Just curious, I managed to get the mode once on what what probably the worst map for it - Alpine. Seems like the location was chosen on a dartboard, the other side quite easily beat us to the zone because it was located on their half of moron mountain, rest pretty well played out like you'd imagine.

Anywho, just curious where the rest of the capture or zone of imminent death points might be on the rest of the maps before I consider voting for that mode again. Not particularly interested if all the points are offset for one side's favor.

I'm not sure if smurfy has them up, but it's literally "the middle of the map".

The problem being that the middle of the map isn't always the center-ground based on drop locations and pathing options.

That's why I was curious about it, Alpine for instance was pretty lopsided because of the mountain only one team needs to deal with and it made for a pretty terrible first go at the mode.

I'll poke around smurfy though, never noticed they had map info before.

This is just a side thought - but didn't Russ carry on about moving away from the Theta Point mentality not to long ago? Or is that just my sleepy brain cross-contaminating forum posts?

I haven't played every map for Domination... I think, but literally the middle of each map is the focal point of the "green circle".

Literally the middle of Grim Plexus

Seriously, it's the "middle" and to some extent some are imbalanced based on starting positions and the ETA to reach the green circle from the closest starting point.

Yeah, they were listed on smurfy, without the spawn points unfortunately but I don't get the impression that those are changed what so ever from the old ones.

It really is a shame though that they just used the center/theta point, it would have been an excellent opportunity to provide some gameplay that focused on different points on the maps. Ah well.
