May I say this is personally my least favourite map out of all so far.too bigtoo many open areasnot enough loot spread evenlylong sightlineseasier 3rd parties because map is so open and tridents are a thingsnipers are dominantits like they don’t test these things while in development smh.honestly this may have gone from my most hyped season to the worst season so far. And season 6 was a thing. Yet this is still worse than that somehow. Just an overall lack of intelligence or foresight when designing this season has really ruined it. Bad map design, bad battle pass design, still so many glitches and bugs you’d think this was a early access game.

@RockScorpion384 I am loving this new season, and the new map. I like the fact that the map is so complicated and involved you can't really get an advantage by having an A-Z of it in your head. It also has plenty of good loot areas where you and an enemy team can both land and get kitted up before you engage, unlike say Mirage Voyage, Octane's Gauntlet or Ye Olde Skull Town.The only thing I don't like is that Fragment lovers have found their version of Fragment on this map and drop there for RNG fighting.

@Sir_Named You really don’t have to search long for it... as its right beside the other one

@RockScorpion384I don't think it's to big, it's smaller than WE (had to fix that). The map needs some refinement but it's a great starting point for a new map. I love the multi-levelness of it. It's created some really fun playing dynamics for me.I would like to see loot refined in certain areas, Estates comes to mind. That place is a you drop there get armor and a gun, then get easy kills or get no armor and die. I've run through 5 buildings at that place and found no armor.Apex has always been a release and patch type of game. I'm okay with it. They can do a ton of testing, but when things go live on a server issues pop up that were not seen in testing. Testing they have a small number of people trying to hunt bugs. When it's released to the public you have millions of people playing, who are going to be able to find bugs simply because of the huge numbers playing.They patch the bugs fairly quickly. We just got a patch today.

@RockScorpion384 It actually isnt as big people think. There are just a lot of already polished areas created. The map is easily the best thing to happen to this game. You cant just run straight across it or at people. You actually have to figure out a plan.

I find this very interesting that this is your take on the new map, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion! I don't find the map big, I just think there is tons of areas with all different heights, lengths, widths etc. I think the loot on the map is better than most if you land in the right areas, I haven't really struggled to find a weapon at all throughout this season so far and for a new map they seem to have a good balance, the only thing that I would say is that it seems near to impossible to actually find a Turbocharger sometimes! Having the ability to see far across the map is a bonus IMO, throughout ranked you want teams to be fighting to stop it from getting sweaty so I do like this. One of the main things I have to disagree with you on is the 3rd parties, yes the map is open (in area's) but the 3rd parties have definitely been on the decline and I am playing ranked where 3rd's are usually a META! I have actually been shocked at the amount of gunfights we have been in and then not have another team pushing us after its been... nice? Tridents are just not good for pushing, they are so loud and you can get shredded whilst being on it... then you have about 2 seconds to dismount and then you're dead. It has also been less than a week since the game has come out, so you are always gonna have issues with bugs it happens in every game and they are usually very quick at fixing a lot of them!

@RockScorpion384 Honestly....just forget your rotation habits you've picked up on the other maps.
Moving from POI to POI in the most efficient way possible will just get you lit up lol, due to the utter lack of cover between most areas.
I personally like to start on an outer area and then just rotate around the central area of the map, there's much more cover and its considerably easier to push or disengage a fight.
There's more than enough loot on the map so you really don't need to spend long at all looting.
Pathfinder ziplines are extremely valuable on this map too to be honest, surprised I'm not seeing more of him this season.

@RockScorpion384 First off i would argue that the map is not to big...

Second i think the loottable is somewhat okay, more and more people will figure this out where to go etc

I have less issues to get thirded on Olympus than on KC
Whats the issue with "snipers" beeing Dominant? i dont think they are at all...You can pretty well evade long range engagements if you really would like to, but you simply cant W into a team(that has long range weapons)on the other side of an open field

I tell you a secret:
A loadout like R99+Mastiff will limit you massively on this map and if you decide to run something like this then you need to play arround the areas it works in...

You can Contest "snipers" very easy with a Wingman and i demolish every sniper with wingman lol...R301 can also contest anyone on high range hell even a Volt can do that to some extend
Let them snipe if they want, i have no interest in sniping at all and mainly run Wingman+Volt but i find it refreshing to not see everyone with mastiff

too big
too many open areas
not enough loot spread evenly
long sightlines
easier 3rd parties because map is so open and tridents are a thing
snipers are dominant
its like they don’t test these things while in development smh.

@RockScorpion384y apex was fun for fast engagement, I don't like loot 5-10 min and then fight.
Olympus not design for 60 ppl who already 40%-70% diead after 3 min.
and after steam release I notice the increase number of aim bot.

snipers make fight boring as hell because apex remove movement skill like what they did with bunny hop.
and usually after ur wipe these snipers u get 3rd party because snipers loud as heel.
