I'm beginning to miss the Old Manus peak. It was the first map I played, way back when the Starter fits had the appropriate dropsuit with it. Back when the swarms had dumbfire. Back when we had camera scopes.
I'm beginning to miss having objective C up on the balcony and having the other two objectives in close proximity and constant battle.
Anyone else just starting to feel that the old Manus Peak had some points that the new one misses?
The new Manus Peak is however a good map. |

Some Things About Old Manus:
+Southern Supply Depots were in good places.
+It wasn't so easy to dominate the Balcony Objective (my memory fades, someone said B) with an HAV.
+Good mix of open areas and obstacles in the "bowl"
-Northern Supply depots completely favored the Northern team
-South MCC Snipers
-South MCC=/= redzone
+LAVs could avoid swarms
+Intense battles
+Legitimate tactics had to be used, running and gunning = death
- It was too small for a DS
+The building complex under skyscraper was good, like a little village
+The Infrastructure to the northwest was good for getting vehicles repaired.
+ Topography and road systems kept things interesting
'Future' Manus Peak needs:
- Less "dense" installations+infrastructure. Current Manus peak has all infrastructure and installations bunched up at currently B & C and redzones. The Infrastructure needs to be arranged so that it can be between and just outside of Objectives, giving interest to battles and tactics.
- Less field of vision in the bowl. In old Manus Peak, if you stood on the Balcony, you could only see people fighting in the roads. As of now, standing from that same balcony, you can see too much of the action, there aren't enough obstructions to add mystery. I never ask myself in current Manus Peak "What's going on over there?" like I would in old Manus.
- CRUs and Depots need to leave objectives. It's kind of pointless to have two spawn points next to eachother if they're friendly. Sure an enemy can hack it and heat things up at the objective, but then it can be quickly controlled, too quickly. In order to elongate duration of conflicts, perhaps move the CRUs and supply depots further from Objectives so it takes a bit of fighting and tactics to get it back, since resources won't be scrunched closely.

http://web.ccpgamescdn.com/dust/img/forums/manuspeak_skirmish.jpg
So on the grid, would we be looking at 'Old Manus' Village where C currently is again (E4)?
Or is it going to be placed in sector D4?
EDIT: I didn't quite catch the 'Ambush' part to it...but you know what would go great with skirmish.....the ol' village. |

I wouldn't say infrastructure equates to interesting things though. We need more Geographical features. Arches, canyons, ravines, riverbeds, etc. |

I have been discussing with the art team and some of the tech people here to try and get us to pull some of this stuff off in future releases. I believe we are capable of doing it. We just need to plan for it and make it happen. I can not guarantee it will happen though. However, I will be pushing for it myself and have been over the past couple of weeks.
At least you're trying! Favorite Dev ^ Right there^ |

So how probable is it that the geographical update work made/will make it through for Uprising? On a scale of  to  |
