Look at the upside. You could have seen nothing but Caustic.

It's pretty awful anyway. Either you camp your base and defend or you get capped because there's no way to stop it if your team's lights die first.

I don't understand how it took them so long to release such a bland and boring map.

Conquest....and lights/fast cavalry mediums will have a role there.

I'd be willing to give the map more of a chance if i ever actually got on it, Unfortunately only getting the map once in almost 5 hours of constant play did kind of leave me a little bitter. Seems the only way to truly get on that map is if your born there *sigh*

Caustic isn't half as bad as River City (especially night). Then again,you probably use hot weapons.

I like Alpine I just wish I could play on it more. I saw it three times in 7.5 hours. :) But I did see River City 8 times in a row FUN :rolleyes:. You would think they would WANT it used more in the rotation. :( That way they could collect as much data as they can as quickly as they can .

Considering the lack of anything interesting on Alpine, i'm actually surprised why it took them so long to roll it out.

Pretend there are no bases. Might be fun that way.

Jenner unless it's RHOD where Ravens are mandatory, but nice try. Shouldn't you be giving a manicure to your dolls instead of trying to troll the forums this late?

Played Alpine 5 times now, one time it was a brawl the other 4 times it started at a distance slug fight and ended up as a brawl.

Now that's what I call an old school zinger!

But I disagree. I think it is a very nice welcome change of pace. The only negative is pugs trying to do any teamwork besides blobbing is impossible lets hope the kick the rotation up a bit so we can start acclimating to it.
