hey

pardon me if im wrong.. but i could have sworn there is some line on the download page that goes like this.......and fur subscribers...a new map every month.


now does this mean that.... its a new one every other month? or just the first month of every year? or maybe since there are 7 maps , that it doesnt apply since your coverd for 7 months.

im sorta in the dark on this one.

ps...im gone away for 14 days... so guys see ya when i get back

There is a new map every month for MAN. MAN has only been out of beta since April. They released Craetus last month, and the rumor mill is that the June map should be released sometime soon.

actually...making maps for current MA\MAN now is kinda...pointless...
we should wait till addon release
the maps in addon will be much more interesting with rivers,bridges,dambs etc...

Irrelevant. A new map every month is part of the subscription package.

I think Crateus was supposed to be the May map, they just released it early. If not, then I must paraphrase my favorite line from the Simpsons.

Where is the map? When are you going to get the map? Why aren't you getting the map now, and so on, so please, the map.

Sounds like MAN is going the way of MA - new product coming out so nothing new is happening with the old version. Let them pay once again!
Do I sense a trend here?

Hi all!
we are very sorry with delaying of new map. However we are working on it now and hope to release it in a week.

Let's not start bashing MA here. When you buy MA you buy it for what it says it was... and that's exactly what we got. I don't see that they've done anything wrong there. Myself, I'm perfectly happy with my purchase, though I would like a little more testing done on patches before their release.

I Agree with Quitch. I Love MA! In my opinion, I got what I paid for. I have a choice of many different players to challenge, 3 different single player AI levels, missions, campaigns, a free SP editor and thanks to other users, free SP custom campaigns, in addition to 13 units, several maps (including Emerald and Brimstone, which were free additions), and an updated MP interface that not only shows whom I would be wasting my time on challenging and whom is ready to accept a challenge! Now if only the users would update their profiles to match. From the box to the released patches, I've seen nothing but good things from the Devs. Just with the patches that have been released to date, my Boxed version is more valuable to me than the amount I originally paid... I cant say the same for the Mechwarrior series I used to play extensively, especially after Microsoft took over the rights... Paid 49.00 to 55.00 for each of those brand new and now I wouldn't pay 5.00 for any of them with the exception being MechWarrior 3 (it was the best release in my opinion). Nor would I say the same for the Warcraft, Warlords, Starcraft, or similar 2 sided war game series.

Granted, with all that being said, I'd be foolish not to want more... Its human nature, we are always looking for an upgrade to what we have, and preferably at no additional cost. But to always expect such a thing is ridiculous, afterall, the only promise on the box is that the game will offer continued support, not continued addons or freebies.

In short MA is still as advertised and well worth what I paid.
Just my 2 cents turned into a quarter :)
