Special New Year map in-game now

[killen0 397]

What have I got to say about this map...

 

 

Firstly its a hug bright map. I have not experienced any lags or anything near that. Secondly I want to thank you developers for the secret passage for a good sniping spot, this new year map also has given me actually interesting part of shaft. The lazier doesn't spoil it in this map. That is a huge plus about it. Thirdly the racing part is really important and what ever team gets a shafter to the top first they have around 75% of there win. How though? The top of the map near the capture point (A) has a lot of sniping spots as well as if you have some mines you can fully block the opposite team with them, due to the fact there is only one way of coming into the top. This map is balanced in many various ways there are 3 main best places for shafting. 1 your base, you can fully block the opposite team from going up to the capture point (A) but this is really useful and great if your team, is on the top and is winning this gives you more comfort and confidence that you won't get killed. 2 The top part of the map, you can see everything down the enemies base as well as you have the eye's on the spawning place on the enemies base. 3 the secret passage well its not that secret its easy to find and is rated as the not the best position to shaft down the enemies. How to find it? Firstly head over the the capture point (A) then head over down to the side of the map and you see there are like mountain patterns turn down to your left and drive really carefully till you get till the part were your passage ends and you have to jump down. Do not jump down it results a straight self destroy, what causes you get little bit mad and have to drive all the way up to the top. The approximate time to get up there is around 1 minute. Lets see what we got down the front. While your on the top if you look down to the walls opposite the Christmas tree you can find a mountain pattern... Its a great place for you to shaft down your enemies, they can barely kill you (if they don't use shaft). Due to fact the racing part is really long way its not needed for you to require a wasp on, why? Well I've experienced (personally) that there are around 40% of shafters on the enemies side and they will just take you out, due to fact your the easiest one. The best what I can say is Viking, Dictator and in the last case Hunter or Hornet why in last case those two? Most of the modifications can just take them easily out but if you have a good paint against shaft your free to use Hornet. E.g if you use M1 Hornet+Dirty a M1 Shaft needs 1 full shoot and 1 out sniping shot, but if you have a nitro+Double protection and you use zigzag you can get mostly shot by shafts and less by Thunders, Railguns, Smokys. Also thunders, they are the most rare thing on this map, so chances of you get hitten by a thunder are nearly 0%. If your a M2 User you won't really have a M2 Paint against shaft. There is only 1 paint, Winter but its quite expensive and rare on maps. If you use it with M2 Hornet, I think it doesn't get 1 shoot by Shafts. This is my prediction due to fact I don't have and never had Winter in my garage or even in test server.

 

 

Well i think this is all to say, but I will add more stuff to this :D

So, you copied the worldoftanks racing map idea.

Erm nice map but anyone notice where gold falls yet? :3

This map is so lopsidedly leaned towards Rails and Shafts b/c you can be spawncamped... If a rail is there forget jumping down, and if a shaft is there and is drugging, you're going to get OHKOed without a paint.if you somehow survive that, other railguns can hunt you down, forcing you to start from the beginning. Using a Firebird or a Freeze is suicide,and Smoky, Hammer, and Thunder doesn't have enough effective range. The ONLY other turret that is viable is isida, and that is if you do not get spawncamped. The "racing" part is hardly difficult (unless you are DUI), and is only long and annoying. CP makes it even more unbalanced, and whoever gets their shaft artillery wins, the other team might as well quit.

Snipers and railers have a huge advantage in this map, and its so huge, and its like a deadly maze to reach the Christmas tree :P

[Loackie 269]

It's more like an annoying labyrinth where you might as well leave if you're not a wasp.

Add DM plz :(

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

Add DM plz :(

Yep, this is useless. Maybe DM would make it worthwhile to play, this set-up doesn 't.

 

Made a trip in Private: nice Map to see and nicely build, but when it comes to the real thing: crappy gameplay IMO.

The best team soon goes into camping mode and it 's settled.

 

How I miss that great Map from 2013! :(

 

Back to the much better playable normal Maps this time for me. I 'm already done.

 

Hopefully next years New Year Map will be more like the 2013 one:

more choice in Battlemodes and a more regular set up.

[creeperskelly 1,281]

Quite boring. Played for a few minutes and hated it.

[Shalamer 135]

Fun, but it's really hard to cap once a team has reached the top. Especially when they mine both entrances... :angry:  :angry:

The 2011/2012 Xmas map's were better then this, and they were just Sandbox with a Xmas tree in the middle. :lol: But the best one was in 2013, we want that one back! :P

Just stopped by to say that...

 

... the skybox is GORGEOUS! :wub:

[lukey0 27,543]

o.O the skybox has always been like the for every Xmas map, I know it looks awesome. Its about the only good thing in the map. :D

[DarthvaderjonGTR 615]

I would say the map is awesome for parkour and racing :)! The only problem is that in real matches, it gets unbalanced very easily since each team only has 1 way of entering the main point. Awesome for fun, and that's what games are for, right :) Love u devs! I love my wasp m2 now, its a blast!

 

The long ditch in the center is great for parties btw xD

Sorry Tanki, but this is the worst map I've ever played on. Battles are over early because the team that gets there first drugs and picks everyone else off before they can reach the control point. I won't be playing this lame map anymore. Huge disappointment - I loved last year's New Year's map. Please bring it back.

[ArcticCow 454]

Worst map possible.

[XTNO.1 15]

This map might be a terrible idea in terms of balanced game-play, BUT it is so much fun  :D  :D love it!

[andrius2525 5]

Thx tanki :)

[shan19 228]

Awesome :D

[lordmostafa 3,821]

How awesome ^_^

[liverpoolaum 811]

awesome guys lets get started

[ArcticCow 454]

Almost everyone hates this map.

[B_L_4_C_K_G_O_L_D 171]

pretty nice map, well pretty unbalanced too, but very fun :P

[ThouShallNot 963]

Too suitable for railguns and shafts, takes a long time to get to the top, big map with only 16 players = low kills per second = slow battle fund = no fun.
