Currently Manus Peak is very frustrating. It may be working as is designed but if that's true i'd just like to know. Manus Peak seems like it was designed to be sort of like a big pool or toliet. I know it's inside a valley, but c'mon. The area is surrounded by large and very accessible mountains where snipers can perch and take shots at anyone in the valley. In Ambush this isn't such a big deal as avoiding snipers isn't that difficult. In skirmish one, or many Snipers that are positioned correctly can watch NULL Cannons [C] and [B] with relative ease and snipe anyone who tries to take them. In some cases the opposition even calles in a Tank to perch up in the cliffs and fire down on those points. These however have at least some degree of fairness to the fact that I have somewhere i can go to avoid these bombardments. Be it the MCC or Redline or whatever. There is usually some degree of safety.
This, however, is not the case for Dropships. There is hardly any cover from a Dropship shooting down at you from the air. Your best bet is to circle around one of the spires and hope that the pilot didn't see you and goes away before his gunner can shoot you down. Even then the splash damage on missle turrets might still get you if the pilot is a good enough shot. Dropships are in Manus Peak what Orbital Strikes are everywhere else. Once it see's you your only chance of survival is to get extremely lucky. I've even been shot by a dropship that flew into our Redline as i was running up to our Supply Depot and promplty shot me.
Now, i'm all for a Dropship Pilot and his Gunners doing his thing. But when you don't have any choice but to either-
Not do anything
Die
Take your chances (in which the most likely outcome is still death)
or
Spec into Anti-Vehicle Weapons (which are costly, require alot of SP, and lets face it, broken)
Then i can't help but feel something needs to be done about it.
Keep the faith. |

Just zoom out all the way and you'll find the map has plenty of cover... In other places. |

I am neither a vehicle pilot or sniper and greatly enjoy the map for the very reasons you dislike it. It is a challenge. |
