I played the new map for about 3.5 hours tonight. I enjoyed it a lot. I loved the oversized POIs. I loved the zip line things. This is going to be a great season for pubs I think.

I love the new map. Absolutely love it. Please erase all other maps. It's like they've designed a map ideal for my main skills (good at mid/long-range, good at sneaking up, average at CQC, poor reaction times).After 50 or so games I've had six wins. My KDR for Season 14 ended up at 1.34 but for Season 15 it's currently 2.45.Enjoying the new legend too. Because I play Fuse about 95% of the time I can only play legends with an 'offensive' tactical as when I play and see a knuckle-cluster opportunity I auto hit the left button, which is why anyone who plays with me when I'm playing Lifeline wonders why I pop the heal-bot out when there's absolutely no need for it.

@hayhorMap is... acceptable. Loot feels thinner than ever. The guns I don't want are everywhere and the two that I do want are even harder to find than last season, or so it seems. The ziplines seem like fun, although also feel like a passive nerf for Pathy. But then everything does these days. The matchmaking seems to have decided that all thirsters be put in my lobbies and that's sucking some of the fun out of the new map, but I'm sure that will pass and I'll be able to be more objective. Or would care less if I had a triple take.

@hayhor I'm loving it, the detail is incredible. Zip lines are fun and there's loads of loot. Movement and response times from a controller seem to have been improved.

I am actually a little surprised most of the comments are quite positive, nice!For me personally, I am not enjoy this map much at all. As far as I am concerned this map is literally Storm Point 2.0We know the Dev's always mention not to rely on loot in bins.... that main loot is in buildings. With that being said, why is most POI's 80% loot bins with minimal ground loot. Overall loot in general on Bowel Movement is awful. Played for 2 days, consistently awful. Like Recon said - can find all the crap loot you don't want and struggle to find decent or good loot. I do not see the zips as a positive thing whatsoever. They divide the team on a regular basis. I play with randoms and these zips literally create even worse teammates disappearing. Once they are on it, they are gone. I don't want to navigate and strategize positioning and so on, relying on zips to get around counters those very things. Too much foliage again same as storm point. Fine if you run a scan legend, but I do not and refuse to resort to scan legends to play. Its an integrity thing. I want to rely on skill and positioning, not a given hack which requires little to no skill. But for a non scan legend, I found areas of the map where on flat ground battling someone 25 meters away, the foliage actually surpassed mine and my opponents heads. Dumb! Guess this is where Advantage gets to have some fun. I am surprised that considering the new legend in my opinion is best suited for close quarters combat in confined places like caustic - that most of the buildings are massive and not as viable to that characters kit. I assumed that based on her kit, Bowel Movement was going to be the opposite of SP and have many small buildings and many areas which would focus on CQC. Anyways, it has some nice things but overall, Two thumbs down. I now am just waiting to play some Olympus. P.S. - MM is awful out the gate.

@hayhorSame. Zip rails are fun, POI's are really cool, skybox is amazing, loot seems good. Top marks!

First impressions are good. Hope it stays good for months. I remember having fun and enjoying Storm point for the first 2-3 weeks then it got old real quick.

Not missing Storm Point at all. Don’t bring it back unless there’s a major redesign of the map. If it’s just a new POI, no thank you.

Played for 4 hours with the boys. I absolutely love the map. I don’t know where it needs tweaks or changes (too early) but it feels good. Sometimes I get frustrated when I can’t find a door or where to loot but it’s the usual new map thing.

Quick rant: Broken Moon has a lot of good looking POIs. Why the heck did Respawn choose that ugly POI for the s15 teaser? Lol.

Only problem I have is not being able to know when a random decides to jump on the zip rail, it's fine as a group, but i'm already sick of having that teammate run off die, Octanes have been doing it way too long already.

@jaygates879 This is a new way for Bald Wraiths and Octanes to run off and die, for sure.

@hayhor I'll have to postpone my final thoughts on the map but for now i'm not liking it that much. Sometimes loot seems badly balanced and very poor, and there are some way too open areas around the map with some too op high grounds. I like the new ziplines though, they are a good way to fast travel across the map.
As for pubs for now i had terrible games because in round 2 there were only around 5 squads alive left, basically in every game i had.

@hayhor Played a good few hours today and still don't know where I prefer to land, there's a couple of places but I'm not telling 😜
I've not played ranked but even pubs feel sweaty as
