Map Concerns

[BO7H B4RRELS 2,453]

So I was reading that they're trying to get away from the classic symmetrical map layouts.  It some ways it's good.  They will be able to get a little more creative with the maps, but I'm a little concerned that it will create unbalanced maps, especially in game modes like DOM.  

 

What have you all heard on this topic, what do you think?  

[TigerBurge 2,375]

Not much really. I've only seen a few of the maps and they took OK to me. B flag on Dom looks tough to get on some maps. The maps are always unbalanced to me no matter what CoD it is.

I always thought they balanced maps for TDM, so for any other game mode their fucked

I think the maps look interesting. Hopefully there some decent lines of sight for my assault rifle using, not running around much game style.

I've heard a couple of youtubers bitching about awareness already. Saying its to overpowered.

WTF does this have to do with this thread?  Awareness is the sound whoring perk, right?

Is that true?  The maps are designed with TDM in mind?  I didn't know that.

Not a damn thing besides you mentioned unbalanced

I was just guessing It doesn't seem like they balance maps for any specific objective mode (one side always has an advantage) and TDM is their most popular game mode.

Seen a couple of YouTubers saying the maps are all huge apart from one.

YES! Can't wait to abuse it.

 

As for the maps, the last time they tried to "switch it up" , we got the shitty ass, shit in the way  of everything, mw3 maps. No thanks on that style.

Asymetrical doesn't necessarily mean unbalanced. I hope they shook things up, maps tend to be boring if they don't.

[spectre 633]

I just hope there are always at least 2-3 ways into upper floor buildings and that there aren't as many choke points as there were in BO2.  It's damn near impossible to get past the middle of the map on that one with the Fountain.  You don't make a doorway the only way to get into the next area and then not provide one bit of cover ON that doorway.  Stupid.

Not really heard anything, the only people with info have he game already are your typical pub stomping killwhores who don't care about the win...

[Dr Diamond 407]

if your worried about maps being balanced then be done with it and have a spawn at each end of a circular room

 

[Madjonny 386]

Well that's just stupid...

[spectre 633]

Good Idea - Thunderdome!  and then make the floor slippery like ice.  all while the whole room is spinning like those rides at the county Fair.
