Larger Maps and helicopter

[Talent]

Hey guys,

I was thinking, it would be nice if AoS had the option of larger maps (with 1.0) and that the helicopters could transport like three or four people (squad) around.

It would not effect the gameplay on smaller maps, but you could have some servers with objective-based gameplay on a larger map with lots of teamwork.

Discuss.

I like the idea. Jeeps won't work cause of the terrain but helicopters are great for transporting people. AOS already has really large maps but I wonder what it would be like if they were larger. Anyways I like the idea.

The maps we have now are quite large, but still only take a few minutes to cross on foot, and it looks like the helicopter would only take 30 seconds. I am talking about maps that take a couple minutes to cross with the helicopter. Too far to walk on foot, and it would be totally teamwork based, because if you are a lone wolf you spawn back at the base and need to wait to get picked up with a helicopter. Attack and defense style games, or any objective based games (defend the VIP) would be best. This would not effect the smaller map gameplay because the only changes are allowing larger maps.

I remember watching a video of a few guys playing Arma. The got out of a helicopter, ran for a minute, snuck over a hill and sniped the VIP that was in a desert camp. This is my vision of what playing in the larger maps could be like.

Ben said he was thinking about changing the max player count to 64 which means 32vs32 so yeah this should be a good idea, For later updates though.

Of course, he needs to fix some bugs right now :)

Well I would love to have 64 player support and that is coming as far as I know. Bigger maps would be great.

Example.

You are running whit your squad. and you build a strong defensive bunker and you are the chokepoint that needs to be taken out. But the enmey has a hard time doing that. In the mean time you are waiting for Re-supply for your Mounted machine gun(s) and Mortar.

I do hope we get planes instead of helicopters tho. Heli doesn't fit in this game.
