the map size don't matter to me, i just want to know where you staked out the trophy bucks.  LOL

Just another ^       

so, is  it decided what size maps are going to be used for the 05 tournies? 

I think that this vote is not real -  it can not be 1650 people, registered in the site, to decided the map size, if the last games we played only 6-10 people in dh2005.  I think that these 1650 people must play at least 1 hour a day and send their results in the end of the week, to have a rights to vote. I suggest the players  participated in the hunt the last 20-30 weeks to have a rights to vote. Let the vote is open in forum, and each of players  to explain why he decided for that.  About the new players and these, who scared to send the results - don`t be afraid, play and participate in this wonderful game. Good luck for all

I think you're right one shot. And i think all notice that 2 months ago we was more than 10 people hunting 05, now we are only 6-7. The map size doesn't count so much, only supe large maps with 300 or more gap are boring, i think that hunt are too complicated if we hunt in large maps.

Ok Timberwolf. But you say "this is just a game and it should to be fun". To be fun a game mustn't be boring and complicated. A funny game must be "easy" not in difficulty, it must be easy to bag trophies, like for real. And for people who works 10 hours a day, they can't play 4 hours a day. This is only what I think...   

There is a simple solution to just about everything if one takes the time to sit back, think and do the research of what it is.  I have just spent the last three weeks, of my spare time, testing many maps and figured out it is NOT the size of the map, it is the sight distance the maker uses in making them.  This following table should be of help for map makers to make what I call Quality Tournament maps.  Look it over (if you are a map maker) and let me know if you agree or disagree because we are not going to fight over what we use for maps here at the site for tournaments.  If you make a map with the max view of only 260 yards in most locations then gap it small, if you make one and can see over 500 yards then gap it large. If you want your maps used in the tournaments here, then go by the following table as that is what I will be using for the weekly tournaments, as long as I am dh2005 Administrator.  A small map can be just as hard of a challenge as a large map, it's all in the sight distance, as the stock maps have proven.
Size and sight distance for making quality tournament maps.

World Gap:          Max View:
Small 400 to 500 (1.0-1.47)
Medium 300 to 400 (1.56-2.02)
Large 200 to 300 (2.11-2.57)    
Extra Large 100 to 200 (2.66-3.00)
