Title: What was changed on the Pizza map?
Post by: Ack-Ack on July 25, 2003, 03:18:43 PM

What was changed on the Pizza map?  Just wondering because the auto-downloader kicked in while logging on this afternoon and downloaded the Pizza map.

I don't think anything has changed. I didn't have to d/l the terrain.

terrible map.. no action at all on the pizza.  The fields are too far apart and that promotes ultra timid behavior and lack of action.  worst map we have by a long shot.

Yep.. Pizza map sucks rocks. Log on in the morning hours (EDT) and you fly all over the place and are lucky to get 2 or 3 enemy to shoot at. I hate pizza.

This thread isn't about whether or not Pizza map is good but rather was anything new added since I had to download the map on Friday when logging on.

Next time, at least post something that has something to do with the thread in question and not some little agenda you're trying in vain to promote.

I might add for the sake of discussion that pizza blows chunks..

..and reeks of a outhouse door on a tuna boat..

Nope, haven't changed a thing.

Amen. i could barely find a fight and there was a severe lack of interest in any body gathering together for missions. People seem to be a bit pissed off on this map and theres plenty of squeaking going on too. Is it just the map ? i dont know but it sure seems like it. I can tollerate the pizza map but a week of it is hard work. and we are only 2 days into it!

I really like Big Isles though as in that map , although thesame size as pizza there seems to be more areas where people gather and its easier to SEE whats going on in the whole map. Pizza is almost too dark to see and the zoomed out map and map room map are useless for moniotring or planning things. It was an admirable try by the AKs but it just doesnt work.

Couldnt we adapt it a bit? maybe turn those huge pizza slices into a more believable shape? make more of the map water with plenty of ports? move a few bases on the outer edges closer together for laz and other furballers and put the HQ nearer the center of countries territories.The HQ is far too vulnerable and the altitude of it often hinders the defenders!. Once te base next to the HQ is down its almost impossible to defend the HQ. It takes you 40 minutes to fly there from other bases!!! a dead straight coastline for 400 miles is a bit silly and so are the 16k valleys. Its all a little bit silly.

One change I noticed _ enemy GV spawn points no longer show up. Is that just new on this map or is that new on all maps?

We put a crying corner on the map.  Folks like Lazs go to the tower (at this special field) and say anything over channel 1 comms.  It's not heard by anyone except those folks at the crying corner.  It's kinda like an IRC room.  Lazs has long needed something like this -- public displays are often very embarrassing for the BKs.    S! BKs - The AKs are always willing to help with problem kiddos.

Most fun I've had in a long while was the pizza today.

All the maps are good if you find the rite group to mix it up with.
BK's

Having the CV close to an enemy field helps tho.

why dos everyone hate the pizza map, i have alot of fun on it but i dont use the MA....so mayb thats the problem

Title: What was changed on the Pizza map?
Post by: lazs2 on July 29, 2003, 08:00:08 AM

yep sax... a CV is in effect a close field.   No CV fights on pizza and.... no real fights.

yep curly... everyone is wrong..  the three AK's that claim to like the pizza map are the only right ones.

i like pizza wtg AK's! the only thing i dont like is the alt of the ground level.

... and lazs, i dont know what map u been playing because there is nearly always a cv fight going on.

Title: What was changed on the Pizza map?
Post by: lazs2 on July 29, 2003, 09:05:59 AM

furball.. it may be because I fly nits.   When nits had about even or superior numbers a few tours back there were allways good cv fights..  when you are outnumbered by oh, say, 20-50% the cv fights don't happen or don't last.  Had a good one last night for a while but because we were so down on fields and numbers they were able to kill the field we were at.  end of cv fight.

'Twas a blast !!! ... until your fellow countrymen showed up and the gang-fest started, followed closely by the "porkage" crew.

We killed each other so many times last night I lost count, but I think that I am still 1 up on ya ... :D

Great fight last night with the BK's and Co....too bad the strateeeegery folks showed up on both sides....I just don't get how taking fields is more fun than the fight itself.

When I logged on we had one air field and all the hangers were dead. Waited 10mins untill a hanger upped. Flew 2 flights landed 6 kills and logged. Was a sight watching the bishrooks gang vultch a field. At least I didnt have to fly very far to get in a fight. Just get to the end of the runway wheels up fights on!

ice you were either lucky or the bish/rook hordes vultching were totally talentlless while you were on... if that is not the case I would love to hear your secret for taking off with 20 planes vultching the runway.  

I have never seen a plane be able to take off when I was vultching and fighting with 20 other nits over the kill.

If we'd known how much whining that damn map would generate starting a month before anyone even saw it we would have made it even more sucky. ;)

  Simple lazs the hangers were all dead. The vulching had moved away from the field as they tried to clean up stragglers. When the hanger came up I was able to take off. Get 2 quick kills land exit. Now the vulchers came back to the field and knights were mass upping. I just rolled out of the hanger and was able to get up. 4 mores kills landed those. Thats when the mass gang vultch started and I dont take off from a field like that so I logged.

ok ice... i just thought you might have found a way to make the AK steamroller map fun when there were no CV's around.   Guess there really isn't any way short of luck to make it fun... unless watching paint dry is your idea of fun.

You're lying, Lazs.  I don't know three AKs who like the pizza map. :D

It was fun to do; we all learned a lot (never, ever do it again; never be the first to do something; and never try to please the general public. )  :)
