How are the new maps?

[Maizel]

My beta stopped working properly ever since the update so I'm obliged to ask.

How are the new maps? How does it cater to different kinds of players? How are the lay outs? What are the tactical options like?, what are their sizes like?


Thanks & Discuss!

They are big and nice to play on i love the grain factory (i think it is called) as it has alot of vertical fighting, something i have been missing in games recently

Both maps are really fun and varied, both have distance shooting and close quarters so all classes are useful and fun.

Oh yeah, forgot one! Red october is amazing but I have not played it to much. Barracks has an awesome mode, nighttime in a city is just great. Grainelevator is one of those map I've been looking forward to, it's really fun with vertical combat, to bad people don't understand that you have to take the bottom floor and then move up, instead they just goof around the topfloor and stuff.

Grain Elevator and Red October are amazing! I really love them. They give a real "battlefield" ( I don't mean the game-series^^) feeling. They are really atmospheric, look great & play great! Really like them

Barracks is very different. But.. i like it! It won't be one of my favorite maps, but I think its good fun sometimes!

Haven't played much of Red October yet. Barracks is fun on TE, haven't played CD on it. CD on Red October is fun but I'm still bad at it since CD requires heavy map knowledge.

I'm still undecided about Grain Elevator, the map is pretty confusing and you can basically go everywhere thanks to all the stairwells/ladders, so figuring out where the "front line" is gets difficult. In addition the snipey nature of the game (thanks to laser bolts/semis) means you get killed coming out of spawn a lot. I dunno, I'm on the fence about the map, maybe it will change once people get to know it.

Grain Elevator and Barracks I liked. Not really sure about Red October atm.

Killzone 2 and 3 has these kinds of maps. Only problem its on the PS3 and not KB/Mouse compatible

Love all three, Factory is a bit underplayed.. but its also too much of a BC2 style "tunnel" map so idk.
Grain Elevator is best of all 6 maps imo, really "innovative", plays good and is great for all types of weapons.

 

[Gwaihir]

grain is cool,. but the two others make my pc crash and burn

 

[OldRavenNL]

I love red october factory.. nice big.. great atmosphere.
Grain elevator is also really nice.. but pretty hard to even reach the elevator as axis.
Haven't played barracks much yet. So still undecided.

 

[Keith Moons Liver]

I like them all better than the first batch of maps.

I had the same problem then switched my shadows from low to medium quality
seems to have fixed it

All three maps are sure to be classics I was worried coming to ro2 that the maps wouldn't stack up to the tried and true ro1 maps.This just isn't the case all the new maps have been well designed.Map making is an art and TWI shows off their skills once again.

The grain elevator sure seems like a nice map and I'd love to have some good games with it but am I the only one who thinks it favors the Allies a lot? I mean it should be as easy to defend as attack with the 50:50 reinforcements, right? In the last match the axis had 100 less reinforcements when the round ended and axis just got sniped right next to the spawn area. Looks like a nice map but the gameplay as axis is just horrible.

 

[DiedTrying]

It seems like any server worth joining is playing barracks...some without any other maps on rotation.

So I haven't played grain elevator or ROF much yet.

 

[Makeshift]

Can't get enough of Red October Factory. That map is just simply awesome.

 

[negocromn]

red october is amazing and barracks is pretty good

still undecided about grain tho, both times I played there was no real front and not much objective capturing, allies spawn camped axis and axis rushed by the side to allies spawn.

They much better then that danzig and fallen fighter maps.

 

[Niklas]

My favorite is factory but sadly 90% off all axis players don't seem to understand the Cap zones on grain Elevator . they all Rush in leaving the first Cap behind

Well I'm not a veteran or anything to ro2 but so far I love all of them. The grain elevator is a bit..er..skinny? What it lacks in width and length it gains in height though, which is a neat mixup to what we already have. Barracks is obviously awesome, looots of strategy I can see bubbling up in that map due to the sheer number of different ways to get into the different zones. I haven't really played the third one I don't think though.
