One night a week Titanic Tuesday style, two sides and unlimited side switching would work. But, only once a week.

As soon as it became the MA norm, 7 days a week. Human nature (we area always very bad kids gentlemen) would wring every bad thing possible out of it. Once a week the novelty factor would have us looking forward to the 24 hours of difference. ENY would have to be a ball buster to help everyone remember to side balance frequently instead of try to always be on the "winning" side of the kester whuppin.

The map would have to be some giant version of the TT and furball island mentality. Since side switching at will is greifing missions and other well laid plans to screw people for the sake of screwing people.

Very interested in the 2 side Tuesday idea.

+1, can't hurt to try, sometimes things do change, other times not so much. At least if HTC tries it and it fails, then they can officially post on the BBS and the main page that they did it, so no more whines.  But, if it does work, then we get what we want.. more fights!  :rock

I already tried 2 counties and also 4 counties. So why must I try again?

Was population comparable at the time?  My hunch it was quite a bit higher.

As mentioned above there are already good two sided maps used in FSO and Special Events


Ranger and the other mapmakers can (and will) correct me, but AvA terrains, while beautiful and functional, will not reset in the same manner as MA terrains reset when there's a "win."

Might be able to fix that, but so far as I know that would require HTC reprogramming.

What if we wind up down to only two players like Warbirds?


(Just kidding!)

Two-sided map isn't a panacea, obviously.   But can't we just shrink the maps when the player numbers are lower?  It seems rather ridiculous to have twice as many bases as players.

Any time 2 to 32 players are looking for a fight they can set up a custom arena with no icons, crosswind landing, night time, free for all, air spawns etc. on any terrain they want to use. The only thing they won't have is MA score.
