As it stands we are wasting 2-5 minutes just walking at the beginning of most of the matches on the newer maps. Polar highlands is the worst of the bunch (and continues this unfortunate trend). We just spent 5 minutes running around without firing a single shot and that's why I felt compelled to post this.
I have a theory.. PGI is trying to make our matches last longer by adding walk time. Maybe we were making cbills too fast on the smaller maps? Maybe having matches last longer helps the matchmaker somehow? Who the hell knows.. all I know is these maps are toooo large.. and wait time between matches are tooo long.
My friend Goodtry broke it down for us in his reddit post.. he states the lag period between matches is:
30 second queue time
15 second voting time
60 second lobby time
15 secnd drop time
5 second boot up time
2-5 minutes of walk time (on newer maps)
and then usually 5 to 8 minutes of fighting (if you're skilled enough in tier 1 or 2)
Can we get a definitive answer on this.. why are these maps so large?
