spread out so far that it only takes a few people to take multiple bases in key areas, paving the way for a reset.

Also, there was a post I read saying "pie map is unreal", and a picture of central africa was shown in rebuttal. The picture (from high ) looked alot like the pie map.

WHEN DO WE GET NEW MAPS?!?! Did anyone see the post ages ago from Nuttz, when he created some of his own terrains? I think HTC needs to add some new terrains in the next release or at least consider doing something about it in the near future. It would greatly add to the gameplay and immersion.

Unscientific poll.  I never took the poll, yet when I click the hypertext, it tells me I have.

Rigged no doubt.

Listen, if you DON'T like the pizza map, quite 'cher whining and get off your dead ass, and MAKE ONE, then submit it to HTC.  I think what the AK's did was a good thing, trying to contribute to the community.  If you don't like it, make a better one. period.

I like pizza map! I look forward to more maps being added! Should this map stay in the rotation? Of course it should! Resets should not take hours they should take days, and squads should not be able to jump ship from country to country every time the wind changes direction! Unless you live in France! :p

They're all good maps.  I log on to take bases not to piss and moan.

My fellow Rooks can back me up on that too.

What Ripsnort said.

Fortunately the maps are different, and hence influence the way we play. Otherwise it would get boring quick.

Try driving an m3 off of the cliff of one of the high alt bases on the dueling map.

If you get enough speed, and line up just right, you can do a flip, land on your wheels, and keep going. :D

Innominate, nice poll.

Can I ask you to try another poll?

since some feedback is being collected here. could you start a poll of what people would like to SEE in a map?

Canyons ( canyon fighting)
Hi alt feilds ( for buffs )
waterways ( for CV's )

more GV fights?
less GV fights
closer feilds
farther fields
less feilds more fields, etc etc,

What componants would people want to see in a map?

what makes a "good" map?

size of map...

we'll you get my point.

Thanks,
NUTTZ

It seems your poll indicates that the majority of UBB readers prefer furballing.

And this is a surprise? :(

Oh and nuttz,
The script as it is right now can only handle three-choice responses.  I will be updating it to handle more and different types of responses soon though.

I am a bit baffled by the direction the game is going.  If you fly across any MA map, the majority of moving objects you see will be fighters. Yet, they seem to be to be doing everything possible to make the Things That Shoot Backwards crowd happy.  This map seems to be intended for that purpose. Also, the recent interview with HT indicated that this trend will continue.  I would think that making the fighter pilots happy would make more financial sense, in the long run. If a game comes along that panders more to the fighter pilots, the over worked server problem may go away quick.

Easymo,
Turning buffs into little more than HQ killing target drones isn't catering to fighters?

Most of the buff pilots have stopped flying buffs.   to those still flying them, as futile as it may be.

Mindano would be a great map if it had a few islands out in the south west.
