Lol.
My favorite is when you're disabling and cloaked and they stand right beside you so you take splash damage and have all the aggro as soon as cloak breaks.
That's when I get on the mic and say GO AWAY
input levels be damned i make SURE they heard me
In fact I quite like London, both pug behaviour and spawn locations are highly predictable. 4 devices can be PITA, but there are other maps with PITA 4 devices so that is not unique.
This. It's my go to spot when things start to get hairy.
Admittedly I occasionally screw myself over with dumb revive attempts. Once me & a PUG can hold a spot like that down, I should be more resolute with my position (ala "if your precious balcony sniping gets u killed...well, it's dirtnap for u")
London to me is a bit like reverse Condor: drearily boring visually, but somewhat interesting from a gameplay point of view. Its cover is "a bit" unintuitive (ie. knowing what exactly prevents LOS requires... experience); but otherwise I find it plays well against the grain of other maps. The balcony is a nice sniping spot, but is open to counterfire, and lacks a conveniently placed ammo box; bunkering down is a losing proposition almost everywhere, pushing players to stay on the move; in exchange, most of the edges of the map offer nice cover to help smart teams (or at least individuals...) to move around. Agreed with others however that it doesn't take much for Barney to start in London 
I hate London too.
It's so f*cking noisy and dirty, for starters. Driving there, between the insanely narrow streets, suicidal pedestrians, idiot cyclists, idiot other drivers and the congestion charge is ridiculous. Rent is through the roof and getting on the property ladder...well unless you have your own bank, forget about it. It's also nearly impossible to get a decent coffee in this city without going into your overdraft.
Wait, what are we talking about?
I love London hacks, especially the one in the center.
London's terrible. There's no cover and the cover that there is doesn't work half the time, but at least it has generous grenade boxes, so if I roll it with a grenade character I can just spam my way to victory and get it over with quickly. Can't say the same of Condor.

Yowza.
That's up there with map-wide Wing Street delivery objectives on Rio.
London's hacks provide a great opportunity for trolling though.

Well, it was just a quick doodle the artist made before breakfast... usually his stuff is a lot better.
Give him 2 hours and you get this:
... and that still isn't the best he can do.

My friends an I had 3 escort drone objectives in one game on Rio. The ultimate troll drone.

More worried about the lazy eye she has in that picture. Garrus could probably straighten that out with some clawhammer calibrations to the head though.
Palaven's moon. Turian's home park. The one with the parked turian ships..... if it still doesn't ring a bell, perhaps google can be your friend.
Wasn't that the moon with all the Garruses on it in SP?
Just read all the posts in this topic, and really wish when BSN discusses maps, they stop basing what their fave maps are based mostly on how difficult they find it (ie. folks generally like maps that are easy and hate maps that are hard). When it should be about how the maps synergize with various kits, setups, weapons, team play, spawn locations, replay value, etc. Because eventually all maps loss heir difficulty as you get better anyway.
As I've stated, I hate London because it's too basic and boring. Like they just took that NPC hub section from single player and added a balcony so the stage has one part on a different elevation, add a bunch of crap to fill up it's simple "+" symbol shape, and that's that. Nothing like the best maps in the game that are Ghost, Condor & Goddess.
About Rio, anyone else wish the middle section upstairs was accessible? Not sure how it would work out gameplay wise (maybe remove the whole section from the middle to the LZ?) and no way to know without testing it, but when I first seen this map I always wished I could reach up there.
Condor is the worst map imo, lots of bugs with cover not working and unless you play as a sniper it's a bit to large in size. Getting Condor as the Juggernaut in a U/U/P can be painfull, takes forever to move around the map with him.
Why move around when you can Puggernaut from right in the middle and mow down everything with your Spitfire X?
Me too. British people are gross.

Mind the gap between the train and the platform!

Congestion charge? Pffffft! I've only accidentally had to pay it once.
^That's why the next Mako is going to be a hybrid.
Retour en haut
