all this time here and you are ignorant of the fact that the war was implemented to promote COMBAT.....the FOCAL point of the arena's........ ALL arena's....everything in AH is about COMBAT........... virtual COMBAT.......using WW2 equipment... wouldn't think someone with your history here would even question that..... let alone....put out a completely wrong statement.
I dont think my statement is wrong ...the focal point of the arena is War and the war has been created to generate conflict.....ergo combat follows.... I can take this debate right back to AWII/III as capture was added to the game there.
Yup playing since 96 thats the fact I have observed regarding arena gameplay setup. Pure combat can be generated in all sorts of game play models like WOT for instance where there is no WAR just Combat. In AH main arenas there is a war and without that war the conflict/combat would be quite different.
HTC can say what it like's on the cover page but the MA is set for War, it rewards the winners of War, it rewards the survivors of War, it is the focal point
it is also the carrier for conflict which allows a great deal of choice re style of conflict, place of conflict, advantages in conflict, etc etc
ergo alt monkeys, pickers, vultures, hordes, bomblards, milkrunners etc etc...we all get to choose but the only common theme is the war whether we wish to ignore it or not.
