Title: Bocage - Unwarranted Change
Post by: lionel23 on February 17, 2011, 04:10:37 pm
Okay, just played a game on Bocage and seriously, who was the genius that decided to fence in almost the entire north right side of the map?  It's impossible to push ATGs through the town (due to short walls and fence) and the new fence on the right practically prevents you from maneuvering ATGs into any of the middle sectors without significant pathing and bottleneck issues, which means the only way to get ATGs is the extreme left and right sides of the map if you're the top team.  If you're the bottom team, you have no fences impeding your way into the center fields!

Groundfire says its been changed since a long time with the new additions, and maybe I'm just noticing this now, but it doesn't seem that way.  Bring the old version back.

Just played this and my ATG spent more than a minute attempting to navigate through the opening as well as my allies ATG, and then another minute to run away while light vehicles proceeded to rape with impunity from their side of the map, darting through the middle and right side knowing ATGs cant close in.

Attached is the screenshot of the 'new' change.

Look, the updated Bocage went into effect last year on Febuary 3rd 2010. It has not been touched since then. The update was made over a year ago, it is not new.

Personally i dont care either way if Leo goes in and puts some holes in the fences but ffs, next time before you rage quit over some stupid fences, try attack grounding with your zooks to blow holes in the sections so you dont waste anyone else's time.

I suppose this new version doesn't have indestructible tank traps though?

Wtf, where did this random fence come from? No wonder why my ATG's have such a hard time on these maps.

I don't remember it being like that. Either way it is just stupid and needs to be fixed.

Not that big of a problem, I mean usually you have at least one ATG, bazooka or vehicle that can crush it and if not you then someone else on your team is sure to have it. But yeah it's a bit unnecessary I guess.

Heh thing is if you don't have any of those on your team other than say an ATG, which you really need to fight say an early tank or something.  We were 3 infantry-based players, no TR so no reasons to really field lots of zooks, and none of us opened with a vehicle of any sorts, which made getting through that fence pretty tough while bottlenecking our ATGs.

Men cant crush fences, so what makes you think a men crew AT weapon can crush a fence?  ;D

In men of war, the fences also tend to kill the crew as they crush it....
