    Its just that the ridiculous slopes make this map a fucking chore. Have fun trying to aim a mortar downhill or push uphill.

    Also res need to take an axe to the neck. Its only going to be worse if you really want to make it midbrdige and just throwing meds away left right and center should not be a game winning tactic.

    This will probably get denied but I think that midbridge is more fun with falldamage on. Otherwise people just keep spawning on the bridge and jumping down and there's nothing you can do.

    I approve of fall damage. I also approve of midbridge since it's a huge map and if the population trend remains, we need huge maps.

    I don't approve of the date because my final is on the 29th. Boo hoo.

    I'll support that, it's gonna be hilarious to see people fall a lot first round.

    No kidding. Fuck midbridge.

    Why aren't we playing some underplayed custom maps instead of bad stock maps?

    atomic? fuel? forest? king?

    We never get to play those and they are eighteen times better than midbridge.

    Not sure if I can show up that day, I got a concert at 7:30.
    And I need to leave 2 hours before the time to prep and catch public trans.

    Fuck you, forest is so underrated.

    The side paths are consistently too wide to wall off and chokepoint. So wide that you can have epic open-map style vehicle battles, but it's not an open map. And the flag encourages infantry combat well, but doesn't require it.

    We used to play forest all the time, but now viper doesn't have it on the nominate list anymore. Why does no one love forest?

    ?

    You can still get tanks in the mid part, I don't know what you mean about infantry battles. Sure early game, but it's like that on all maps.

    I'd like to play forest but it has some resource issues with the flag that I'm not sure if they have been fixed.

    I meant to say that forest encourages infantry combat there, but doesn't require it. Most of the "encouragement" comes from all of the cover strewn around that area.

    For context, I'm not a super fan of the center flag on fuel because it requires infantry combat. Likewise, almost all maps allow infantry combat, but quite a few don't encourage it well. There's a nice balance that Forest has struck and that's one of the things that makes me a total fanboy.

    I agree with fall damages, however it won't have as much as an impact as you'd think because people can just jump in the water.

    I also agree, we should try to play underrated/underplayed maps as much as possible, I would add, plunge, chain, arid (the desert map with the canyon in the middle) I think it is, let's make a list.
