Manus Peak
Charlie side hill is the most obnoxious geological feature in this game. Its on a nice steep ridge so its virtually impossible to assault, and your only hope of getting the enemy is going around that one little road, which puts you in the redline before you even get around the corner. As if thats not obnoxious enough, the MMC is parked practically right on top of it so assaulting it with dropships is a mess. MCC missiles and MCCs hurt.
And, thanks to the little lip ridge all along the top of it, it makes a perfect location to assault dropships, as well as to stay safe from everything beneath. That map has a very clear advantage on C side thanks to this, and often makes calling out any kind of vehicle on the opposite side a nightmare

Dust maps have never been known for overwhelming "fairness", and this one is about the worst. At least make the side with the high ground have to travel further or something....

Get your damn sniper fit and murder them ffs.
Commando A/1-Series, approach with caution.
Or just run away screaming.
It is not advised to attack unless in Sentinel.

It's a good map for infantry though.
Prominent features are short walking distances and mixed medium to long range fighting opportunities between the objectives. If B has an urban socket this map can be lots of fun.
I've seen wonderful fights happen between all three sockets. Can't say that about many maps.
That ledge near C is terrible though. I agree with you there. They need to give it the same treatment they already did with the other side. Remember how everyone used to park their railtanks at the peak of the mountain there and hide behind a rock at any sight of trouble? I'm very glad it went away. These days using the plateau near A and B is a strategic choice, not the obviously best thing to do. |

Not quite sure how that helps against rail tanks on the ridge...

Hooo no man. Manus peak is quite good IMO.
I think you forgot Fracture Road
This map is the crapiest/most boring map in the entire game! There are snipers everywhere, rooftop camping is FORCED if you want to win (in Dom), you must cross the whole map to find enemies (in AMB), and you spend 3hours to go from one point to another (in Skirm). Ho and the map design sucks.
Manus peak isn't so bad in the end x) |

I think you must be mistaking which map is Fracture Road...it's one of the few where almost everything in the game can be useful.
