Well I’m not qualified to speak for PvP so I just mentioned how I view the map. And of course the enemies are gonna take ages to get to you if you set up on a spawn end of the map. Same thing would happen on Dam if you camped out at the starting spawn or the one opposite to that. Which did provide a Sniper one hell of a shooting gallery if you did. Although I’m not sure if that map is quite the same huge size as Pahanu(I wonder if it would have done more well if TCs so-called presence of vision-obscuring fauna was more than just static bones of some long dead giant animal that also don’t actually really do anything to obscure line of sight across nearly every corner of the map).
But I do agree that Op 4 should be/have something that leaves more of an impression. When TC can make maps like Dawn, Diner and Allfathers Arena, it sure isn’t because they’re absolutely terrible at making maps that we get the occasional distinctly average or bad one. A new great map by itself wouldn’t be enough though given the current state of most things(although in all fairness, any map that was not or hasn’t been remade in Gears 4 is basically new to me).
