I like all the maps that allow a cap out. It feels even better to win by taking all the flags and hunting down every last enemy.

Cappable always!

[Captain John H. Miller]

Both versions have their pros and cons. The cappable one is nice with low pop, as you can cap it out if everyone likes to move on. Another pro is the ability to get 2 mains and double the amount of tanks. Con, your base can be capped and you lose a lot of strenght so someone has to stay to defend the base. The uncappable one is nice because you can have very nice tank battles. No one hás to defend the base, it cannot be capped. No worries you will be camped/raped on a flag without tanks. Con; you cannot cap it out with low pop and end it prematurely.

In my experience the uncappable main, if one team is able to defend them both, really screws over the map.  Deen is a good may if there is enough people,really sucks to be on the one team that has a middle flag getting hammered with no tanks.

Any map sucks when you're down to one flag and getting hammered.

Defense is part of the game. Everyone groans when the allies cap the top flag on omaha. It needs a "bored guy on defense". Should that be made an uncap too?

The allied main in bulge? The af in wake? Allied main in tobruk? Move a flag across the river and make it uncap in berlin? Just defend/use your equipment or lose it.

Deen is probably the easiest mains to defend too. Only entrances are to the left and right of the bunkers, and you can see the enemy from a mile off. Huck some mines on the ramps, hop in the defgun, and call for a sniper to spot you.

For most tankers I know, this map is about fighting tank vs tank. not about great stats by shelling infantry and not really about winning. They like Aberdeen because it's a very balanced, arena like tank map without planes and swarms of kamikaze jeeps. That makes it unique. I can understand that jeep racing into the enemy main is fun for a lot of players, but for tankers, it is nothing but frustrating to get a nice round interrupted like that.

 

Of course I want to win, but I personally prefer to lose an interesting round after 60 minutes than beating the other team down in 20 minutes. I won enough rounds, so for me it's more about a good fun round and not that much about winning, and I guess I'm not the only one.

 

For most tankers, it's no fun to defend main (especially on low pop), it's no fun to play hide and seek with infantry in our main, it's no fun to spend time chasing jeeps. You can have all of that on every other map, no need to ruin the only "pure" tank map.

I'd agree if we are talking about an actual match, but we are talking about a public server it's a different story.  Most players aren't going to sit for 45 minutes waiting for a couple players to make it there for them to kill.  

 

I disagree Anger, Deen is not a pure tank map, it's great for infy too if you got 40 players, and both teams have near equal number of tanks.

 

It really is no fun defending a main.  I hate being on the defending team as it is.

[pinchythelobster]

Option 4 - remove jeeps from the cap mains. Leave rotation as is.

"I disagree Anger, Deen is not a pure tank map, it's great for infy too if you got 40 players, and both teams have near equal number of tanks."

 

Good to hear that there are also inf specialists who like this map. The "pure" was more used to explain what it means for tankers, not really as a "tank only" statement.

Heh, when does this poll close anyways ?

Hello there|

It as been a long time since my last post! But when it cames about aberdeen... well... im here!

Its funny to read "I disagree Anger, Deen is not a pure tank map...!" its like for me to say... "Berlin is not a pure inf map!... or stalingrad"

 

Aberdeen is a TANK MAP! since... EVER!

Thats why in the past were Aberdeen ONLY servers... like EAUK22, ARCOR Arena, EA10 and some tank maps only (Aberdeen, Bulge, Tobruk).

About mains, well... they should be uncap!

They were UNCAP at moon years ago if i recall and now they are not!

I say this because i was a regular player at this server but things started to change and the fun went way.

Mains should be UNCAP because of the respect for the ones that like tank maps, like i respect playes who remove tanks from berlin/stalingrad to have inf only!

Its just aberdeen, and players like me thats like/love to play as a tanker knows what im saying.

Despite of the problems that can appear about mais being uncap... those problems are the fun of Aberdeen... to turn around the game!

A player can end aberdeen in 3 minutes if mains can be taken.

For exemple... one flag left without main and its Spawn camp festival ( but also part of the fun)

Anyway, im in favor of mais being UNCAP!

But hey... im a tanker!

Sorru for my english... but you all get the message!

 

cheers

Shall we say the people have spoken and if so, will we now have uncap mains?

31 people have spoken, can they be called "the people"? . I can't speak for Lin but I thought this was a poll to gauge our preference, not a vote to decide how that map is played.  If this was a true vote, I want to cast two votes for capable and I think all my votes should count double.  I would also like to suggest removing tanks from Aberdeen.

Let's make it a turbojeep map, you spawn in the turbojeep and cannot get out.

Turbo Jeeps, jetpacks, and commando knives.

I still want to see a modded map (coral sea) where each side spawns on the same carrier, opposite sides of it. Knives only. TDM. Lasts for 5-10 mins only

I appear to have touched a nerve by asking a simple question of Moongamer's management. I'll ignore your response and wait for Lin's, which I'm sure will be more polite.

What country do you live in? Having one vote count as two? Are you a retired politician?

Removing tanks from a tank map like Aberdeen would be like taking all the bumps off the lego pieces. Not to say it would break Anger's heart.

Lets not be silly here.

The webmaster and all involved will tell forth what the final decision will be.

I think parts of Spare's comment were a joke, gentlemen ;-)
