I love that they placed the radar on the citadel in River City.
PGI: "We overhauled River City so that not all fighting would happen around the Citadel."
Domination comes in, PGI: "We placed the Radar tower on the Citadel, so all fighting would happen around the Citadel"
Good job!

Even worse, they put the tower on the promontory end of the Citadel. The team that spawns on the East side is practically granted control, while the team that spawns on the West side has to cross open water to even contest the circle, and then has nowhere to go.

Terrible, horrible, crap placement. And it's perfectly obvious at first glance just how terrible it is.

This. People who think those that go into the middle as fast as possible are bad are bad players themselves.

Terra Therma is a test of tactics. And the winning tactic isn't cowering outside.

There are really only 2 viable tactics on Terra Therma:

1. Get to the center first, take it, and hold it.
2. STAY THE F*** AWAY FROM THE CENTER, and never go near it. Force the enemy to leave the center to come out and fight you on your terms.

Anything in between those results in a loss.

Neat idea. With random point locations this could actually make the mode more interesting

Itd be even more interesting if it wasnt just another version of skirmish.

For me domination is just lazy thinking on the part of PGI yet again.

People on many maps already gravitate to the center of it.

Now with domination you are forced to do it.

They have the last 4 maps that are gigantic and can't come up with a more challenging game mode than sending everyone charging for the center?

Doing that negates all the hard work they put into the maps in the first place

Hell I even have ideas for other game modes that would use a lot more terrain.

You probably do too.
