It must be really hard to tell who all my atls are, since Terminators do not need sleep...
But back to Condor. I never have too much of hard time with it in Gold pugs. Maps like the Hydra & Jade are much harder when playing pug lottery. And speaking of Hydra, half that map only makes sense as a Volus if you're a fan of soft blankets.
Good cover. Great for sniping

On topic,I have nothing against Condor.
Nice to play with you too.
The real problem with me and Condor is the supply frequency. It's so hard to find a filled ammo box. And grenades? Never seen them since 2185.
Condor would be good if it wasn't so bad. Awful ammo boxes, cover that doesn't cover, and the most instances of invisible enemies/teammates out of any other map. Add in the myriad of times that me or my teammates have not been able to load into the map, and you have a bad map.
The map is as big as Giant. How come nobody can find any soft blankets? The only area with little soft blankets is that one hack area (which is enough away from the worst in the game) & running to the top of the hill from that area. And ProTop; elevation differences can be used for soft blankets too. Combine that with the holes in most of this maps hard blankets, and you're set. So get cozy, warm, and dakka dakka away.
Not connecting to Condor has always been lag related in my experiences. Meaning, you're better off not connecting. And Condor is not the only victim for this either. Nor does it happen often (unless maybe your connection sucks. Then deal with it or upgrade. This is the future).
Same as above for invisible teammates.
Ammo boxes are only an issue on Platinum. Like many play that. And like all Platinum ammo boxes don't suck. So blame BioWare for making Platinum overall lame instead and/or stop picking the Harrier if you can't handle it.
So now with the trivial things out of the way, can we for once talk about the meat of Condor; aka; map design, variety/replayability and how kit/setup friendly it is.
Condor might be OK for a team of friends with voice chat, but for PUGs (esp. plat PUGs), it is pretty much undeniable that Condor is miserable. This is most true vs. Geth. Do you disagree?
^ I usually only play Platinum with friends. No chat required. And outside of running more for ammo, I didn't notice the difficulty spike on Condor Platinum. Mostly because it's so large and not near as open as many like to believe. A good example of an open map for me is London (it being so flat contributes to it), especially when you look at it from a close quarter/running out in the open kit. ie. London's most open areas only contain hard blankets (aka, the bane of CQ kits). Yet everyone only complains that Condor is the capital of hard blankets.
Condor was not done well, nor functions well. Easy enough to dislike it.
^ Good reason. How did I not see it before?
My last plat game on Condor ended horribly. It spawned two Primes and two Ravagers in clear view of the drone start location right when we activated it. Whole team was downed in about five seconds. Anyone who gelled was smacked right back down. Mission scrubbed.Condor might be OK for a team of friends with voice chat, but for PUGs (esp. plat PUGs), it is pretty much undeniable that Condor is miserable. This is most true vs. Geth.

Condor just never really caught on.

You welcome.
Let me tell you a tragic love story.
There was this lovely little ranch in the middle of nowhere. There, the rancher's beautiful daughter found joy in creating various forms with threads, made out of biodegradable material. She called them Bio-Wares. It was more than a hobby for her. It was her passion. By the way, her name was ... Bessie Anne.
Well, her father, the environment-loving man that he was, needed to put up a new fence to contain the beautiful and buxom cows and studly horses he tended to, so he wanted to hire someone who was also environmentally friendly. He heard of a man who did this for a living, but used natural materials to create his own posts, which were not wood based. The fence builder's name was... Melvin. He never went to church, so people used to call him Full of Sin Melvin. The rancher decided to hire him. What was the worst that could happen?
The instant Melvin saw Bessie Anne, he fell in love. He did everything he could to get Bessie Anne's attention all the time. He would act out, ask pointless questions, and he basically let drivel pour from his mouth like water through a cracked dam, just to spend as much time with her as possible. He'd do cartwheels, ask her why she liked certain colors, why she didn't like others, what kind of amps she liked to use... on her guitar, why one amp was better than the other, what powers she liked best (as in, Austin Powers movie), and so on and so forth. He had even told her about the strange fetishes he was into. You see, he liked to collect neurotoxins and put them into the posts he erected, which, it turns out, were in fact not made of wood. He actually created a process to shape, harden, and further strengthen feces, which involved the injection of neurotoxin (it started out as a fetish, but quickly turned into a career. Good show, Melvin!). Basically, he made it his job to create mind numbing sh*t posts all day, everyday.
Bessie Anne had grown increasingly uncomfortable with Melvin and his endless questions and odd comments, but finding out about his posts was basically the nail in the coffin for the poor guy. She started to avoid him because of how uncomfortable he made her feel. She'd hide out in the basement, try to not make a sound, and even stopped her love of crafting with threads into Bio-Ware forms in fear that she'd make a noise, allowing him to find her. She became a prisoner in her own home.
When Melvin finally tracked her down, with tears in his eyes, he asked her what was the matter, why she didn't love him, why she couldn't see how much he loved her, what map was her favorite (Google vs MapQuest, etc), if she liked the hairier (guys), what shotgun would be best to use, what features she liked most of Reynolds Warp, if she had ever visited his Instagram, etc etc etc.
She screamed. It was all she could do. Then she packed her bags and left the ranch. She told him that it wasn't him, it was the ranch. She was good-natured to the core and didn't want to hurt his feelings, or destroy his love of creating mind numbing sh*t posts, as she realized that it was as much of a love for him as the Bio-Ware forms were for her (also, he would be gone for hours at a time to create them, which was nice). She left forever.
The point is, sometimes it really isn't the location. It's just you.
*sniff* That was a beautiful story, Jack. I wish I could give you a hundred more likes for it.

Here is a fine example of Condor:
Host was a Fury and we get reapers Condor, playing GI/widow-exectioner
HIt scan weapons dont hit
I saw my first ghosts on Condor, Brutes sometimes marauders showed up at random times as a lighter shade of red, nothing could harm them, then all of a sudden be gone and show up in other -places ( not spawn locations)
Banshees teleport further than normal
host lost connection at 30sec left in W11
a SI with particle rifle never used proxy mins or cloak

Condor should be deleted from game
