In the months and months since this game has been out, I think I’ve played a full game on Meltdown a total of maybe 3 times, due to the voting system and the fact that I don’t play BTB a whole lot. People always choosing Exile and Ragnarok in BTB is completely ridiculous tho, mainly Exile, that map has never really deserved the playtime it receives at all.
Meltdown however, looks like a fun map and I have really enjoyed it the very few times I’ve actually played it… It’s a pretty small BTB map tho, and I think with the proper adjustments it could play 4v4 very well. There are so many quick jumps and routes to the middle…
I think just maybe having a couple of Ghosts on the map and some good weapon spawns/placements, rockets maybe and a couple of snipers, would really make the map play great for smaller teams. Maybe a couple of blocked routes as well, or blocking off the bases (that are pretty secluded from each other) and you wouldn’t have people abusing the map and hiding.
It’s a shame that such a cool looking, seemingly balanced map, under the right settings/circumstances, is being overlooked to the extent that it has. It comes across as one of the better maps in the game in my view… and if Complex could play 4v4 initially, I see absolutely no reason why Meltdown couldn’t support it too (and play 4’s much better even).
I would really like seeing Meltdown thrown into smaller team rotations in one of the next playlist updates. Infinity Slayer especially…
