Only part that was ****** was that objectives were WAY too easy to defend once you got entrenched. I think the only parts that survived since then are the 'bowl' objective, and parts of the tower near the middle objective. Man....I miss closed beta. It was such a small community but people were so optimistic and constructive. Now all I see are bitter vets... 
Yeah, Alpha vs Charlie combat was a hell of a lot more entertaining back then. Charlie was where Alpha is now and Alpha was in this interesting location that sort of had a ramp and a little goat-path that ran down the center... Made for some absolutely -BRUTAL- gridlocks and there was a lot of strategy involved in taking either location.
I remember getting caught in that goat path so often and players had to literally force through it just to make any progress. Then they changed the Nova Knives to be hand-held (since it used to be like the CoD melee) and I switched to that. That was when they were first introduced so no-one really knew what they were capable of, just that they looked freaggin bad [redacted] since there were two of them and the way they were held. I remember breaking so many front-lines in those A v C gridlocks just by rushing in there with knives and being primary target while the rest of my team took advantage of the distraction and broke through.
Was sooooo awesome. Course, then again, that was only possible because there wasn't any aim assist.

Those were the days.
You know, what kills me, is that all they needed to do was move the redline a bit and that map would have been awesome - didn't have to turn the entire map into Manus Plateau ._.

I don't think Lasers were around when Manus Peak had the mountain O.o;
