Container City is horribly unbalanced

Soldiers need to L2Flashbang. It’s about as underused as smoke grenades were in Wolf:ET on the pub servers. I’d still like to see operatives get a smoke nade at some time in the future though.

Check out the stats site for the details on Container City. Sure, the defenders should have an easier time but being able to complete the second objective is a bit extreme. The spawn trapping that occurs is a product of map design, not difficulty. Sec. Tower suffers a similar initial spawn but the differene is that once the first objective is completed the second spawn for the offense is moved forward and the defenders are moved back. Container City restricts the offensive team to the same poorly designed spawn for the first three objectives. This is what needs to be fixed.

EDIT: If both teams were equally matched then Container City’s initial spawn would be less of an issue. Sadly, the match making in Brink does not match players based on skill (rank =/= skill) nor does it allow entire teams to join games on the same team and go up against other teams of the same skill level. As a result the map needs to allow the offensive team a better method to exit their spawn.

I expect them to address this but i very much doubt that they are going to make any actual changes to the map.
That is very unlikely.

Its an issue because skill differential isn’t the reason behind the spawn camping :wink:
The act of spawn camping isnt wrong, when its a by-product of a skilled team beating another team. This however is all about map and weapon balance, and the delusion that class actions will win the day.

if Dice (BF) can alter maps via a patch i see no reason for SD not to. unless we are being limited via consoles again?

To be fair I experienced myself or my team respaw camp in every map, but those maps where the other team respaw is in a lower level its much more easy to respaw camp. Container city / Resort and Security tower are the ones that it happens + often.
