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 bad, and I don't even think it suites the competitive scene

- Lot of large open area with no cover, resulting, if an enemy team notices you with a sniper you are toast, happened to me a lot of times during my gameplay

- Even if you have any cover in the open areas it is too far, or the distance between the covers are so far you are toast

- Even between the loot containers are large spaces which make equipping your self with basic decent guns to fight extremely time-consuming

- Closed areas are too large or too small, if it's too large, gives a lot of opportunity for campers, if it's to small close combat is a mess because there are indications from everywhere where did you got hit with what

- Forced rotation point's what does not make sense

- Multi-level buildings, if a lucky team gets there you are toast again, because if you are on low ground, no cover, and getting to a zip line takes a lot of time, (not everybody mains Pathfinder or Horizon)

- Because of the distances looting is a sacrifice, you either don't have enough ammo or don't have enough meds or both

- I think the trident was introduced to travel a large portion of the map, utterly useless and its controls are clunky

- Loot pool is still the same garbage since the crafting system got introduced

I don't know if this is related to the map or not but the audio is even horrible than it was before, and before you say "Oh it's the beginning of the season there are bugs at this state, yada yada yada" you keep saying this since season 1 and still no fix for it

So far this season is overhyped in my opinion, we will see what the future brings, but I definitely won't be playing for a while

PS: If you think Respawn / EA cares about this game, just look at the battle pass leveling, all they want is the player's money

I'll be happy as long as new map doesn't have center map mentality "this is has been an issue with WE and Olympus for so long, devs just realized season 10 half the player base wants fragment gone".

I am literally shocked so many people hate this map. I will complain about SBMM and lackluster battle passes until I am blue in the face, BUT this map is gorgeous and plays really well.

To the people who hate this map, just remember that this forum was full of people who hated Worlds Edge when it first released— I was one of them. Then it slowly became a map that people loved.

Change can be jarring and it often skews our ability to judge. I have a strong feeling this map is going to be a fan favorite soon enough.

This is so true.

Also an odd thing about this post. I don't see it on the main page, I had to get to it from my Chrome history. Is someone trying to hide it because of all the votes?

This is exactly what I have been saying. You don't find a single soul for 10 minutes just to run into a random area that contains 4 squads for some reason.
Another issue is that there is too much foilage, sometimes people can just "disappear". No way for you to see or shoot at them. This is mainly due to the foilage and enormous hills on the map.
This map also turns into the largest running simulator if you are having a bad zone.
The only positive thing is that the map looks cool. NGL, i would prefer Olympus or WE

Hi, we're going to lock this thread, while there are legitmate criticisms and feedback on the new map, it's muddled in with a post from a year ago about a different map.

Please feel free to post about the new map, but it's best in a new thread.

Thanks.
