Re: PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES GARDEN WARFARE 2’S TALE OF THE TACO

@HailBifrostGlow wrote:
@Iron_Guard8Well, in the frontline flats map, the taco usually spawn right in the center. People just camp there and wait for it to spawn and quickly get another point. I was on the plants as kernel corn and the zombues win like 11 to 0.

Frontline Flats is the only map I think this game mode doesn’t fit.

I entered a game that was 11-0 (for the plants) and it ended 14-0 less than two minutes later.  Brutal.

To fix the map, the tacos should spawn in the very middle (as it does now), in the cave (on the far end of the map), and in the doorway far opposite of the cave.  Otherwise, all 3 taco spawn points are too close together/can be camped too easily.

Aside from Frontline Flats, I wish changing teams was disabled and that’s my only critique. 

Pretty fun fun mode otherwise.  Kudos to the originator; I LOVE capture the flag-based modes.

    When I played a round on frontline flats, the taco ONLY spawned on the plants side of the map.  Can you say "instant loss?"

    I didn't get Frontline Flats when I played the event so didn't see that. They definitely need to keep the multiple spawn spots I saw elsewhere and keep it random so it can't be camped and you can't be sure of where it will pop up. It was great on Colizeum for sure as it had at least 3 spawn spots.

    I've given up on this portal event.  Fortunately I have all CP stickers so I have no need to participate when I don't want to.  Presently I have around 53 mystery portal packs saved in my shop.

    Frontline Flats spawns the taco in the middle of the map every time but the positions of the Plants' base vs the Zombies' and the spawn locations of the taco ruin the map for this mode.

    I made a run of ~10 straight tacos and didn't record it before I saw your comment so I played again last night and recorded it to show the Plants' perspective on this:



    I hate to see the map removed from the game mode because changing the spawn location of the taco would fix the issue (it should spawn on the far ends of the map and the direct middle).

    I killed 2,000 - 3,000 people in this game mode and never once saw the taco land on one side or the other; it was always the middle but the Plants have the advantage with the current configuration.

    I think the new portal event is bias for whomever has the capture point. It's nearly impossible fo the attacking team to win. Also, is it only gardens and graveyard, or is there herbal assualt? When I'm on zombies, the plants always spawn cap with the buffs( chompers) . I went to a lobby, and it was full of chompers. My suggestion is that the buffs also apoear at the zombies spawn point. Otherwise, I play for 7 minutes and only get 2 rainbow stars.
