I played this 5v5 strongholds last night but more people joined i believe. The map looks great, but i sincerely didnt like the gameplay.



The bottom acts more as an area just for respawning and traveling while all the fighting was only on the second level. Spawning was everywhere so there was no concept of where the enemies would come from which really made it hard to defend or capture a stronghold when all you have for protection is a set of pillars. You can also throw nades into the strongholds from pretty much any location.



The cliff-side with the mancannon spawns players while youre capture the middle stronghold, which if you are then your safest location would be behind those four pillars. If you step out to defend yourself from those coming up though youre open to shots from everywhere, so you just have to try and hide in the middle of the pillars instead of fighting.



Id suggest dropping the middle stronghold a level and changing the cover all around in a way where people can use it effectively, rather than playing ring around the rosie to avoid dying every time. Make cover changes in a way where you can only nade and fire into a stronghold from select angles, rather than from anywhere.



Keep up the work. Im down for more customs, but only if youre running 4v4. I dont like the btb/squad stuff.
