all i have to say is lowlands or rampant .. by far the best maps ever in xmp many routes to take. not to much energy(one enclosed other seaside exposed). lots of deploys allowing the battle for ground be intresting. (well sorta lots of deploys) and both the bases are the same making it fair for defensive strats and not only that a player doesnt fall asleep tryin to get to the other base or to backup up teammate or artifact carrier ... and most important of all FPS!!!!! a map with bad fps isnt worth playing in my opinion
1. FPS!
2. good balance
3. cover but not to much like rolling hills or something (the node needs cover)
4. allow the characters in the map to depend on eachothers abilities health,ammo,repairs .. but shields and health stations slightly away from the node is awesome . no ammo! (stops deployable spamming)
5. only a few gens 2 or 4
6. awesome stationary guns/turrets also make the map fun (but not over kill) always liked the carnival turrets hehe
