Author Topic: New MA map (Read 1881 times)

Speed55 · « **on:** April 04, 2006, 10:14:31 AM »

I drew up a picture for a new MA map using MS paint, it's not the best picture in the world but its decent, and gets the point across. I would like some opinions, but no matter what i try to do, no site will let me upload the picture to it, to post it.
So basically I would like to email the picture to someone that can post it on here, then have the community throw in there input on what should be changed, or left alone.
The map has all the fighter fields, and vehicle fields, as well as spawn points, and strat locations and owners. The only thing i didn't do was place the town locations.
It's a good sized map, with all aspects of attack and defense thought out. I drew the map so that furballers, land grabbers, and the gv crew, could all have fun.
I would like this to be a total community effort so:
Feel free to p.m. me so we can get the ball rolling.
Thanks

looks fun!:aok

gotta make sure all countries are the same size though. and maybe have the FT bases a little bit closer, only by a few miles.

would be a fun map methinks

I like the idea (its like an inverted sfma!), but I disagree on moving "FT" fields closer. A sector is 25 miles, and they're just about a sector from each other. I'd say "a few miles" is faaaar too close. Maybe move them 25% closer, at the most.

The only problem with it is that it's too sparse. There aren't enough fields overall, and some of the ones that are there are rather far apart.

I think for a modern MA map you need at LEAST 100 fields total. Most larger maps have 200+

Then again, it all depends, right?

WTF? deleted for flame????

How is drawing a crappy 2 minute picture of pizza map considered flaming, HiTech?

I like the idea, would work well for 250 players, with more than that would have system over load in the hot spots.

It was a shameless plug for the new Burger King flame broiled pizza?

The bases need to be closer and more of them.

My $.02

Agreed, more bases, closer together. There would be the initial flight time to cross the water when the map is new but as soon as bases are taken
across the water then the battles can begin.

The only other issue i can see is that the FT islands would get taken. They are too strategically placed.

bases look too far apart... I'd get bored pretty quick and find myself doing something else.

Reschke · « **Reply #13 on:** April 04, 2006, 02:16:49 PM »

Who said anything about those being "FT" fields? To me they look like jump off points to start the whole fight. Forget "FT" on every map, its just no feasible unless we stay with the same map like the one up now all the time.

Krusty · « **Reply #14 on:** April 04, 2006, 02:27:24 PM »

I agree Reschke, but Poo called them that, so I put that in quotes, to reference what he was talking about.

I wouldn't want to isolate them on this map, because they WOULD be key strategic bases.
