Now on the line for testing the Asian set map “Airport”. As a result of past tests, changes have been to them to improve the gameplay and make battles more comfortable. You may notice the Airport the map was named after has been removed.

That looks MUCH better than the first version of this map.
– The center water hazard looks like it can be crossed and it doesn’t cover the entire center 20% of the map
– The path around the edge has more access points and has more terrain around which you can fight
– There are more elevation characteristics and bushes that will provide hard cover and soft concealment (recognizing that bushes weren’t shown in the previous video)
– More of the map area is usable – less water around the edges of the map and smaller mountains
But I may have missed something… where is the airport after which this map was named?!?
Edit my last point… there are 7 grid squares on the northeast side of the map that aren’t usable and at least 7 grid squares on the west side that also aren’t usable due to either water or woods… can we PLEASE make maps that have larger usable space?
I hope that this map is at least 1000 x 1000 meters… but I’d like to hope for more maps the size of Grand Battle maps.
I think you should look at the actual usable area and the situation instead of the squareness of a map. The south seems fine to me although I agree the north east could use some/way more space for meds and lights to play in, shielded from kemping TD’s.
This actually looks like a nice map. At least its new. wonder if we will ever see it in game?
This reminds me of the now removed Hidden Village map
Srsly I hope WG can put all removed maps back into Training Rooms, in which gameplay isnt a concern at all.
I think its more like a Pearl River, with the mountain at the center (for heavies) and the zone in the top right corner (for TDs and/or mediums)
Agent Orange has yet to arrive to fuck over this nice Map (WG cannot resist bush removal
Unbalanced map. The team that will have the better light/meds and better players in them will win every time. It’s like Mines, you get the Hill you have full map controll.
With that hill in the south west I would call this Mines v.2. And that’s fine. Keep current mines for the tiers below 6 or 7 and give the big boys this map to play on.
This reminds me on map in AW.
