Yes time to remove base capture from the game
..

Only allow gv if player has spent the previous hour in a plane preferably a fighter

Have mines for pt boats so cv can be sunk quickly

Make the game about air to air fights as the title suggests

A more effective alternative would be to expand the MNM to an additional two or three nights per week, instead of restricting how players should spend their $14.95.  As you and other MNM regulars know, it’s non stop action and fun. Seems like every week lately, there are new players in and someone typically wonders why there aren’t more people checking this out. :salute

Why not leave it up all the time?  (Except for Thursday Tank Night.)

it's crackheads like this guy grouping up and crying foul over HQ that led to the grossly op gv dar and subsequent status quo of AH3 that lead so many away....

Those very people who complained then aren't even playing this game anymore. Moved onto Arma3 and other games... And ain't been back since. We are left holding it down keeping the game alive. Shut down the war I shut off my subscription!

Instant action provided by MNM and KOTH is what it is all about for some of us..

Could care less who won what base/map when...

As the game mechanics are just there to try to provide such action, whatever it takes - an instant action option besides the usually empty h2h room should be available even if it means stuffing it with AI to have targets during slow times....IMO

Crackhead?

I have never cried about anything about how the game works ... I am offering alternatives

Some use any excuse to stay out of fighters... lol

Actually, it is up in SEA2 right now.  Just need to leave the MNM Arena Message up so people will know the setup and rules, er "suggestions".   :D

Some do care, and enjoy the teamwork and strategy involved.  Some have been turned off by the 1 vs 3,4,5, or more gang style “dogfights” that the MA typically produces.  No skill involved in that, just piling on.

Monday night madness could be a good tool to get players without subscriptions back into the game, it would simply have to be held in a player created arena, not one hosted by HTC.  It wouldn't happen over night, but it already has a solid following, and any pull it had on current non paying players might be enough to set the hook and get them more involved in the game.  I'm sure if something like this was advertised on the Facebook pages, and the fact a subscription isn't needed to join in, there would be se success in pulling some old timers back in.  If it got a really big head of steam, we could maybe start Wild Wednesdays or something.

Just kind of spit balling here, as I think more activities like MNM could only help the games population, and the enjoyment of the current one.  It might help get some new players aimed the the air combat aspect of this game, and not flying in a sea of green against no opposition and tools heading.

I like to take bases too, but when there is no fight for it, we are kind of missing what made this game thrive in the first place.

My last post probably should be its own thread, I just kind of got rambling after reading some comments on here about MNM.

I’m not sure what that means.

Of course, it seems a lot of complaints are just gripes. However, I’ve asked numerous times on country and ch 200 if anyone does not like the map; only one person said they do not because there “aren’t any CVs”.

silence does not mean acceptance.

Yes, in general. However, I don’t find 200, range, vox or country channels to be lacking in opinions. 
They're casting their bait over there, see?

true, but it's always the same guys.  on knights were have a guy who every other word is cheater. on 200 there's about 4 or 5 guys who always calls somebody else a cheater.

on political talk there's always the same 10 or 15 of us who participate. as you should know.  once I asked on 200 who likes pancakes, I hate pancakes.  been with my wife for 20 years, she made me pancakes, she wanted some so she made some for me. only 2 or 3 guys said they like pancakes, does that mean the other 100 dont like pancakes?  or they just didnt care to reply.

that's probably what happened to your question.

Not sure what you mean, haven’t had trouble getting players to give their opinion on the map, except from those that said they have never seen it.

If you go back to the beginning of this thread, the topic is about it being rolled easily vs. others like Crater and others that stay up much longer.

you mean to tell me that all the players have given you an opinion on this map?  if they loved this map so much, they wouldn't roll it so fast.  that's what I got from your first post.  I understand you want this map to stay longer, so since the map gets rolled fast, i guess most players just dont want to play on it.  prove me wrong.
