I sure hope this thing blows over sometime in the near future, because the MA was a lot of fun during the peak hours. Maybe not always so much for the people who only want to dogfight, but then, that's what the H2H and Dueling arenas were/are for.
I had some really good times flying with a good amount of other players, trying to take enemy bases (sometimes successful, sometimes not). I also had equally good times flying support over tank town. And then, there were the missions where over a hundred players would join and attempt to take out an enemy's headquarters (this rarely worked, but it was great to be intercepted by Me-163's, and flying bombers is exhilirating when P-47's come out of nowhere to attempt to take a chunk out of your tail)
There's just something "special" about having 400+ players in one arena. There are just so many possibilities that come along with such a large amount of players that just aren't there with only 120. You can whine about "whordes" or "vulch queens" all you want, but not being able to defend against a horde attack is more of a matter of poor strategic planning on the part of the team as a whole... And getting vulched constantly is pretty ridiculous, since it really only happens when people try to take off from fields that are being swarmed, rather than fields that are nearby where they could coordinate a counter-offensive.
Maybe in the not-too-distant future, AH will have enough planes for each country so that we can have a true rolling planeset for a single main arena (now now, people, this is just a dream/theory, not a suggestion, so please try to keep your flamethrowers concealed). This could possibly eliminate a lot of the source for whining... Hey, one can dream, right?
With all of this said, I guess I'll just have to see how things turn out, for better or worse.
Well said,
i think same way about the game, and so does most of the players, I still hope to see the massive multiplayer flavour back in game,
