Why do I get maps that are tank friendly 19/20 of the time, especially in domination? The maps I see most often are:
1) Table top above objective with a road down the middle.

|______|
|__[A[__|
|______|
2) Pipes down the middle horizontally with building in the middle with objective on the left side
---------------------------- [A[ |_____|----------------------------
3) Objective completely exposed surrounded with flat/hilled land with pyramid / building next to it
..................(A)...............

4) Bridge with objective on one side:

5) Like #3, but there is a road in-between with a train (?) in the way with a walkway behind it:
|__________________|
..................[A]................
....|_____________|.......

#4 and #5 are at least somewhat bearable because there is enough cover to stay away from the tank.
The maps I rarely see but enjoy:
6) The objective is inside a building, but in a silo with an supply depot down the hall with two doorways:
...___(supply)
...|
...|
( A )-----|
...........|
______|______
........(outside)
This is my favorite map because it's all infantry, but I rarely see it. A dropship can come from the top, and no one is safe from war barges. Tanks have to wait outside.
7) Objective is inside a building with a stairway next to it:
____.......................____

I like this one too. It's not safe from tanks as there is a large opening to fire into, but it's (somewhat) safe from warbarges.
There are a couple other maps, but those are within firing range of a blaster tank as well, even when inside.
The maps themselves aren't bad, it's just getting maps that are overwhelmingly tank friendly. I find myself spending most of the time doing AV than as a logi, which for me isn't very fun when it's every single match.
I think it may have to do with there being more tank friendly maps than infantry friendly maps, so if you pick at random statistically those will come up more. I would really like to see the infantry friendly maps weighted higher, or provide more infantry friendly maps. |
