What is Pahanu?

Some also say it is a Gears map that isn’t liked very much due to its different style.

I read this and learned absolutely nothing.

I’m quite open for different style. Its just that it is completely childish. Naive. Some jungle textures and some blocks and …trees? planted on random places.

There is nothing interesting or cool or whatever and it is never voted. And when it is voted 4 people leave instantly (as opposed to two leavers over the game in normal games haha).

Pahanu is a Hawaiian term meaning puss-y.

Ex) Met this girl, gonna get me some pahanu tonight.

If I never see Blood Drive again it’ll be too soon. It’s a map from the late 00’s and it needs to stay there. We’re in 2020. Wide open maps with the least amount of camping spots possible should be the goal.

Subjective. The jungle setting and large dinosaur-esque skeletons give a very subtle growth to the lore from a story standpoint. Which is mainly what I look for in the maps. As backwards as it may be.

What is Pahanu!? TC don’t me! Don’t me! No more!

It’s like someone vomited in a swamp and arranged the chunks haphazardly.

A mess from drop.

A mess.

My goodness, my exact reaction the first time I saw this map… The map I hate the most in this game!

Destined not to be a classic.

Its a trash map. Just like Exibit

I enjoy it. Pull out your lancerz!!

Pahanu is Greatness! Pahanu is Peace! Pahanu is Heaven! :innocent:

I think my " funny threads" are more intellectual at some point .

I enjoy it for what it is…
A forced hand to change the way most players play the game for a single match.

It’s fun to switch it up every once in a while. It’s far from my favorite map, but certainly not as bad as some people say it is.

Also, when you look at where the cover is placed, and the angles and lines of sight it creates, you can see it’s actually a map that had a lot of thought put into it.

You got a point.

There is something hiding in that map. It could be really nice if it just was …better.

Give me an example of a worse map than Pahanu :facepunch:

everything about it; the size, the awful layout (no real power positions, which just makes the map a campers wet dream) and even the weapons themselves are atrocious (no sniper? brilliant stuff TC)

I made a thread where I discussed at length why I thought it was such a horrid map, and even gave suggestions for TC in terms of how to improve it, it can be found here.

The sad thing about Pahanu isn’t necessarily how awful it is, its that TC could’ve made a much much better map in way less time, I’m guessing that because of the size of Pahanu alone (which means they need to do more texture work and extends playtesting) so we could’ve gotten another ballin map like Allfathers, instead we got Trashanu.
