It's seriously awful. Every null cannon console is visible to snipers, some (like A) from the redline. Redline rails run rampant. I don't know what the map designers were thinking.

I like it. Can't just run into the open like a scrub.
No idea on my guns right now. Getting majority to level 3 at least, then deciding.

It's not that bad. It's annoying, sure, but it's not like the snipers have much to look forward to these days.... Besides, you can always leave the battle, right? |

So take away the only map the plays to the strengths of an entire role (sniper) in the game? No.
What will be your legacy? Will you rise, or will you fall?

Agree.
Also add Line Harvest to that....
Consider Ashlands too.
These 3 are the worst maps,once a team is in a disadvantage or red-lined,there is no going back.

The current maps are still somewhat a form of testing for when we get to fight over the entire district rather than small maps.
With the size of the warzones, you can't expect every area to have tons of cover.

It's one of the few maps that snipers are actually viable.
I wouldn't mind if it was removed if every socket and map had balanced gameplay. |

I love Manus. Its possibly my favourite map.
fighting in CQC sockets is boring, gimme wide open, sweeping plains to drive across or laser on.

I despise Manus because hillside spawn never has less than 3 railtanks with a perfect view of not only each objective, but all the airspace on that whole map.
If the redline didn't exist, I'd probably love that map.
But, it does, so I don't.

I don't disagree with that but I find you get the best, most intense fights on Manus between vehicles, infantry, etc if the teams are competent.

All that means in practice is that 3-4 blueberries that would otherwise be providing cannon fodder are now sitting in MLT sniper fits getting 1-2 kills all match. Also, there's a difference between playing to the strengths of a role, and allowing one skilled sniper to effectively lock down an entire point. Manus Peak is the latter.
@True Adamance: I can see why it would be a fun map with two competent teams, but when was the last time that happened in a public contract?
Also- there's no defense against tanks on Manus Peak. No cover, nowhere to hide, and blaster tanks can literally pull up inches away from every null cannon. Short of redline railing them down, there's nothing to be done. |

Primarily why I llke Manus. I get to fight other tankers. On no other map does positioning and module status matter more than Manus.

CCP did say not so long ago at Vegas that; they wanted to make it so all objective hacking points (on all maps) couldn't be camped by snipers....

Manus Peak in Domination mode is the only place where my laser rifle is consistently useful.
The PC and SL should fit into the Sidearm slot so it's accessible and practical to carry one.

Alpha is the only letter that's open to snipers. The other letters aren't really that exposed. Especially considering the different variations of the structures. I also always consider what it's like for a sniper after running with Gem for so long. For awhile it was just me and him. I don't feel as though this really an open map. The new five letter that's real long and Delta is connected to the Aplha bridge. That one has lot's of open spaces. Especially considering the very unusued space under the bridge. I think people call it the canyon. Right now it's a lot better than it used to be with maps. I'm tired of the new ones. But there used to just be one map. One map for six months straight. Line Harvest. So feel lucky tards!

Hell yeah! Old Manus Peak! I don't know why CCP pretends like it's so difficult to make maps. Why don't they just give us a map editior. There should be a section called map editor. We could make our own maps. Then there could be a section called Player made maps. Then the community could vote on em. The highest voted in a week or whatever could get put into the normal rotation. Would take more time and bs off of CCP so they could focus on why people can't operate the weaonry in this game that most people just don't seem to have a problem with
