@RayD_O1 I'm not really sure about the new Manifest. I don't know what it is but it seems iffy. I think it's because of how there's only 5 objective on the smaller version of it while both the Oribital and Renewal smaller versions on Conquest had 6 and 7 objectives respictively. If there was one more objective it might help.
I think it's also because of the layout of it on the smaller version because on the US's side you can't go up the road leading up to the back end of the weather station because it's off limits so that back part of the station that is accessible is kind of useless. The US's side doesn't have that more rounded/oval shape that it has in the big version and in the small Renewal and Orbital versions so it looks kind of weird.
There's also the far right area at C2 and C1 that seems kind of barren. Since a chunk of the right side of the location is removed you can't do the thing where you could drive the MAV or LCAA Hovercraft on a thin section of water from the start of the US side to the beach objective and not get stuck. I think that was the only section on the smaller versions of locations where you could go from an actual point A to an actual point B on water.
For some reason this new Manifest seems both too big and too small at the same time and I don't know how. I guess it's okay.
Didn't feel very different from the previous version. A and E have closer flags but nothing that makes it a lot better, and now you have a huge empty spot north of E or south of A. They changed the containers/covers quite a lot on A/E, but it didn't change the flow around the flags.
I always found Manifest as an "OK" map, and it's still an "OK" map. Not bad, not great (and fun part of it is still around B).
Don't like it.
Probably because I'm forced to play it on conquest instead of breakthrough.
Why the hell is the only breakthrough option the normal rotation???
Why do we wait 1.5 mins in matchmaking per round now?????????
Why do i have to die to nightbirds repetitively for 24 minutes so that i can go 31-8 barely able to find enemies to shoot and running on foot all over the stupid map, instead of enjoying breakthrough infantry play at 82-8????
Do I have the examples? YES
It's very interesting / enlightening to hear others views and also how the map is playing out in the various game modes.
I am still enjoying the reworked version in Conquest mode.
It is concerning to hear that some players have not been able to play it yet due to MM limitations.
Keep your feedback coming guys. 👍
