In Dust height gives a major advantage. This often leads to some interesting gameplay in PC battles where players race to grab the highpoints, and the other team tries to prevent or dislodge them from their perch whilst being bombarded by rail tanks on overwatch.
In Public matches the situation is a little different. Due to the decreased amount of teamwork in a public match, if one side grabs the right high point, they tend to keep it, and dominate the match.
When designing maps for legion I would suggest that you need to be more aware of the impact of vertical gameplay. Embrace it in some maps, and make it a disadvantage it in others. Remember that if it has a roof, Dust mercs are going to try to get on top of it and put an uplink on it.
Add wind effects that get progressively worse with altitude, (rather than the hard ceiling we have in Dust).

Come to think of it. If they introduced a bomber class dropship then it would make rooftops a much more difficult territory to hold. |

Any ADS pilot (or any dropship pilot with a gunner) worth his/her salt will blast you off the roof mercilessly. It's only a problem when their glitched into the ground
It'll be interesting to see if the improved hit detection, frame rate and bug fixes (both problems that current ADS pilots face) that will hopefully come in legion will make rooftop camping completely pointless. |
