Sorry for the rage, but these maps are terrible. All the rest are awesome, but these maps stand out in a bad way.
I don’t know why, but I’m just not made for solace. EVERY time I have played on solace, my performance has been oddly low. It’s a two-story rectangular maze-like map with 2 buildings at each end. I guess the reason I hate it is because there is no way to catch someone out in the open. It’s just blindly traveling and hoping to get lucky. The thing is, though, I feel like Solace could be likeable, and that I’m just being sour.
Complex is beyond hope for anything other than CTF. The team that controls the roof building controls the game. It is a map with a single strong point that is incredibly difficult to counter. Thus I always try to avoid it when playing certain game modes. Don’t get me wrong though, this is a map that could work brilliantly on gametypes like dominion.
Now that I’ve gotten the rage out of my system and into the unforgiving world of the internet, I’d like to know if any of you agree with me, or if I’m just bad.
I do dislike Complex. It reminds me of that one Forge map that made it into 4v4. I forgot what it was but it was made on the area on top of the Collesium.
Complex is just trash and all the wall glitching in objective just kills it. Like you solace it sucky as well. I too go terrible whenever i play it. Ragnarok i have had enough of. Whether they forgot to color it in or have issues in their heads because the brightness of that map is ridiculously blinding.
The only things I don’t like about Solace are the DMR wars at the beginning for the snipers, and that jetpack abuses the snipe towers and the short cover around everything else too easily. I know I’m QQing about the jetpack, but that AA breaks the map and makes me hate both it and the map. I know how you feel regarding the rage on Solace.
I hate Complex too. Never have fun with it. Roof top battles all day, every day.
Complex though, I understand your hate. Its like they brought in the guy who designed Sword Base from Reach to do that map since the entire battle revolves around one specific area.
I enjoy Complex but agree that the rooftop is an annoying spot. I love Solace, no idea why anyone wouldn’t love it. It’s like if if Lockout and Narrows had a baby.
> Complex’s roof is annoying, but I love Solace. Adrift and Solace are my two favorite maps (I don’t like Haven that much, too open).

Adrift is one of my favorites, especially with flood. It’s close-quarter enough to be a credible layout for strategies, but not so close-quarter that it has the clausterphobic feeling of Solace.
And again, maybe I haven’t found a good strategy for Solace, so my view of it might change if I adapt to it. That said, I don’t see myself adapting to Complex.
