The OG Overgrowth gave priority to the blue team that has the fastest/safest access to the sword, shotgun, and camo.
Then they removed the sword (replaced by the needler), removed the shotgun (replaced by Carbine), and changed the splinter grenade spawn near the red spawn.
Personally, I think the game was better either way.
I loved the OG Overgrowth because it was so hectic, but if your team controlled the sword and/or shotty, it was pretty much game over.
I do miss the original splinter grenade spawn, it was good to set bait and traps to anyone pursuing you. Needler isn’t as effective in this map because it’s easy to evade behind cover with all the hallways and tight corridors.
The original weapon/power up placements were terrible and far too heavily favoured blue
that being said even with the changes its still
one of my least favourite maps
The original was terrible. At least now theres some sort of balance
I’m glad you can’t have access to a Shotgun and camo directly at the start of the match, I think the new Overgrowth weapon set is better.
I always liked Overgrowth. It was always a fast paced game, and I never felt like it was one sided when I played on it.
I actually enjoy the map less now because there’s not much unique about it (used to be the most cqc focused map), but now it feels a lot slower paced and it’s back to the ol pistol br shootout routine. I guess that’s what happens when most of your community is both prone to tantrums and outright opposed to change cause they’re obsessed with one style of play. Oh well.
Its grown on me. But seriously, I used to not like it, but recently enjoyed playing it. Maybe it was just fiesta but I liked it.
It’s better now without the sword and shotgun but still the worst map IMO
the new weapon loadout is fine but I still don’t like how the flow works.

add me, i usually play Arena mostly team Arena.
Overgrowth is fine now, but i think it left a very bad taste in everyones mouth and thats why people are meh about it now… me included.
I can’t really say much about this, as, from my my experiences of overgrowth it’s just:
running along dark -Yoink-, detailed corridors,
picking up weapons
just about seeing the guy standing behind the vine
he kills you
FUN!! Good -Yoinking!- job 343i
I still just don’t like the map, it’s just bad, and that is sad because Plaza is pretty good. There is far too much Debris in overgrowth, and the fact that it is so fast paced bothers me, I like the way the other maps flow but I always find myself getting gunned down by all the sight lines.

This is one of the reason why the map doesnt sit well with me, the straight corridors makes it so if you’re in combat you have a good chance that you’re finishing that fight you can hide for cover to recharge or lead them to your friend for some strategy takedowns, its more of a who shot first battle at that point since you can’t mold the map as well.
I’m not. I still hate that map.
I don’t like the weapons on the map, rail guns are okay but they don’t excell on this map, a close range weapon is needed and maybe a plasma caster for all the corridors?
Never really played slayer on this map, maybe once or twice. i only play swat and i think this map is perfect for that.
Its a pretty good SWAT map in my opinion, I haven’t really played it on any other mode.
It’s alright. Still a bit salty about the og weapon placements on the map.
