Not a wishlist request, this is a plea

I know this is going to sound crazy, but sometimes other players like the map(s) you don't.

Yes even the people who like Buzzsaw

Why was the original CraterMA changed for AH3, but Baltic, Mindinao and Montis (Montis is a good map) are same since AH2 if not since AH 1? 

In its original form, Crater was beloved by the GV peeps and provided enough air action across the rest of the map to keep them satisfied, yes some moaned…. I can remember having massive Kursk like battles on Crater.

If we were allowed to get rid of three, I’d vote against Baltic, Mindinao and NDIsles in that order.

With a few tweaks Baltic and Mindinao could be brought up to accommodate current playing conditions/desires.

A poll on bbs allowing for us to rank each map might provide a lot of insight as to whether our thoughts an opinions are somewhere in majority or not. The maps I mentioned are also ones I hear/see on country complained about…, anecdotal, yes.

Smaller maps, need about 40% of the grids with today's numbers imo...who cares if they roll over daily..isn't "winning" the map what the non a2a players care about most?

New much smaller maps seems to be the way to influence the games future going forward as not much seems to possible any other way..

Just remove BowlMA through Oceana entire section. Would make a world of difference. All of those maps are horrible for off hours and don't build up action during the day. Then they get stuck on the weekends because they don't get won very easily. This leaves smaller #s going into primtime. I notice it on all of these maps. Smpizza could stay I guess but its kinda old too.

Like when I look on Saturday and there's only 35 players at 4pm. I know that it's one of those maps on.

If you don't build up #s before primetime and don't keep #score after primetime, that's when you know maps aren't really priloviding the best battles.

Far bases especially are horrible for off hours. No one wants to fly 10 minutes to a field just for maybe one guy to fight and far bases really hurt the fighter effort after primetime as players begin to log. If they have to fly far away from a back field or far away to the battle, they will all log out faster.

No, we need less garbage maps to remember.  I'd venture not everyone spends the amount of time here that 75% of the current population does.  We aren't regulars.  But i can see garbage spawns and lame gameplay when I spot it.

Ndisles.used to spark some really good furballs between a8/a7 and similar bases.. now it's loaded with puffy ack.

Quit with this resupply trash and spawns to strats and start fighting...

Or start designing some 18 wheeler cargo haulers.

I thought Kenai77 did an excellent job revamping ndisles as best as he could. Adding better m3 spawn points, moving placement of certain bases, the VH spawns to towns, and the additional fleets really turned that map around.

Low numbers DO NOT SUPPORT THAT MAP. The extreme downtimes experienced by players between fights is a factor into what cripples the game numbers wise. Even I, a war driven player, am recognizing how dire the situation really is. Maps that do not promote action (Fights under 10 minutes) AND require over 25 miles between bases need to be shelved. I know that is xtreme but good grief.

Dunno if bbs has a polling sys., but I think I can run them on my page.

Why is it so wrong to enjoy a map and not care how long it sticks around?

There are like six or so maps that I like a lot and could care less how long it takes for anything.

It seems to me that critical mass is the term that should apply here. Most of the original small maps are the ones that always seems to have action most times you log in. They reach critical mass quicker.

I'd like to see just the small maps in the rotation for a few weeks to see how it works out.

Yes Maps have always been important to game play where we had the numbers to conquer most of the bigger maps and so on. Apparently today we are lucky to get 100 players at the prime time . We as players always seem to find a fight but then again we have to fly many sectors At times for that first fight. I am really a big fan of the rescent maps made by Kenai and Obe they seem the draw some good fights .
That’s my 2 cents   oh ya tonight was the first tnt we had fun but t half the people who said they would come back because they missed t never showed.  I will keep Running TnT til the day this game has its plug pulled

I would prefer some maps stuck around longer than others. I like playing win the war more than just boring A2A but I’m not in a big ole hurry to do so on maps I like.

I bet most of the complainers of this topic are those who play this game 24/7. I play 5-6 hours a week and don’t really care what’s happening when I log on. If there are no battles I will just go off and bomb something.

Except Buzzsaw… that map is horrid!
