So if Buzzsaw was to be modified - which would you like to see first?

The altitudes lowered,

or the base strat layout?

I think you can kill two birds with one stone here.  Remove the vehicle spawns to the strats which shouldn't take much manpower, and then focus your efforts on the altitudes.

The whole map is too high, flatten it all out. That would be a start.

I would say the strats first.. the puffy ack in the middle is more annoying than the hills.

If more bases were added around the edge and between the edge and middle,  you wouldnt have to dink with altitudes at all IMO.  Higher alt fights toward the middle with lower altitudes towards the outside.  Everyone wins.

Tough call. 

I'm going with altitudes because they're patently ridiculous.

Concur with Lazerr on one thing though.   The puffy ack in the middle is a PITA.  (Base layout idea not bad either.)

Why not fix both at the same time?

This map needs a total reworking. Even a temporary half-fix would still leave the map as unplayable.

The altitudes would probably be good to lower first.

That being said, the map still isn't going to work that great until the there are either

A. More bases on the outside of map to make the outside area bases seem closer to each other.

B. OR, outside bases should be pushed closer together.

C. Redo entire layout of bases from the start to make it more symmetrical.


Besides the strat issues. These changes would allow more fights to occur and play out much better. It would increase action around the map instead of all the focus in the middle.



I would say the strats first.. the puffy ack in the middle is more annoying than the hills.

If more bases were added around the edge and between the edge and middle,  you wouldnt have to dink with altitudes at all IMO.  Higher alt fights toward the middle with lower altitudes towards the outside.  Everyone wins.

Actually, lazer has a good point also. I like this idea.

Lower the altitudes and cliffs!  Think "Does this exist in nature, and how does it fit into the environment."
