New Map? - Discussion

[Pollux]

Ranox doesn't even have working traffic lights  xD

I actually just noticed this, it's not a dealbreaker for me though as I don't see any in a place where they'd actually be useful. It is still pretty weird.

There are one-sided windows which are very annoying

I mean yeah, but every map seems to have them nowadays (eg. V4B1 apartment windows). I don't think it's too bad as key buildings like villas and shops seem to have them all two-way. I'm sure there's some map reason for this that a mapper can explain better, could simply be performance reasons though.

Tons of props that are NOT world props and would take time in hammer to remove

Majority of the annoying props I can see (especially in shops) are world props. The only annoying ones I can find are in only one of the apartment buildings. I think the map has a good balance between props and empty buildings.

So many apartments compared to any stores

There's more than enough stores on the map as i've never seen more than four at any given time anyway.

One apartment complex does not even allow you to go on the balcony when there is clearly a door

It's a bit weird but I don't think it's that big of an issue? The balcony is super small anyway so I don't see how it'd add a lot to the apartment.

The lake is SO TINY!!   Not like the ocean is any better

The lake isn't that bad, it's not on the size of V4B1 or V5P but it's better than V2D. I think the lake is actually the exact same as pines (or well i've for sure seen it somewhere else). The beach 

The industrial is also SO TINY! Can't even do a big build there and the layout of it all is so poor. Whoever thinks the city has an "Amazing" layout needs to get their eyes checked. Because to me, the city is shit, almost like Evocity, maybe slightly better, idk.

There's two industrial sections which equal to pretty much the same as the industrial areas on any other map. You can also build massive dupes on them as the skybox is super high, so you can simply build above if you really need that much space. I'd rather have smaller areas like this compared to super low FPS with massive open areas.

The real win here would be Paralake, Rockford, or Truenorth. That's a good win for FL. Ranox would be a poor decision for FL, that's my opinion

Truenorth is WAY too big for FL (especially since people seem to like smaller maps) and has its own issues. Rockford is also quite big, I don't see this working on FL at all either. I've never played Paralake, so I don't have a clue there.
