Do you like those skins you use in the MA?
What about NHawks MA terrains as well as every other terrain currently available in any arena including all the ones in the MA arenas?

You realize they had their roots in the H2H community? That buried in the source files for the MA terrains are the names of former H2H players. And that now, new people interested in suffering the steep learning curve of terrain making has all but dried up? You understand that right? No, I guess you don't.:confused:

The lack of private arenas (to test ideas) bothers me, because as someone on the terrain team, I don't see where the next generation of terrain builders will come from. A great tool for our work has been denied to us by one or two hackers. I'm with every other poster in this thread on this one, they understand it'll never be "free" again but more importantly, they understand something of what we've all lost.


Yes and with all those positive contributions it was burned to the ground overnight by HTC.  Only reason can be the risks and negatives far outweighed any benefit and that's solely because of the players involved. Has HTC run out of maps? 8 player subscription service has been discussed ad nauseum, it usually ends up a being a bunch of posts on why it should be offered discounted or basically free.

To be more accurate....HTC refused to rebuild it after hackers burned it to the ground. There is a difference.

True, so for whatever positives it may have had it was more than offset by the negatives and potential destruction for the game overall. New maps just weren't worth it.
