I like this map, but I've noticed that in every single match I've played there, we end up surrounded by enemies.

Nobody seems to care about spawns, or watching each other's backs. Everybody focus on "holding the upper area", without considering how easy it is to lose it. Allow me to explain with the help of a crudely drawn map.

I myself try to begin each round on the pillar room at the upper-right side. I'm not sure if it's a good place. Sometimes, the enemy spawns right behind me. I didn't know they could spawn with a player standing so close.

But anyway, my point is: If you really want to hold the upper area, and take advantage of that oh so tempting sniper's balcony, somebody will have to stay behind and watch that room. Keep it in mind, specially in silver and gold.

PS: I did not mark ALL the spawn points, just the ones relevant to my point. I don't think I know where the spawn are in the lower area...

 I really quite like the topdown layout drawing of the level, nice job. :)There are several more spawnpoints than you've pointed out (I went ahead and checked after seeing your drawings), but yes, you want to make sure you don't ignore the labs behind the balcony, lest you want to be surprised.

Jos.  It would be AWESOME if BW had something like that in the "extras" menu or something so people can give a little perspective of the maps, especially new ones when they come out ...*Cough**EARTH DLC*...cough...cough...sorry, I got a little speculation in my throat.


I'm actually happy that we don't explain everything right from the word go as far as multiplayer level design is concerned. Half the fun (for me, anyway) when I see a new level in a game is figuring out what makes it tick, what strategies are viable, and what to look out for. Explaining it all away in a video or a post with pictures would ruin that aspect of things, I think.

Also, you should get that checked before it develops into lots of speculation.

@Jos since we have you here in this thread (thx for stoping by, btw! :) - is the exctraction issue on Jade intended? Meaning, if you're in cover you won't get extracted. Or is this a bug that hopefully gets fixed in an upcoming patch?


I keep a constant eye on the MP section of the forums, and read pretty much anything that directly relates to any levels. Always interested to read people's thoughts on levels (especially when they're critical opinions), so I weighed in on this one. :)
As far as the extraction's concerned, we're looking into it.
