I love this map, especially the top of the Command Centre.

Ah, I didn't know you spawned in clear, clear view. I hope there's enough ability to at least knock off a chunk of the defenders with an Orbital strike so you can get outta spawn..

It's not that all the spawns are coverable, but much like when people are camping one side of harbor's indoor spawnpoints its a major pain in the *** to roll the dice and try to spawn, or taking the time to walk up from another flag.

Re: Operation Shingle...

True dat, there are many places places where people spawn in the open between two flags, how any mapper can think that's a good idea is beyond me. People ought to spawn somewhere sheltered, behind a wall or in an alley branch.

Re: Operation Shingle...

Actually the map is unbalanced for the EU, the PAC has more tickets. It should be the opposite, the attacking team always have more tickets to compensate for the ticket bleed and the losses when capping the first flag.
Except that point the map is fun, though sometime it's a real slaughter, there's always one or two flags where the enemy keep spawning, involving a lot of spawnkilling and major pain to cap the flag, multibloc for example (don't know if it's the same name in english).

Re: Operation Shingle...

Yeah, some are ranked, some unranked.

The one we played on earlier is ranked.

Re: Operation Shingle...

.... lags. I can play all maps fluently but this map lags when I look at certain areas with many objects(low FPS) Even on an empty local server. I think I will have to decrease my video settins, unfortunately

Re: Operation Shingle...

This is a very fun map to play. its going to take some time to find your away around this map.

Re: Operation Shingle...

The only times I heard balance complaints about the map, the scores were tipped heavily in favor of whoever was winning in terms of teamwork points and KDR! So like. The map seems balanced to me.

It's got a key difference layout wise compared to Gibraltar and that's the number of routes available to the player. Gibraltar is straightforward, 2Fort-esque and no surprises can occur. It's a very controlled scenario... Compared to Anzio (Shingle), which has numerous ways for infantry to creep forward and once they infest the complex map's main body, the number of places opening up to the attacker increase seemingly exponentially!


I like it a lot better than Wake, though the way Sir tweaked Wake to make it unique is certainly VERY COOL. Like. The EU AA Battery. It's like a true fortress! The balance in that of course being that you can snipe out the gunners of the Docked Titan with all sort of weaponry. I saw people landing Gunships in the Titan Hangar to shoot out the people on the guns. And sniper fire made it inside, too. From tanks even. All the way from the NWmost Flag.

There are a number of other maps that could be brought from 1942 that were much more fun to play though. I saw Bocage mentioned. Operation MARKET GARDEN was by far one of the cooler maps..

Anyway! I like Shingle a whole lot more than any other map for its ultra-density! It will probably be the only map that truly simulates Urban Combat by adding more access to the Z-Axis. Lots of fun. Lots of frustration, too.

Re: Operation Shingle...

It might be big, but there's always something going on!
I played like 8 v 8 this morning and still there were alot of firefights.

Re: Operation Shingle...

Shingle is a big map. Seems same sort of scale as Camp G maybe a touch bigger, but it's all on different levels. Towers, hills and mountains. A lot more buildings and structures. It is sniper heaven.
