...has to be one of the most terribly thought out maps I have ever suffered though in a videogame. I've had disdain for this map ever since I started playing back at the launch of Uprising, and it's only gotten exponentially worse with each update. Now, I understand having maps that reward different playstyles, some that reward vehicles, some that reward sniping? But did it have to be the same goddang map?! If you've got 1 sniper on your team and 1 well placed rail tank in skirmish, congratulations, you've made two points completely unhackable with almost no effort. I thought the devs said that they made it a point to not have objectives out in the open to avoid problems like this.

Now I pride myself on a never give up attitude, and usually fight my way into a deficit if I'm passionate about the match. But if you're on the wrong team on Manus Peak, it becomes, no hyperbole intended, unplayable in skirmish. In domination I've never seen a map so handily give one team such a huge advantage, It's a beautiful sight if the team starting on the northerm end can overcome and take over, but that happens so rarely that I think I might have only seen it in a fever dream. I can't say what it's like on ambush since I rarely mess with that mode (I know my limits) but from what I hear, it's hell on....earth I guess. Although iirc, ambush on Manus Peak is the main reason that I almost never play ambush anymore.

I know that CCP has rearranged the null cannon layout out on maps before when they weren't working as intended, and if there is any map that isn't working as intended, it's gotta be Manus Peak.

...That said, Line Harvest, Border Gulch, and Fracture Road are really fantastic (even on ambush) and work well for most play styles from the look of things (maybe not so much for redline snipers on border gulch, but who cares about them?). More maps like those please, and thank you.

Manus Peak was the source of my woes too when I first started, especially laser FOTM days. You will learn. Each time you play, you will learn. And hopefully your corpmates learn as well (if you're squadding with them). Before long, you will come to enjoy that map. Good luck Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Are you OUKH?

Can't say on ambush will never play that mode cause it's pointless and unmotivational in all aspects. Noobasaures: "Rawr" Laser Rifle Specialist, Rail Rifles... Lol fail STINGY: Yes I did nickname my laser rifle.

Bravo and Charlie are always rotating sockets each match and many of the sockets allow no direct line of sight of the hack terminal from afar. Mail me in game if interested in learning about the Amarr Empire and serving them in Faction Warfare. Amarr Victor!

Am I the only one that thinks there's a major issues with the northern and western null cannon placements on this map? More so than another other null cannon I can think of in the game?
CommanderBolt ACME SPECIAL FORCES RISE of LEGION 894	Posted - 2014.03.01 12:38:00 - [9] - Quote Manus Peak is the worse map I have ever had the misfortune of playing on in ANY FPS game in ALL TIME. It does not matter what game mode you get it in it sucks all the same. Ambush = tank spam farming spawns with no way to do anything about it. Dom = One side has a clear upper hand. Skirmish = So boring. Seriously my whole corp pretty much dislikes that map. Its design is just bad bad bad... Join our public channel - ACME SPECIAL FORCES PUB For the STATE!

Opportunity will arise to push the letter, that's the best way we have found to work that map from the north. CEO Whiskey squad leader Invictus Maneo~"I Remain Unvanquished"~

Beck Weathers Ghosts of Dawn General Tso's Alliance 566	Posted - 2014.03.01 16:48:00 - [18] - Quote Love that map, nothing says easy flanking like all those hills and rock spikes, especialy when everyone on that ridge is shooting down on the objective, i just walk down the ridge line with my Shotty and take them out one at a time. These forums must be located in the Californin country side, there is whine as far as the eye can see.
Broonfondle Majikthies Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 898	Posted - 2014.03.01 16:49:00 - [19] - Quote I have to agree with the dislike of that map, but only for my characters that require more cover (scout) and those without long ranged weapons. I concede that that is down to personal choice so I accept it. What I can't accept about that map is that after all this time they still haven't fixed the terrain and the sockets so we don't get stuck on the hills "...where Bylothgar the Ill-postured was made King of the People With No Name But Decent Footwear"
