Whats your opinion on the new maps?

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

In increasing order of uber to the max 3000 likeosity....

Killhouse- Ok if there is 10 or less players, otherwise its a death fest, even if you are camping it up to the max. Kinda feels like a mix between shipment and wetwork

Chinatown- Maybe i'm just not used to it yet but it seems team tactics are hard on this map, too many possible routes. Still, looks very nice and is camper unfriendly (too many routes to cover). Pet peeve of mine at the moment is everyone going 'ooh carentan' over and over. I get it.

Creek- After playing this on PS3 briefly, this was one I was looking forward to so I could snipe it up. Played a good few games on it and have yet to find my groove. A bit unbalanced, but I found people aren't covering the tunnel as much as they should, I was able to run straight through, up the ladder and cleaned out the top base a couple of times. Once people start to cover this as they get used to the level, I think it will become even more unbalanced. Not really suited to SMGs or MGs, more ARs and sniping

Broadcast- Something for everyone. Shotties, SMGs, MGs, ARs and Snipers all have their place. Lots of routes, tactics can work, can be played by a few players or feckin loads and still have a flow.

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

I have yet to play China Town, but the others are really good, and gives a bit of life to the game, as other maps start to get stale.

Its good to see IW continue some support this long after release :thumbsup:

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

Creek, while nice, is so lacking in detail imo. When I first played it, I was like wtf, am I playing CoD2.

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

I gotta agree with afew people in here, best maps for all round gameplay are Chinatown and broadcast. The other two aren't really suitable, I mean killhouse annoys me and Creek is great but its way too open.

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

i like broadcast, and creeks good too, killhouse gets bad with 10+ players

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

Play S&D on Chinatown.

TDM on Broadcast.

Nade/Nade launcher fest on Killhouse.

Nothing on Creek. It sucks i hate the map so much.

I like broadcast the best deff, so many tactics and so much fun.

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

S&D china town is so much more of an improvement without nades all over the place.

creek is pretty much a 'you go spetznas or get raped' map

who beta tests these maps?

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

They're all fantastic and why professionally created maps are always preferable to well intentioned amateur made maps.

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

Creek - Had a few good rounds on it, but it is very camper friendly, get a nice spot and pull out an AK (well thats what I did) and go on a 20 kill streak. Just a quick note, whoever starts with all the building on there end (the ones with access to roofs) always wins, unless they are scrubs and mauled through tunnels...

Broadcast - At first I didn't like it, but after a few games of SnD on it I quite like it, great level design.

Chinatown aka CARENTAN! - It's carentan, insta great map.

Killhouse, with about 6 -10 people it isn't bad, but anything more than that and it is just silly, a bit like showdown, nice with few people, bad with lots.

So all in all IMO:

1.Carentan
2.Broadcast
3.Killhouse
4.Creek

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

I got to say it, china town is over hyped, if they didnt base it off a previous map and was fesh im sure it wouldnt be so highly regarded but thats just me, I cant seem to get the map right set up wise personally;

either i have too stealth loadouts so i get owned by spammers

or i had spammy loadouts and get nailed by stealthers =(

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

I cant stand china town biggest POS ever, nade bam nade bam, shot through walls, sorry cant stand it, there is no room for tactics either since everything is all like allyway size.

creek = unbalanced

the team which starts in the village type complex just rapes the crap out of the other team since they dont have friggin trees and bushes blocking their view while the other team has a bloody jungle to try and see through.

Just look at the scores if you dont beleive me, played that map 4 times yesterday, every time- which ever team started in the village won by miles. Im talking about 1000+ scores since airstrikes and choppers rape the map like crazy since you cant hide anywhere.


Broadcast = best map by far

killhouse = improved shipment

Stop playing on 50 man servers.

I'm really trying to refrain from insulting you, but you're an idiot. You're basing your opinions on something that you are choosing to do (playing on large servers), you're not even trying the other side of it (playing on smaller servers). The game isn't meant to house more than 32 players on a map. Even then, that's a little much.

Why don't you do us all a favor and get out of your BF2142, 64 players, and huge maps mindset and play the game how it was intended to be played.

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

I'm having a hard time deciding on my tier list, but they go something like this.

Carentan
Creek
Broadcast
Killhouse

OR:

Carentan
Creek
Killhouse
Broadcast

Sometimes Broadcast makes me rage hard at how non-linear it is, with people spawning behind all the time.

Re: Whats your opinion on the new maps?

Anyone thats played Ghost recon, or America's army, I think will find creek alot less fustrating. wooded maps, unless really really dense with vegitation, like rainforest dense, are always going to be harder then urban maps. With less cover/hiding spots you simply need to be more cautious about every move. Also if your working with people on VOIP it can also alleviate being cut down so easily.

Also unlike those games, COD has one major advantage when assaulting especially. On a map like this, a couple well placed smokes can make a big difference, with all those snipers in the hills, itching to shoot, if you smoke, then have a couple rushers (preferable with SMGs and extreme conditioning) go in, while there is a good chance they might get shot, if they are nimble enough they might not, but more importantly it will force the snipers to reveal their spots, and if you have snipers/ARs of your own waiting to counter, as soon as they start shooting at your rushers, you can turn their defensive posture against them.

All in all I'm quiet happy with the maps, though I haven't played kill house, and by the looks of it, dosen't seem my style. however broadcast and creek are both good signs, for months mod maps have been alot more fun then offical maps, that IMO are mostly way too small. With larger maps choke points aren't just places of instant death, since defenders have to time their shots, nades and m203s.
