So 343i takes out the shotgun but leaves a sword in all those narrow corridors? At least add more Boltshots so you have some chance against all these sword campers hiding around walls.
Well overgrowth is just a crowded version of plaza for 1. For 2 of course they take out the shotgun, no matter how far away you are you get 1 shoted by it.
Actually there is a shotty it was just moved away from cloak. We found it on the map today while playing.
The map is made with sword in mind. The sword is intended to be OP. Kinda like how the sniper rifles are OP on Ascension.
Sucks they took shotgun away sorta. Now the sword pretty much reigns supreme. I hate overgrowth especially how it’s a Spartan charge fest usually… noobs must worship that map now.
I would play overgrowth over riptide any day both maps are rubbish but riptide is much, much worse there is absolutely no flow to that map it’s just a mess and why do all the maps need like 2 or 3 power weapons or power ups its too much fathom is perfect one of each right in the middle as it should be
I like Overgrowth… the twists and turns of close quarters is a nice contrast.
It’s certainly better now the shotgun is gone (when one team got their hands on both the shotty and the sword it was nigh on game over).
I guess there is still the camo to help counter the sword… but I think it would still be better if they took out the camo and put the sword in the middle for both teams to rush.
I find the rail gun pretty much useless around all the corners (but then again, I suck at it at the best of times).
You could also nerf the sword advantage by making it 50% battery?

I agree Riptide is atrocious, with stairs and corridors that lead to nowhere but choke points and you get caught. I find it ridiculous that 343i decided putting a Fuel Rod, and a beam rifle in such a ridiculous map with right spaces. Beam rifle is useless and fuel rod just becomes the only thing everyone rushes. At least when a team has the shotty in overgrowth it was easier to combat a rushing sword camper.

Not always true. There’s a bit of a delay to the shotgun actually firing and when I come across one I jump and dash past the user and throw a quick nade against the wall to hit him. They won’t push because they got jaded and I finish so off with like 5 AR shots since the nade takes most of their shield. It’s always better to be with someone to take out a shotgun user of you guys know what you’re doing. But yes there are times when the shotty reigns supreme like in the map Eden.
