I'm having some troubles to identify the various maps and I'm ashamed because I'm not exactly a new player... Have a laugh on me if you want, but please help me figure it out.
First of all, I can't see the Map's name in the spawn screen. I think that a visible Map name would help A LOT.
So, if I'm not mistaking (correct me if I'm wrong), we have some maps which will never change, they are absolutely static and these are:
-Ashland (my favorite by far)
-Line Harvest (silly exposed A and B positions, C and D under sheltered buildings)
-Manus Peak (sniper's paradise)
But I'm doing a lot of confusion with those dynamic maps. I can easily identify the main buildings (I think they are called Outposts), but the landscape varies..?
-Spine Crescent is the one with the massive bridge. Does the outpost vary here or is it always the same?
-Skim Junction, this one changes for sure. I like the Artillery compound (the one with the exposed cannon in the huge circular area), but hate the Communication structure (the Gallente-looking green-colored one), because it's not tall enough to give any cover (being a pilot) to HAV and dropships... and people spam uplinks on top of the large tower (it's the only noticeable tower but yet not so tall) and snipe or Forge-snipe across the whole map.
-Iron Delta? Does this change or not? The only thing I know for sure is that counter-sniping there is horrible because the "C side" hills give no cover and the other team is advantaged.
So which maps vary and which ones do not? And which are the possible random outposts for each map?

Manus Peak has a small socket at C and a medium socket at B, so there are quite a few variants of this map. You are correct on Spine Crescent.
Iron Delta and Skim Junction are the confusing ones because they are very similar. They both have a large socket (outpost) in the center with a small socket on both ends. The easy way to identify between the two is Iron Delta only has 2 objectives in the large socket while Skim Junction has three objectives in the large socket.
Sidenote: They don't want to put map names out there because they are actually supposed to be different planets and such. So you may play two rounds on Manus Peak back to back, but you actually have technically been on two different planets.
Thanks a bunch, this helps! |
