People (some people) say Trinity is a bad map. If you want to look at bad maps, look at the round (pizza) map and the square map. Every bodies different. We all like different maps, but I see a great percentage wanting it back. It's not like we are going to have it all the time.

BTW, if it is brought back, adjust the starting positions in TT such that 2 of the 3 counties have only the "corner" base (if you understand what I am saying).  The result of this configuration, which only occasionally occured due to base captures, was that you always had a spawn point near an enemy base.  In turn, that meant that once anyone spawned to TT, you immediately got a flashing base, thus immediately attracting GV opponents.  

BTW, if it is brought back, keep the high mountains.  It was nice to have at least one map which forced combat at high altitudes.  We don't usually see the real-world motivator for high-altitude combat (escorted long-range bomber missions), due to the fact that most people don't have the playing time to invest in that sort of thing.  So the Trinity mechanism is in my opinion better than nothing for motivating high-alt fights.

 Bring back Trinity please. Maybe add one base each country on say a 15k alt mountain. That would give bombers something and also make for interesting fights trying to capture them. GV fights were the best on Trinity, both at v135 and the area of v28. Keep the mountains,(love those canyons) maybe add a captureable base in middle of Tank Town to make something flash.

Please bring trinity back.

Guaging by most posts about Trinity in the past 6-months prior to two-weeks ago - pitchforks, torches, and a lot of justifyable persistent discontent (including my fair share).


I may disagree, in fact many responces justify my belief than Trinity has no place in the MA for MA-style gameplay, but I respect and admire that the more recent responces have put some thought into it. 


OK, but seriously, Trinity disqualified itself.  It lacked three fair and evenly distributed base assets at start, its terrain was specificly designed to limit and be counterpoductive to spontaneous and free-style (sandbox) player participation, towns stacked ontop of fields/bases, a lack of many and dynamic V-spawns (ie: one-way, you couldn't go offensive with vehicles after toughing it out defencively), TT assets are in the center but most of the time they are uniquely ignored and underutillised....  it was an insult to players and maybe most of all to everyone who's ever submitted a better qualifying MA map, or at least that's what it comes off as when you have such a high degree for quality you hold every other map to. 

Look at all the MA maps submitted that haven't qualified yet, what specifications their design has to be tailored to meet, yet somehow Trinity was tollerated (and for all this time).

out of 13 maps, trinity was up 42.3% of the time over a whole month..

I forgot Lusche's stats from August, it showed a lot of good data about Trinity (and the other maps too).


Trinity did it to itself.  Whatever specific reason why (and when) any map is added to the rotation or pulled from it, only HTC knows.

There has never been a better GV battle than the world famous ridge fight at V135.  :D

How did you determine that?  Do you work for the NSA?

Yes please,, I miss Trinity,,, is there a reason it is gone that is posted anywhere?  could it be fixed?

who designed it?could it be redone?

The 135 fights were awesome,, as well as a-1.    Maybe 135 could be simulated in the DA?
