Needed in Team Snipers
camp the lazer spawn fest
The only DLC map i like. I don’t ever see it enough to give enough feedback.
It’s beautiful, but gameplay is terrible.
It definitely needs something else on the map. Maybe add a Revenant for both sides or a Rocket hog in addition to the normal hog.
Sniper spawns need to be moved and have a longer timer.
Base rocket launchers should be exchanged with Concussion rifles
Replace Laser and Plasma Launcher with Rocket and Fuel Rod respectively.
Increase spawn timer for Hog if they add any additional vehicles
Much like Countdown, it’s weapon layout does not mesh well with it’s map design. Because of the design of weapon placement, there is little incentive to push up past half unless you’re attempting to score a point in objective. You can literally stay on your side of the map and win. Not to mention the fact that there is a Power Weapon at every turn. I honestly think that with a complete overhaul of weapon layout, it could be a really solid BTB map.

Agreed. I think there should be a Neutral 2+1 Clip Sniper where Grenade Launcher is (no other snipers), Laser at Plasma Launcher (so it isn’t immediately effective once you pick it up), and Magnum or something where Laser normally spawns. Make both Shotguns have no spare clips, and have the no spare clip Rockets close to each base but not exactly at each base.
I think it is one of the better looking maps in the game. The gameplay on it can be slow a lot of the time this just might be because i’ve only played on it with 6 people per team. I like how sniping from the the towers at the bases isn’t to easy becasue of the the obstructions.
Best BTB map on Reach. The only problem is that the Spartan Laser spawns too quickly. Maybe set it at 180 spawn time. (If it isn’t already.)

The Laser is too prominent a weapon because of its position, not its spawn time. Putting it over at PL’s spawn would help hamper its immediate usefulness.

But if they sit at laser spawn with it there’s a covered are beneath it that you can drive through if you don’t want to get shot, from the PL side they can see just as much of the map with the covered area beneath them covering much less of the distance between the 2 bases.

No.

Snipers are already on a three minute respawn. And no.
> Base rocket launchers should be exchanged with Concussion rifles
-Yoink- no.

No.

No.
Hey I know this is a little off topic, but if I were to buy a DLC does it span over all my gamertags in use on my 360 or a single one?

DLC can be used (to my knowledge) for everyone on the console as long as one account purchases it and downloads it.
Every time I have plugged in another account along with my main, that other account can use things like Legendary flames. Whether or not this is because my main account is signed in isn’t known by me.

There are many boxes and whatnot surrounding PL spawn as well as the fact that the area itself is overlooked by the wide open Waterfall area and can be easily shot for multiple directions. The Waterfall laser spawn is a more immediate threat since it overlooks the entire Battlefield, and can be used to score a fast double kill off of the first Warthog more efficiently than if at PL spawn where there are so many obstructions.
Can we please get a heavier weighting on this map in BTB. I would like it to come up everytime all 16 players have the map. It is crying out for more players.
I just want less power weapons on this map. Other than that it’s one of the best maps on reach.

It’s too restricted with all the kill/soft boundaries.
The middle is too open, and you get hit with all the Power weapons.
Nice View and artistic feel though.

Bold=I agree with you there.I do wish that they would have adddsome cover .But then again, perhaps that is to “persuade” you to not travel there?Creative[forgot] could have meant that area to be used primarily for vehicle travel paths, and “persuade” players to not travel out there due to the possiblilty of becoming a super eaasy target.
