It’s the only map that ever gets voted for in the Crimson DLC playlist. I’m guessing because it’s the only map with mounted turrets and a mantis, so 4 of the 8 new obnoxious achievements can only be earned there.
It’s totally ruined the playlist to be honest. I like the map, but not enough to play it 8 times in a row before slayer pops up in voting on another map.
This is the biggest problem with MP achievements for map packs, they have to be balanced across the entire pack, or else one map will become the only map.
I usually get put on Wreckage or Harvest… To be honest, I hate Harvest, its just a straight line of buildings and trails. Wreckage, it looks thrown together but its not just a straight line. Myself, I find more people I am with vote for Harvest, lol… kinda sux. I have only played Shatter 1-2 times, Dominion, I think.
I can’t stand Shatter, it’s so confusing and just poorly designed, and the Mantis doesn’t help either. And yes, it gets voted for every time, even over Wreckage, so annoying. I really like Harvest and Wreckage is pretty good.
Harvest is interesting with its outside areas on either side, which is pretty cool, and gives plenty of room for Warthogs and I think the part on the inside is set up really well. Wreckage is just a fun map where map control is key, whether it be that area in the back that’s higher than everything or the part in the middle. It gets crazy, though.
Why all the hate for harvest… i love that map, it has long sight lines and is more rewarding for map control, while at the same time allowing multiple flanks. the map is alot like terminal… it even has a train (look up it drives around)
Well shatter is a good map. The only map i hate is wreckage because sometimes the enemy team camps up on the ramp where the energy sword spawns and DMRs everyone who tries to run up. If you take the man cannon, the guy with the energy sword gives you a nice hello.

I like trains.
OT: I only choose Shatter because I want to play Extraction.

I agree, I love Harvest on SWAT. But IMO shatter is a great map too. It just seems balanced to me.
And besides, if I have to play exile one more time…
Shatter and Wreckage are ok. The real question is, “What’s so great about Harvest?” Why do people keep on voting for it in Slayer? That map stinks for 4v4.
I hate how you have to go around the sides of the map to get to the middle of the map. Other than the rocket launcher spawning there in the initial ordinance, there’s really no incentive to holding the middle aside from farming turret kills for that achievement aside from objectives spawning there.
Also, didn’t they call it “a playground for the Mantis and Warthog?” Where are the Warthogs? It’s a gigantic map in CTF when you have to run the flag on foot and there aren’t any passenger carrying vehicles to be found. To my knowledge, the only
Warthog that spawns on Shatter is the Gauss Hog under Bravo in Dominion.
Anyone tried to play this map on split screen? It’s basically unplayable due to low frame rate. Someone (testers) really screwed up by letting it pass.
I want my money back!
> Wreakage is the Only DLC map I like, I cannot stand Shatter and Harvest.
agree, i figured id like harvest. But shatter im like WTF IS THIS theres a mantis… and harvest its like son of a -Yoink- why are their so many vehicles…
