This was my favorite map for that reason. I remember countless awesome fights on this map.

My guess is it doesn't fit the whack a mole type gameplay the current player base seeks.

Pretty sure you have exceeded your request quota for the year.

Post by: Animl-AW on October 05, 2025, 10:32:36 PM: Personally I like that it had a lot of close battles and action of a smaller landmass,.... but IMO it was the wrong kind.
IMO, the landmass shape makes it challenging to be a true "fair". IIR, it's a very old map and not truly designed for the MA.

People figure out how to play it decently, but as much as I liked it it's probably better off gone,.... as long as we have replacements coming in.
As far as I know there is.

Agree with this. I think a few mods to the GV spawns would of made that map fun. One challenge often came to some spawns being directly across the field. Unless you were in a super hoard, it was almost impossible to take.
