A spell was cast and the sky turned red, The angels heart froze to ice
The blackness that falls is coming to stay, Under the snow lies angels so cold
I don't hate the map as such, it's a decent map. I'm merely annoyed that once again the whole thing could've been made much better and balanced for the average game by simply giving the defenders a tad more to do and relieving the attackers by not forcing them to hold every single objective when the timer runs out.
if you had played the mod, you would have noticed a few changes directed at exactly that.
1) the bridgehead used to be 1 objective.
2) the allies used to have no sniper or fire support positions on their side of the bridge.
3) there used to be only 2 routes, which were the bridges. now there is a covered boat between the two bridges, allowing a 3rd, much safer route.
4) you used to not be able to capture the bridgehead from behind the embankment wall, which you can do now.
Basically, the axis have more to defend, the allies have not only more options, but more opportunities for fire support and a way to capture the objective without getting out of cover.
Seriously, I would call your complaints somewhat "untutored." You cant knock the devs for not making the map easier when you dont have the slightest clue about how the map was before and how much they did to make it easier for the allies.
Ugh, I've been playing this game long enough to know the old Danzig so don't lecture me on that. And don't tell me what I'm qualified to critizise. Without wanting to start a bragging contest I played RO since 1.1 so I've pretty much seen all maps.
a) the bridgehead argument goes both ways: capturing the two bridgeheads doesn't seem that much easier than capturing only one like in the mod version. And you need two ojectves for the progressive spawn point now.
b) the 88s were a lot easier to capture than the command center is. But I'm still happy they change it because it's not as bad of a chokepoint now as it was then. But it's not easier to capture or hold it than before.
2) the allies used to have no sniper or fire support positions on their side of the bridge.
Here's a video of old mod Danzig, if anyone wants to compare
