No, not at all. It just reminded me of Construct. I liked Construct, except that the map turned into camping lifts most of the time, which was beatable if you were any good, but still.

Yeah. I was good at it, but my friends never were. We'd be at the bottom, and there'd be three red dots at the top of one of the lifts. And they're like "LOL I GOTZ TEH FLAMETHROWER I'M GONNA GO UP THERE AND KILL THEM ALL"

And then they get raped by some guy up there with a sword. Way to help the team -_-

Right, that's pretty much how it was for us too. The best thing we found to do was to not use the lifts once they were taken, and instead use the ramps. You were at a definite disadvantage, and likely were down some points by the time you took top control, but you could definitely regain the lead afterwards.

Yeah. And if both teams just stuck upstairs the whole time and didn't use the lifts, it was actually a pretty nice map. I think that if the whole top part was its own map it would be awesome.

Yeah, that's kind of what that new map looks like to me.

This looks like it may be a decent map, but also looks like it may be enormous, given the "mancannon" that is in it. It has the same two rounded corners of the top of Construct, and a similar back area, which then has the man cannon, then a center platform...

In other news, I absolutely destroyed last night. I was so happy after so many days of crappy play to have a good day. My friend and I played some doubles arena where I performed well (13-9, 13-11, 17-9 in my three games).

Then his brother and friend got on so we switched to TS. I had two or three 20+ kill games, and missed double digits only once. I went negative only twice all night. I'm so happy with my performance.

*high five* :D

And it looks like it takes up the area of Forge World that Asylum does. It seems like it will be about the same size as Asylum. Idk, I still have to play it.

Edit: Will you be on tonight? I will be because I really need to be >.>

So I played on atom earlier in Team Snipers. The map sucks.

It's a ton better than most of the shit bungie made for reach, but the sightlanes suck. There are way too many places to go and not enough cover from anywhere. At the same time, there are too many stupid obstacles that prevent team shots or any way to actually finish a dmr/pistol fight you have an advantage with as long as your opponent is smart.

I can go into more detail if you guys want, but atom is not a very good map.

Um, not really. It has the same feeling has Epitaph but plays completely different if that makes sense.

I only played snipes on it, so it may be better with DMR start, but it's basically pure luck trying to get out of your base. If they see you and communicate you're fucked. If you manage to sneak out down bottom when they aren't looking you are going to get to their base. It's just impossible to safely cross the map while retaining any sense of map control.

I played it last night. It was only one game, so I don't have that good of an opinion, but it was DMR start. I kinda agree with you though. I just need to play it more.

What are your guys' feelings on Cliffhanger? I played a couple games there last night, and was not impressed. There's almost TOO much rock cover on the sides. It seems like another map that you'd play for control of the center tower.

I can't figure out what's going on with my game, either. One night I'm white hot, five-shotting people like crazy, and getting tons of snipes... the next night I can't five shot anyone to save my life, I can barely hit them at all. I don't get it, and it's absolutely maddening. I was absolutely furious by the the end of the night, because of the way I was playing.

I liked Cliffhanger. Both teams spawn near a Grenade Launcher, so I thought it was fun to camp the center building with one. And yeah, the rocks are a huge issue. And the fact that the creator put fusion coils behind some of them is an issue.

And I was having kind of a hard time hitting you guys last night too. And your friend was noob comboing and double meleeing us last night. : |
