FreeFall... The only stock map that is "love it or hate it". But even if you're in the "hate it" crowd, you can't deny that FreeFall is special, and it's a part of XMP that cannot be taken out.
So as part of the XMP resurrection - FreeFall Returns!
This time, I try to make it play more like a normal map, yet retain as much of the original map as I can. First up: no more low grav! I changed the gravity back to normal level. Also the mutator is removed, so you do get fall damage.
Now you need a way to get around, so I installed a network of walkways. On these walkways you can literally walk from DP to Arti to Gen and back and again... No more falling, unless you try something stupid, and fail...
Now you can play the map like a normal map, with a FreeFall taste. It's still very much a Ranger map, with lots of sniping opportunities. Gunners can really take shortcuts with the conc jump, but watch where you land... Techs are most effective on blocking all those narrow paths, so brush up on your Pac-man strategies.
Batman Returns. Superman Returns. Just as you thought it was all over - FreeFall Returns!
