I think the linearity and that it only has 2 caps will be it’s detrement. Will get “figured out” pretty quickly and thus boring. I also think it’s to easy to snipe as a defender at the opening gates.

1st try of my team and I just say lol
defending at the start and losing in 1:45 both points
and couldnt make this time ofc
attacking again and get 2:14
and they couldnt make it
so after abba we played less than 8 mins + 4 mins setup time
8 mins what a joke

we had absoloutely same situation

Played some more, and it either goes by REAL damn fast or it takes 10+ minutes per round.

I’m loving it though.

great map, has a granlands linear feel to it, but the technical/tactical play of a gravelpit or turbine. People have mentioned the map is too large, i think this isnt the case.

The CP style forces players to attack and defend in and around the key area points, which given the slightly larger feel does offer some great deviation from the normal “push left/right” style we see on our normal competitive scene.

A 2 wave defence, by this i mean either having a uber-on-uber battle in yard (before first capture point) or forcing the attacking team to uber to kill the SG is a must. If you opt for the uber-on-uber yard defence, its key that you:

1) keep the medic alive after uber is out
2) Place the SG away from the yard, so that its a 2nd line of defence
3) huddle around SG for support, blitz defence accordingly or fall back for a last defence

If you opt for the alternative method of using the SG to force uber again;

1) keep the medic alive (duuh)
2) use your uber to repush
3) kill! :D

Using either defence also relies heavily on getting out when you’re out of your depth. 6 man down attacking last pretty much grants the attacking team a sub-3min attacking round.

Its mostly common sense, but im pretty sure the use of a sniper/spy/engy/heavy play a more crucial role than you’ll see on other maps, which in my eyes is a big *thumbs up* from me.

First Capture point seems a tad slow at capping(often a team is waiting on last cp to attack whilst the first is still capping) but i guess thats to make it so the game isnt a 1 minute wondermap.

Food for thought :]

forward spawn

other than that…its a cool map!

You really can’t defend the yard atleast we could not do that properly. Heavy and engi at the stairs/platform in front of the first 1 cp seem to be most effective.
