New maps?

(Aazhyd) #1

I just joined the game, but I wondered why they are only 5 maps and 2 game modes?

Are there any plans to add more to the game in the near future?

Also: how can I change my user name on the forums? Can’t find an option for that.

there are 5 fully textured maps for OBJ/SW mode
and there are 2 untextured maps (Dome and Battersea) for OBJ/SW mode

and at least 1 untextured map for Execution Mode (Overground).

Are these maps already playable or just planned?

They have all been played at some point during the Beta.

at least 2 of those two are my favorite maps in the whole game so far. (though still some works required in layouts. imho)

They really, really need to start releasing the designer tools for mapping on top of still making quality official maps. Games flourish on custom content, and the sooner they get them out the faster people will bring in new maps to test.

The Dome map as well as Execution mode are hinted at in the Play screen in-game, but they both don’t work yet. I hope they’re in the next release.

Playing the same maps over and over gets a bit tedious.

Yeah I really hope Dome comes back soon. That map is awesome.

But look at Counter-Strike players. They have no problem with playing one map over and over and over again even when source and global offensive released. They all still play the same map xD

games more-reliant on movement, like DB require more map variety. CS is about positioning, rather than movement. In simple terms, movement-heavy games ‘play out’ the maps faster.

There are also a bunch of maps mentioned in one of the old patch notes:

(Go to the bottom of the page).

Maps

OBJ_CANARYWHARF (Underground)

OBJ_WHITECHAPEL (Already in rotation as Chapel)

OBJ_VICTORIA

OBJ_TRAINYARD (Already in rotation)

OBJ_BRIDGE (Already in rotation)

OBJ_MAP_6 (GREENWICH)

OBJ_BATTERSEAPLANT

(Glot) #12

OBJ_VICTORIA is now Terminal.
OBJ_MAP_6 is now Dome.

The map output does seem incredibly slow, last year i was constantly playing on Trainyard, Underground and Bridge. Pretty much the same thing a year later.

Is Greenwich the warehouse map that was never colored so everything was just white? I miss that map.

Seaplant sounds interesting.

Yes, Greenwich is now known as Dome.

I don’t know how they can do it. I mean the same 5 or so maps over and over every night for literally years. I would go insane doing that.

Playing that few a selection of maps for that long is gaming hell to me. Let alone the graphics are getting dated now (CS:GO that is).

While new maps are always nice to have.
I’d rather play on 5 well balanced maps than on 10 that always results in the same spawncamping no matter how even or imbalanced the skill lvl are.

And balancing takes time.
