Fix your reward system, and fix the cap points.

It actually does remind me of Old school MW4 maps with the small rolling hills...Those where fun times...

lol u suck hard then brah. The map has tons of dips that mechs can use to stay out of enemy fire, sniping/lurming works well, brawlers can close using the trenches, there is no attention point like in Alpine that everyone flocks to, teams can effectively use the entire map, and you can see very well over the whole map as well. Learn how to play the map instead of rushing headlong into enemy fire screaming like an idiot that you are getting rekd.

[Davegt27]

Yep

I said circle right shoot left

Then I found a trench for cover, we ended up losing on cap points but the map seemed ok to me

Just don’t run for the center on any new map

[sycocys]

I only needed to see the cap point locations to be able to tell you that my opinion is going to be the exact opposite.

Now teams need to actually make a choice to split for caps or almost certainly lose the match, and none of that B.S. with everyone mobbing the center cap point anymore.

[Narcissistic Martyr]

It's rough for slow mechs without ECM or AMS and radar derp is 100% required but I think I'm going to end up liking it quite a bit.

[Dimento Graven]

Seems like a great map, and hopefully soon, if my damn video editor will cooperate, I'll have my own vid to post just how interesting it can be.

So...

NEENER NEENER!

Once YouTube gets done nerfing my vid:

It requires teams to <gasp> not actually deathball Theta.

It's actually not team deathmatch where only 1-2 mechs need to worry about capping.

However... it may take a few months for pugs to realize that.

Yes, you've been very very vocal about it in your games.

[sycocys]

"We want the game modes like conquest to not devolve instantly into skirmish at theta."

PGI - "Good Idea, we'll do that on the next map."

"Why are the cap points so spread out, and why are there none in the center where we can deathball into each other?! This f'n sucks!!! You can't possibly expect us to work as a team of lances here can you?"

Watch the video.

I played the map properly. I took command and moved my team to get the objectives.

An ENTIRE LANCE was punished for this because they couldn't get any damage because they followed my orders. My team played the map CORRECTLY and they werent rewarded for it.

The game rewards are not setup to support conquest. The conquest point locations need to be designed to take that into account.

[sycocys]

We'll they can't really double up the rewards until people actually start playing conquest like a different mode than skirmish.

If anything its every one of the other maps that have poorly chosen cap points, not this one - this one forces you to play the mode.

No. The rewards need to be redesigned to encourage playing the OBJECTIVE. Not ruin the perfectly fine layouts because the rewards system is aids.

You gave bad orders.

I played a skirmish match on the new map and the map itself seemed really good. Lots of places to hide in the rolling terrain but also decent sightlines.
