As if it is any difference on which map to murderball.

Try being a murderball in a huge and highly claustrophobic urban map with lots of dead ends, ambush points, narrow avenues for escape, and destructible skyscrapers.

Then for icing, the enemy calls in Long Toms.

With 8v8... Can we get old Forest Colony back please?

That is not the map I speak of. River City a hillbilly town pretending to be a city.

Well, you can hope for a dream-city map (which by the way wont happen because MW5) on which murderball suddenly doesn't work.
But. There is not a single example of an existing map on which murderball/nascar doesn't work, and so I see no reason to expect it can be fixed by map design.

I do however have a reason to expect it can be fixed by 8v8, because murderballs were a less common thing back when we had 8v8.

I'm going to believe it only when I see it. Why? They bragged about having such maps ready to the gaming rags 5 years ago.

Yes. Yes they did.

They've also said a great many things over the years.

Seeing is (sometimes) believing.

[Khobai]

usually if PGI says theyre going to do something they do it

theyre pretty good about that

its just that they fall short of our expectations
