Been here long enough to know that the tone of this request is not going to go very far with Hitech.

Which maps do you think are stupid, and why?   I don't care for SMPizza or Buzzsaw, because they look like nothing in the real world.  Personally, I would appreciate them being removed from the regular map rotation and replace with Northco, so we see that small map more often.

In the meantime, the way I deal with these two maps is to zoom in far enough on the clipboard view so I don't see the entire map at once.  They aren't as bad if you don't view the whole map image.

I've beat this horse to a pulp, and doing studies when i log in. It's my belief and knowledge that some maps are totally detrimental to #s.

Glad to see more people speaking out about it though!

Gotta wonder why HT doesn't speak on the subject of map rotation..

If it is nothing more than a list, why wouldn't he try to edit it and see if it was better?

there are only 14 of these maps you don't like, 4 or 5 of them are less than 3 years old.
but if you can make a better map then by google do so. it still has to be approved by HiTech.

Would you like / dislike me saying your post and comments were stupid?     :uhoh
I'm kind of thinking dislike

When I'm in the middle of a dog-fight, bombing some part of enemy territory, driving someplace to die in my tank or vehicle, I'm 1- not looking at a map, technically that's wrong. You have to glance at it to keep your SA up. 2- only care about the portion of the map shown in the bombsite circle, 3- only care if the terrain is water, land or a bridge.


Anything HiTech, repeat ANYTHING..... he replies about just gives a portion of the crowd something to complain about it seems to me.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.
