Yeah, I didn't mean IMO its another SP because of its size, its definitely smaller....meant more in the land scape and awful foliage and color palate etc. I see the odd Olympus buildings and KC buildings place inside a smaller SP map.
I know you like SP Recon, but you half to agree that a higher count of players seemed to dislike SP compared to other maps. Which is why I was surprised that this new map was very similar to SP.
Also, Ive noticed in the past new maps seem to be built to make which ever new legend they release at the same time to be viable based on their kit abilities. So I was surprised that the map Bowel Movement...urr, Bad Map - urr sorry Broken Moon is geared more for again Valk and I would even go out on a limb and say it seems like this map was made for Vantage....certainty don't see how Catalyst's kit is a huge benefit on this particular map. IMO I see her kit to be something to dominate in CQC. Which is why I was excited when I saw what her abilities were - I just assumed the new map would be built around buildings closer together and more indoor battles.
But the POI's are again so spread out - and like you said terrible choke points or lack of. I think the zips were a terrible idea and just changes the entire game play. But with the giant open fields of death moving from POI to POI to find the worst loot IMO, in any map ever launched.... guess the zips are a must. I am surprised there isn't more Vantages popping ppl with ease with her free line of sight hack and broken hit reg - Very surprised.
I truly dislike this map, even more than SP. I found myself squinting and struggling to see ppl even feet in front of me. Starting getting headaches and watery eyes, just a * show. So it prompted me to go get my eyes checked - Im getting older and chalked it up as a possible age thing. Yes Bowel movement actually prompted me to go get an eye exam. Result was 20/20 vision. So why is this happening. Once Olympus and WE came back, I noticed no issues. So there is something off with the saturation in Bad Map, or the color palate in specific areas.... I dunno. But visually I am defeated. My son said the same thing. Said his eyes hurt on the map and can't see much of anything. I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same?
Also - sorry ranting here. I noticed the hit indicators are completely wacked. Sometimes north/south/east and west are all getting indicators but only one person is shooting me from one direction.
my squad of 3 with randos, we eliminated 2 on a team with the 3rd kicking around somewhere. My two teammates are looting the death boxes of the two eliminated players and all of a sudden I get hit indicators coming from straight ahead (north) while I'm looking at my teammates looting. Trying to look past them to see where is this guy thats hitting me. My teammates don't seem to be bothered - couldn't see anyone. I get downed and spin around 180 to see a bang 2 and a half feet behind me not sound and although the indicator showed I was being hit from north. She downed me from south. Just whack.
And yet again, just when I was positively sure that Respawn could never f*ck up sound more than they already have - these guys actually prove me wrong. Congrats Respawn, still shocking players, good on ya.
Absolute worse sound to date IMO from any other previous season.
Very disappointed in this new map - absolutely shocked that it is as liked as it seems. Shocked to all hell. But to each his own I guess. So much like SP, when Bad Map/Bowel Movement is in rotation, I just turn off the game and come back and play the other two maps and repeat.
On a final note, I find it absolutely disgusting that the heirloom issue is a - "fix sooner than later" yet all other issues reported for over 3 years still exist.
"What, the cosmetic store isn't working properly!? Everyone stop what you are doing! All hands on deck, everyone roll up your sleeves and lets fix this thing ASAP!"
"What, the sound engine is broken? Awh well, everyone back to work on skins. Yes even you map guy, gun guy, legend guy, and balance guy, I said everyone...back to working on skins and bundles!"
