No fixes for Manhattan Bridge in the roadmap?
I can't help notice Manhattan Bridge is not on the list of maps that will get fixes in the upcoming roadmap. Now I'm not entirely sure if there's an overall consensus over this, but I do think a bunch of people would agree that:
- The roof camping on that map is utterly obnoxious. Roofs can't be accessed through the buildings, and buildings can't be fully destroyed, leading to overpowering positions with, once you own helo is down, little counterplay. Roofs overlooking E and A are probably the worst, although a spawn gadget on the top level of D will defend the point all match.
- The little bird is utterly bonkers on that map. Main issue will be on A: with the obj being a small square in a narrow street, a pass for the bird will just clean everything up every time. All they need to do is set up at the end of the street and just come down at full speed.
- There's very little the infantry can do to the helos, the streets are too narrow and pilots are smart enough not to hover. You have to be on a roof - again - and be lucky.
The infantry and gourd vehicle play is actually a lot of fun, and I really enjoy that map without the roof camping. But once people start parachuting down, it becomes miserable.
I think the fix is easy: just remove the choppers, they literally serve no other purpose than getting people on inaccessible roofs. If you can think of another way, like making rooftops accessible, great, but otherwise please consider doing this.
