New Maps: What Does It Mean

(TheVulpesFox) #1

So as most of us should know, there are 2 maps in development that some people have managed to play on (I believe they are on specific European servers and in the game files). One objective (dockyard) and one execution (gallery). So does this selection of maps mean that we won’t be seeing a new game mode that soon?

Are the developers focusing more on the existing game modes. Or are they just keeping it secret from us? We do have a bit of time before the next big update, so we may not have to worry. However these maps still need to be textured and I’m sure that is well into its progress.

I guess it isn’t a great concern as currently Dirty Bomb is fun as it is. I haven’t lost interest and won’t be anytime soon. It would just be cool to see something different. A different game mode other than execution (in my view objective/stopwatch are the stock game modes) would be nice.

On a little side note, Dome looks so so pretty now! The routes have changed a little (and I like the new first objective), but someone said they had made it more “noob friendly”, which I guess it is.

i dont think the new gamemode is coming out in the next update. they may have some test weekends but it probs wont come out for a while, probably two updates from now.

i dont really think dome is more noob friendly. I think it is more friendly for everyone. how it used to be just kinda sucked no matter you skill level.

Yeah, although I felt as though I learned the map quite quickly (depends how much you play). The arrows are probably useful. Just that ladder at the left pylon (when attacking) IMO isn’t needed.
Overall it’s better anyway.
I can’t get over how much prettier it is now :o

Making other game modes is a waste of time. The game and its mercs were designed around multiple objectives in Obj/Sw modes. The community’s opinion about Exe is already divided. Some like it, some don’t. People hate how Exe maps are plain and they repeatedly claim that if they wanted to play CS mode they would play CS instead because how it’s better there. Splash Damage should just focus on making maps for 3 modes we already have.

Adding game more would just thin the already low player count. It would be a bad idea imo. I liked execution but looking back that also seems like a bad idea more maps would have sufficed, but I know some people like exe so…yeah I guess making more maps for that now is needed.

too true.

but it would be nice if they added some party gamemodes, just more casual. like CTF would be a good example, fun for groups of people to casually play competitively. not typically what you get in the normal OBJ playlist.

Something unique, or a unique twist on a classic game mode. Keeping of coarse the dirty bomb feel. I don’t know what it would be.

A new gamemode would be a complete waste of time, there’s already plenty to Dirty bomb when it comes to variety. The introduction of Execution was a really big deal for me(it feels like it’s FAR the most balanced gamemode instead of “one half playing suicidal lemmings other half killing kamikaze pilots” stopwatch and objective are) and I’d love to see them make more maps for it than the but 3 we have now - of which one is yet to be released.

New mercs are always welcome too.
