Yup, the toolshedder hordemonkeys will spill in their pants over this map. I logged in and sure enough, there were a couple of hordes rolling undefended bases. Hordes from each side, but they will never meet because they consists of eunich vulchers and toolshedders that fear being involved in a fight. If they are, they can always re-up in some other abandoned corner of the map after they are quickly sent to the tower. Terrible for gameplay unless you like bombing buildings.
While you were constantly whining on 200, there were many pitched battles all over the map. I wanted to furball? No problem. I had a few one-on ones at remote, smaller battles (mostly lost 'em - I suck tonight), I thwarted a low scale enemy "sneak" of a Vfield, I was hunting buffs, took part in a quick CV battle...
I never had any problems finding a fight, actually I found more variations in them.
This big maps give us back some opportunity to do ALL the things we wanna do, switching between playing styles without having to wait a few days 'till another map comes up. GV battles far away from airfields so that the Vh's aren't dropped every 2mins, CV action, strat runs, furballing.. all is there.
And for that pet argument "toolshedders can hide all the day": As I already said many times : We could do that before. When I log on there is one arena with 150 players and 3 with less than 20 - I didn't need any large map to fly without any opposition.
