The new map is horrible
I do know that we are not even 1 day into the new season, I played around 25-30 games so far on the new map and it was a really bad experience. These might change in the future, but currently, it is...

@Renegade_Prime86 The map is brilliant. I played around 20 games today. This isnt KC where you just straight line from fight to fight. Only once did I die because I was down in an open area. And that was because I knocked someone from above and pushed down. Then a team came and took height. That is on me tho, not the game. There are jump towers you can use quite easily to get back choke points or to get to height. The buildings and POIs are brilliant. This map feels complete without any generic areas.
@Koochie-Q thank you for being a good map guide tonight.
The only issue I had was the audio. There is one area inside a factory or something where the background noise is so loud it kills the rest of the sound.

By the way, all the apartments and chill layouts are sweet for looks, loot and that's where fights become intense (and you need those close range guns)
Starting to like this map now. I think EA/Respawn took a good risk and made it something refreshing.
How long until they start map rotation...don't want to play this new map all the time.
Sheesh people every single season this is what we see. Worse season ever worse map ever worse changes ever. No one will ever be happy.
@E9ine_ACThat's bc I was looking forward to it. The way the new season was spoken about made me hopeful that some things have finally come together, but they didn't. Same issues after 6 seasons and then some. The audio IS worse. STILL being shot behind cover and corners. The BP and stars system IS worse. They buff and nerf weapons every season when they were perfectly fine in the last one. Why should there be bad weapons at all? Pair these things with a new map with weird loot spawns that doesn't make sense and I don't see a reason to be optimistic. I was happy with season 3-5 aside from the audio and server issues that could've been better but it's been on a downward slope from there.
The map feels a little out of place, doesn't feel like Apex. It might be bc it's still new, so I might grow accustomed to it, who knows? My biggest issue with it is the loot. Mosambiques and sentinels on every single drop, lack of ammo or shields or health, doesn't feel balanced.
- @E9ine_AC Forums, youtube comments, etc will always be full of people who hate the game but still play. Just keep in mind that they dont represent everybody and try to ignore them.

Indeed people who say they'll quit but they always come back.
Youtube/streamers hating the game, but they still play it daily :D Pretty sure I would not be able to play same game daily if I hated it.
I would dare say best Battle Royal game right now.
@hayhorNever said I want a KC style map again, and jump to fight to fights, I just wanted a decently balanced map, this is not balanced, this map feels like something rotten sugarcoated in yummy looking colorful candy, but when you have a bite it makes you throw up
And for the rest of you who wants to chill on the grass.....well.....lol, GG'sThis map is more like eye candy, and not meant for gameplay
why the hell everything has to be balanced??? never heard of a balanced MAP.
And also if, I don't care, never was for balancing anything. I am for more realism regarding weapons, but I know it will never be in such games.
Why the hell everything has to be nice, and balanced for everyone. Life isn't that, and I would wish games would go that way to, so that people stop crying once and for all.Yeah, largely agree. Heard so much positive about this new map on Twitch, and then when you actually drop there you're like... okay? All POI's look more or less the same. I can't tell any part of the map apart. Except for the dark noisy big bubble POI thing. Whereas on KC and WE you clearly feel; "okay, I'm going from Repulsor to Map Room", as the structures there are wildly different from one another. Here it's just some clunky huge structure, full of dead ends, or tiny small houses with like 4 loot items (and never a weapon) in them. And then you have to run for 15 seconds to find another small house with 4 loot items in it. Basically every POI feels like Bunker and Train Yard: No loot.
And the Trident... yeah, at least WE will be Trident free. Just too bad one has to wait 12 days for WE. But of course as map rotation. *sigh*
I do like the map but it's a bit 'messy' for me. In other maps it's easy to envisage individual areas but this one is more one continuous flow. I guess I will get used to it.
- @Renegade_Prime86 This map makes you plan your routes really well. And it gives a lot of options to move around the chokes. I'm not sure how you could balance it more.
