Suez Canal

[TheProphet2213]

I'm starting to get a nack of hating it, i want minsk back, it was a kool map it wasn't to big, or to small, gave the perfect amount of balence of any titan map i think its time we give it a shot, and suez im just getting sick of the bland uhh desert feel, i mean every crash back to suez... and the map is like terrible aa wise, and it also gives limey a place to hide and gives duke places to run to, making me guess one where to stay and wait for my prey...

[thedeadlyassassin]

Meh.. im about 51% yes and 49% no. I really like both maps, suez probably more. But I cannot stand playing it over and over again when the server crashes. maybe just add whatever other map is called without a replacement? If I were to choose, id take out that one long one with the snow (not verdun) and place in whatever. I can't stand long maps.

sirex becomes too predictable..
so grab ur knives while sirex looks into the sky!

[TheProphet2213]

oh definatly mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine minez000000000000rrrrrrrrrrrsssssssss

[thedeadlyassassin]

actually now that I know how to use it, Im loving the anti air too

[werewolfdaddy]

It's great for keeping the gunships in line.

I do more than stare at the sky, i only spend 1 second in my visor, rest of the time i'm listening for airships, people, vehicles and other things like weapons fire and that.

There is a trick to it, its not point lock click like most people think, if you do that its pure luck you kill, with 1 mag.

Suez is a great map for tanking and using jets, not so good for many other things, so there's probably a lot of vehicle heavy "no" votes. The problem with Minsk is that it's hard on the system, too many things going on texture wise, though it can be fun when it's not slowing down. It's certainly better in Titan than the unbalanced mess it is in Conquest.

Well, do tell.

[TheProphet2213]

i say we bump suez up one and put minsk as default crash fall back?

Well if you just point lock and click, your going to get their sheilds, which is non productive, i just know when to fire, if you want i'll study myself next time i'm doing it, and take notes lol
You learn what works best for you, with me I usually make them panic like a lil mouse, and fire when they seem to be panicing (their flight movement changes becomes more irratic and sharp) by that time you know the sheilds are gone.

Also you need to make sure you can get a clean hit on their weak spots, like transports, i wait till it goes over, then fire at it.

I find it a frustrating map as well. I Just unlocked the Pilum and I am getting used to the Engineer Kit which seems to be vital on that map.
Maybe it just makes sense to switch to the map that the server starts on when it crashes. That way if we keep Seuz in the rotation it won't be played quite as much.

[paceman]

If I were going to get rid of one, it would be that spam fest with the big water tower. OMG I hate that map.

[Tails_Kitsune]

I like Suez, but that's probably because I play Engineer. Suez can get pretty vehicle heavy, due to the fact that there are very few AA (unless you choose SAAW as engineer) and I believe there are only ground defenses at the uncapables. So, those who don't have a means of warding off vehicles can get overwhelmed at times.

Minsk titan was pretty fun. Minsk conquest is unbearable. As long as Minsk doesn't come back into conquest rotation. :roll:

[lilfoo]

i would like to see veridan for a bit. i like the fact that it is like titan and has 2 gunships. unlike sidi which only 1 and if the other team gets it i have to artillery it out of the sky.... (ask countless CLRs who played with me on the other team....)

Verdun is in the Titan rotation.

I think it was in reference to the conquest rotation, there is another thread about putting verdun on the conquest server rotation.

Please do not get rid of Suez! I love that map! The one I hate is Verdun because there is hardly any visibility at all while in any chopper. It drives me nuts, but I like all the maps.

[KurlonT]

I thought Minsk was taken out of the Titan rotation early on because it was suspect on server crashes.

But it would be nice to add it back in just to see if it's stable again since an extra Titan map wouldn't hurt.

[TheProphet2213]

Minsk can't cause a crash, it's like saying wearing a thong will give you HIV while a G-string will give you lots of sexy chicks hanging around, is there something in the water i should know about?

[KurlonT]

Minsk can't cause a crash

Actually map design can effect the server load (especially when the Titans could move). If you want the details ask Cain since it's his call on the map rotation for each server.

[TheProphet2213]

keyword could move... also, its not very much different than Vurdun, if anything that map crashes at least once when it plays, i mean like every third round server dies or something it always seems to crash on that one map.

[Dead_And_Gone]

I'm game for anything new. I like variety.
