I've played the one-cap point Sunset City map a couple of times now, and it is never a really 'good' game there.

 

One side gets the centre flag at the start, then the ticket bleed sets in and the other team cannot get the ticket lead back due to swarming troops.

 

Have people had other experiences on this map? Could do with 2-3 city cap points IMO.

Yeah, I agree - much preferred the previous setup. The firefights are everywhere and no longer focused like they used to be.

 

Bring back the old setup I say!!!

yeah I agree....cap area is huge... rewards team with a commander though

Have to disagree with you there, I like the new map setup.

 

Ive only played it 3 times or so, but its been great.

With the huge cap area, you really have to be on your toes creeping through the city on the look out for defending/attacking troops everywhere.

 

Having a good commander definately helps hold the flag as well as making it much easier to recap the flag if/when you loose it.

Maybe that's it, on the occasions I've played

1) we didnt realise the cap radius was so big, we were heading to the middle and getting axed

2) didnt have an active commander.

Every map needs a commander.

 

This is basically the a 16 player style map on a big map area and with com assets.

 

It works in three waves.

 

1. Set up firebase, RP's on your side of the flag.

2. continue to push towards the enemies side of the flag cap, build Bunker, sandbags, razor wire.

3. Defend from there as they come towards the flag

 

This map is set up perfectly for this, just need to be organised to push up to the walls on the far side from your main and defend all the entrances. As Chinese, 4 stair wells, one road, East flank and West flank. With everyone defending this would not be thaat hard. You cannot defend from the city because the cap radius is so big that the enemy can get in there and creat an even battle.

I love the new map set-up its everything I think a city fight should be, it keeps the battle centralised on the city proper, however it leaves the surrounding area free for squads to flank and begin a new attack.

Don't mind the deployment area guff this is for another community night thread I just don't have time to draw up how big the capture radius is. Anyway the capture radius incorporates the entire grid D5 and even about 25m's of E5 its huge and I have played it with 32 players and it is wonderful.

 

I think the community just needs a little more time to get used to the idea of it and understand where you can and can't capture from.

I love city fights, best to be had and this one is certainly chaotic.

Is it just me, or can PLA get to the centre flag way quicker, and is the ticket bleed really fast? Makes it bloody tough for US if this is the case.

iirc, the ticket bleed is not intentional and will be removed.

Man is anything they do intentional ? :sweat:

I love IT!!!

 

in reality its only a small town so holding/defending parts of it, isnt really tactically sound or worth while strategically. if ya gonna take a city of this size (if u can call it a city) u'll wanna take and defend the Whole City not little bits at a time!!

 

 

i love it! makes for very Good tactical play!

I like the map if the ticket bleed can be adjusted it would make for some great fire fights

Even though I've only played on it a few times I think it's great.

The fighting is now spread out over the whole city making it a great urban combat map.

No longer is it "throw a frag and kill 5 people and the flag is yours" which I think is great.

 

They should do something similar with Ejod city by making East and West city flag radius's almost touching,

that way the fighting wouldn't be restricted to the same 5 buildings every time which would allow for more varied firefights.

Bigger capture radius's FTW baby.

Now that would make Ejod central a dangerous place to be sound's Very Interesting...

I think all the city maps should be like that! a control point is a the city!

 

Your not going to just take a single building / or complex of buildings.... your gonna want to take the whole city not piece by piece! The lead up to the flag capture is the ground work of going building by building once u have gained control of the whole city then its time to defend every part of it!

 

if there is two parts of city make the control zones touch. that way your defending the whole city part not a few buildings with a flag near by!

 

i love in agree with blacky

Good thoughts guys, would like this to be in the city maps for sure.

Pop the suggestion down on the PR forums?

Yeah, after reading all your comments, maybe I just have to play the map more in its new configuration.

just wait for the new city map in 0.8 to come out. they say that every building is enterable so you can practicly hide any where your heart desires.

 

hopefully it big too so then we can get some real urban combat going
