Thunderdome (More bad ideas for this season)

I don't understand the thunderdome or how you're supposed to play mixtape games in it.

For most of the time all enemies are invisible unless bloodhound uses his skill to make them red. (Or scans and you see the diamond) Also, how were people jumping up to the high ledges without octane jump pad? I sure couldn't jump that high.

Further, I never once saw an enemy, and every time I got shot it was from behind. (I never saw the bullet)

Can someone please post a link to the thunderdome map where I can see where everything is?  It's very confusing and I also don't like the fact the enemies are invisible yet me and my team can be seen.  We're we invisible to the other team as well?

  I got some hits when I fired my gun at random from one of the platforms by hitting the enemies that were still invisible.  This is the worst idea I've seen so far, you should be able to always see enemies in mixtape, not have to guess where they are or use bloodhounds skill.

Also, what is the best strategy?  Should you take the zip lines to the top and wait for enemies to approach, then expose them with the skill and shoot from the ramp?  Or is it best to chase them through the caves at the bottom and fire when you hear steps (I got 1 kill this way)?

Anyway, I may not play mixtape anymore if this is how it us permanently, but does anyone have some strategy ideas?  Thanks in advance for the help.

  • @AymCTLIt is absolutely horrible! I take back everything I said about Gun Run on Zeus Station... I would love to Gun Run on Zeus Station now, just get this map outta here! Not only is it the worst map in the game, the crowd noise... why is it there?? I can't...

  • THIS MAP IS A MESS!!

    Did someone in Respawn got paid for this map? Like money? For this mess?

    The map layout is incomprehensible, the visual and sound clutter is ridiculous. Apex has already an historic problem with its terrible audio only to get even worse by adding the stupid crowd noises like The Finals did? Are you for real?

    The map itself feels like im playing a Counter Strike 1.6 custom map made by some 13yo kid who had no access to any sort of 3d asset so he just reused the ones that come with the game, so it is just a collage of copy-pasted parts of de_aztec and de_dust2.

    This is ridiculous....

  • Map itself is bigger than average mixtape matches and also offers more variety in terms of weapon choices. 
    Previously we had like two options of the control maps where it would make sense to run snipers. And I (+maybe few others) like to run around with snipers.
    So in my opinion its a good addition for a casual shooting. Forcing it as the only option to play in mixtape for a period is not good though. 

    The edge areas are a unnecessary maze that no-one uses. All the action is happening around the skull. One team sits at the top while other ints/snipes from across. 

    It takes a while for "meta" to be found out for maps like Pylon (Wattson fences all around the top) and to me in this map I have liked that my main man Fuse is fun to play.
    To me there is not a clear meta in this map yet.
