    That's what I'm trying too, but it's hard to get it set up at the beginning while you're defending 4 entry points with such little cash.

    1000th post, w00t! :D

    I think I am going to get at least one map but I haven't seen any real reviews yet that describe them. I wasn't too happy with any of the old ones except grassland so I want to know what I am paying $.99 for. Thats not cheap for one map. Anyone have any reviews for me?

    I recommend you get Skyway. The map layout is cool because it's not symmetrical and there are holes in the map which require a completely different strategy than the 3 main maps. It's really unique and IMO it's better than Frostbite.

    they're both really good maps. well thought out and difficult.

    I think I like frostbite the most right now because it's so tense. there are 4 entrypoints and the center is the exit. really tough to strategize. I had to take a step back and use excel to map out my ideas.

    skyway is awesome and you can really build some neat stuff there. the laser tower reminds me of the beam tower from geodefense but only fires in 90 degrees.

    if you need to wait for more reviews that's cool but if you're a FR fan you should just take the plunge. they're good maps. :)

    I think I like Skyway better, since it's so big and I like the laser tower better than the ice tower. Also easier for me :rolleyes:

    My revised Frostbite idea...
    not terrible so far.

    I got so far as lvl 85 before this revision. I will try again and see how it does.

    Why so curious?
    The latest version, v1.3.1 is out. I'd say that was FAST!

    Features:

    Facebook and Twitter Support
    Compete Against Friends
    Awesome new challenges
    Achievement system
    Two new purchasable maps with new towers and fieldrunners
    Online high scores
    Openfeint Social network
    Resolved 3.0 bugs

    It'll be interesting to see if this will pacify some of the users who were angry about the "disappearance" of the first map. :D

    Yeah that's the 1.3.0 "What's new" list

    They just didn't change it. The 1.3.1 is for the Grasslands bug where it wasn't showing up for a lot of people.

    Does anyone have both maps? I'm thinking of getting them, but want to get only one, first. I'm leaning towards Skyway because it only has one entrance, which makes it easier, and the holes in the ground. What's the building in the middle of Frostbite? Is it the end for all of the enemies, or do they just pass through? Plus, do you think it's worth it to get both? How would you rate the difficulty of each on a scale of 1 to 10?

    Thanks in advance. :)

    Im pretty sure the building in Frostbite is the end, so you gotta protect it on all sides. I don't own it so I don't know 100%. I'm interested in your other questions however, mostly are either of them worth the dollar they are trying to rape us for?

    as Spocket said the building in the middle of the Frostbite map is the exit for the Fieldrunners. There are 4 exits, but you can block 3 of them and funnel them all towards one.
    I'd choose Skyway just because it's easier for me and also the map is large

    Wow, some people are so cheap. Re-read that and try to not think how cheap you sounds. They are trying to rape you by charging $1? Oh no, that must make a huge dent in your savings, how ever will you survive by paying $1 for a well designed map so the developers can live.

    Thank you for the info.

    Also, does anyone know if they fixed the thing people were complaining about? Grasslands not be available after purchasing the new maps or something?

    and yes both maps are totally worth it.
    I feel like I'm playing Fieldrunners2 now.

    I think that's the 1.3.1 update fix.
