CabbageMechanic: Hey Tankers,
Have some info on the latest HD map updates for you. Soon the Super Test server will be receiving updated versions of Steppes, Ruinberg, and Fisherman's Bay to test some of the changes to the maps. As some of you know, part of the HD map updates for the old maps involve some significant changes to their layouts to improve and innovate the gameplay on them. We want to take the opportunity to improve the maps as we upgrade them to HD quality.
Steppes:
This isn't the first time we have tested Steppes, but we now have an updated version incorporating lots of improvements from feedback from the previous round of testing. We've made changes that will improve the balance of the map, give some more opportunities for early long-range snapshots, adding some more opportunities to play from camouflage/concealment, and improve the East flank to make it more playable for both sides.
Ruinberg: First look at the updated version - some significant balance changes have been made alongside the updated visuals. Currently the team from the Northern base has some slight advantages and wins a bit more often, we are making some changes including adding a new playable position from the Southern side in G1 so they can be slightly more secure in their efforts to withstand opponents. This position will offer some nice shot opportunities into F2 and F3.
Fisherman's Bay:
Another first look, we are looking to improve the gameplay of the central part of the map and make the Western side more suitable for both teams. New intermediate cover in contestable position and some cleaned up sight lines will create more opportunities to support fights occurring in the middle.
Please note that these are far from finished products and will likely be updated again before seeing the live server. In addition, I have received feedback from several of you that these newer videos aren't offering a great look at the layout changes - I have submitted that feedback to the team.
Let us know what you think!
