I was going to resurrect the old money_redux thread but it seemed to just be a better idea to start a new one. If someone could delete the old one that would be great.

When destroyed, they drop 16 containers which will wreak havoc on the bridge below, destroying and killing most things they land on. The containers can be cleared with explosives afterwards but this can give a desperate team enough time to prepare a defense.

Concerning the ref placement from the minimap, wouldn't it be simpler to just put a third forward ref between the two 3x-res refs and then just have three 2x-res refs instead of 2 3x-res refs? That way all of the refs have the same income. Otherwise, it's hawt.
I think the two forward refs give more resources because they are also more vulnerable. From a design standpoint it makes perfect sense
Pretty much this. If I was going to split them up however, I would probably put them on the middle platform somewhere to encourage fighting there.
If you put three 2x-res refs in a line up front, then that's the same res as two 3x-res refs in the same part of the map. The difference is that now all of the refs on the map have the same res and everything is simpler. It's a tiny change with a tiny benefit.
One minor thought is that taking down a 3x ref is gonna hurt the enemy team a tad more. By having it next to the ramp, and from what I can see easy enough to shoot from the bridge, they are more likely to get destroyed. Putting one in the middle of them I have a feeling is gonna stay alive quite a bit longer, defeating the purpose a bit. That's just my guess though, I haven't played it and don't know exactly what it looks like beyond those screen shots. If you really want everything to be 2x refs I suggest putting a 2x ref on each side of the mid part, where the bridges come together. Out of the way enough to not be in the way, but in the way enough to be fought over constantly.
I always liked Terminators version(s) and cl, I just never understood why people bothered to play the Trickster version. Also Inb4 "this crashes Viper!"
i prefer this version over all the other money versions. and thats alot of money versions. its great that it makes middle actually worth fighting for (and that new destructible crate container is fucking hilarious i love it). i was worried terminator left for good
