It might be a little to early to post this since it just came out but I wanna know what you all think of the new map. So like it hate just a little disappointed? I must admit it's a pretty big map at least at first but after you get to looking around it's really not as big as it looks

It is a fun map but I just can't get rid of that feeling of disappointment. I guess I set my hope to high about the map with all the hype and all. believe me I love it a great map and a very good and fresh change of pace. But I felt just a little disappointed as it just didn't live up to the expectations IMO. So how do you feel?

I like it - wasn't disappointed because I had no expectations. Thats the best way to avoid disappointment.

I think it was too big.

I think it *FEELS* big because of the s-shaped path through the map - but if you cut wide around the buildings, you can be from the 3rd point to the last point in no time flat.

Seems good enough. Only played it once so I still don't completely know my way around, but I liked what I saw.

Not really disappointed, but it didn't meet expectations. The way they talked about it I thought it was completely vertical.

I sorta thought the same thing, then I tried to imagine playing a "completely vertical" map as a scout, medic, heavy, sniper and decided that it would have to have a fair amount of horizontal spaces...

what they came up with is pretty much what I expected, geography wise.

What I do like about the map is it's openness - you can't just barricade yourself in a corner or behind some doorway. You can get to the points from many different directions.

Engineers are going to have a hard time on this map protecting their turrets.

played it once. i see potential for the engi's though. 2 engi's could dominate ifthey can defend well enough. played it once and got booted real quick, reservists...
