Buzzsaw is still terrible
« on: August 15, 2017, 01:44:50 PM »
I appreciate the effort that was put in to trying to fix this map, but it's still awful.  It just encourages everyone to pork strats and avoid fighting.  Please remove from rotation forever.  Thank you.

It just need a bit more love and care. Maybe more bases closer together and less height (still is quite high). They can always update it, no need to remove it outright.

Maybe some more spawns can be removed.  The map starts with SIX spawns into each city.

Imo it's better than ever, definitely keep it.

It reminds me of N and S Korea, the primary city and manufacturing  is very close to nme border.

This map creates a different type of game play, not the same- ole-same-ole.

Different does not mean better.

This map is still bad for fighter combat.

Yup.  If you're used to driving a Mustang and someone takes it away and gives you a 73 Pinto to drive for a few days out of every week, at least it's different, right?  In my opinion it's an object lesson in "different is not necessarily better".

I'll reiterate, since I've been here I've never hated a map in this game until Buzzsaw.

Not sure why you'd want them closer together.  Perhaps some but closer bases simply reinforces the fight low mindset and encourages more overuse of the most overused planes.

Its also extremely ugly to look at and hard to figure out whats going on on the map.

What would be nice is a map that has thinner fronts that each side has to fight down, small fronts, lots of cons, when you overreach you'll automatically cut off the other two sides from each other and have to fight both.

I thought the changes were nice.  The base layout is a little weak still but maybe they can shuffle things around a bit.

At first I hated the appearance but I have had more fun with the A-20 and some single ship bombers (Tu-2 etc) vs GVs and aircraft on this map than any other. Good kind of different for me.

I just think of it as a map where you have to change your strategy to understanding that everything that is destroyed will be down for hours.
