Considering the distance of the map for the ground pounder and the plentiful number of FAVs one must resign oneself to using them to get around; but doesn't that add an extra dimension to the map that others on the rotation do not have? The big suez map hasn't been used much recently, nor has the big minsk map, so it seems that the rotation is increasingly focused on close-quarters infantry combat maps (I have yet to see Tunis, Cerbere, or Camp G get the axe off of the rotation at any time). Granted, these maps are fun to play, but does it strike anyone else as becoming too much of a homogenous rotation, especially when folks complain about playing Sidi Powerplant, which is one of the few big maps that is consistently played now? (Personally I'm apathetic towards sidi, because it is too much of an armor camping map because the vehicles are essentially trapped in a giant rat's maze with no room to manuver; leaving them particularly vulnerable to infantry assaults).

I'm going to assume that "big" means 64 player. Please do correct me if I'm wrong in this.

TG does not have enough people to fill a 64 player map and thus runs the 48 or 16p version. I've seen you around the server, and as I'm sure you have noticed, TG tends to be an infantry geared community at its core. Tunis, Cerebere, and Camp G are ground infantry maps and highlights the great infantry combat of 2142. There have been polls and threads in the past showing this trend between infantry heavy and armor heavy. TG tries to strike a balance between the two camps.

Other then the crashes (because the server crashes enough) Tamp is simply not a very interesting map. In my eyes, Tampa is a map in which all flags were created equal. Great. Well, not really. The wide open space makes area denial and choke points (while annoying they are pretty essential) non existent. The map is all about flags, and less about taking flags because the offer a strategic position such as elevation or spawn points. I'd rather play armor Minsk and look down upon my foes from a hill.

My 2 cents.
