Redo Arenas
« on: January 30, 2009, 03:10:23 AM »
So many arenas, so little activity.  MA, DA, TA, and SE and AvA all that is needed.  Have you noticed the trend in building newer stadiums, they are putting in less seats.  The perception that most folks have is, if nobody else is in the arena, it must not be fun (self fulfilling prophecy).   So, if the WWI idea comes about I would like to see it replace the redundant main arenas.

Or, another idea:

Split Main arenas into Pacific Theater with carriers, European Theater without or very limited carrier use, North Africa Campaign with super Tank Town battlefields.

I'd have to say splitting the arenas into theaters would be a far better decision than reducing the overall arena numbers.

No. I remember the original MA, and I hated it. I much prefer the 'new' split. I also remember a lot of whines about having just one arena.

So...... MacLeod.....  :uhoh Do the numbers agree with you or disagree?  I'm just saying, there always seems to be a decent # of players in the LW arenas and DA.  To a newb, there is no reason to try anything else.  I like the idea of flying around unmolested by jets and La7s, but it hasn't seemed to be a big draw for some reason.  Up the ante, and make the alternatives more enticing.  I know that there is a large base of players that enjoy Pacific Theater planes, as there is a large base of players that enjoy Luftwaffe planes and tank battles.  It just seems that not too many players are into Earlier war models exclusively.

That was known as H2H, which will eventually be reintroduced to the world of AH. :D

Actually, they aren't building new stadiums with fewer seats....just fewer cheap seats. If WWI is implemented, I would guess that EW would probably be replaced. I know it has been "on the bubble" for some time now.

FFA was by far the most fun air combat part of H2H.. HtHide's FFA maps were nearly perfect.

aplogies for the reply time, had other commitments. I don't disagree with you on any particular point, but from what I hear, a lot of people enjoy Midwar and there are decent numbers in there during peak times (From what I hear, im a limey so cant say that its true). Also, if we go by what Hitech seem to be asking, I get the feeling they will start trying to flesh out the EW planeset, hopefully, key word here, drawing in more custemers to EW. I personally like EW when you find a fight, simply because of the guarantee that its not a LA or Spixteen. Chances are its a 2c, but if perked (I can dream) then it would limit this problem. The thing is, we already have the MA, its LW, so therefore I think that having the OPTION to fight spixteens and LA's or not to should be there. As mentioned, I hope that Hitech does flesh out the planeset, as this will allow more interesting fights. The Brewster being added will already spice things up a little.

Interesting comments and pics of H2H :aok  Yes, I remember the good ole days.  Even Fighter Town or Donut map (I believe) was a hoot in AH2.  Then along came ENY, split arenas and super ack ack.  :confused: 

I agree MacLeod, EW arena should be a nice area for good match ups  :salute 

Sorry, HTC but I am loosing interest in the NOE raids and HORDE pick nik's.  When the base capture became a chore to be accomplished by hordes or sneak attacks, it tore my squad apart. 

Currently, I just fly almost exclusively Rook and am not pleased with the low number of missions or even communications, that were once a Rook trademark. :salute  I could abandon the only MA squad I have ever flown with and join some really good (large and skilled) squad but unfortunately, I am wired to be loyal to the bitter end (with hopes that is not in the near future). :pray
