No more solo survival maps ?

[olivierlupin]

Hello there, is that so difficult to publish new survival solo maps ? That's the main mode i'm playing... and i've done them all and won all the gold medals. We want more ! Thanks.

At the very least, every campaign mission should have had a Survival map based off of it. That mode is the only mode my friends and I enjoy, and it's really weak how it seems like an afterthought to keep adding to it.
A paltry 3 maps at launch and only 2 new ones over the course of an entire year = 👎

Bad, if true... At the very least, I hope that stick with it until they fix the Survival A. I. to be less "rush-centric" / lose its Dr. X ability for finding players; as well as an option to remove those awful "detective vision" crutches for the remaining enemies.

Seems to me that they put in the time and effort to make the maps really work. I'd like more maps too but I'd also have to say that the current set of maps is really good and suits the mode really well. Only one I don't really like is Amongst the Rubble, it's just too dark and ends up being annoying instead of as fun as the other maps. Yeah Pest Control is too easy but it's a good training level for newbies. Prime Real Estate is a great sniper's paradise. Tide of War is a great mix of scenarios requiring different tactics. Unwanted Guests is for experts only, and punishes newbies who don't learn from the vets.

I would like one or two more maps but I also don't want to see a bunch of maps that feel unpolished and thrown together and either too easy or too annoying to play.

I agree on all points although each map can still have its share of bugs.
We've had vehicles and soldiers get stuck behind buildings, and another occurrence when our enemy count is 10-15 left yet no more enemies are anywhere on the map on Amongst the Rubble, and tanks get frozen out of bounds on Prime Real Estate and Unwanted Guest to a point where if we don't have flares, we're done and can't continue.

Still, it's a woefully overlooked mode by Rebellion, and I see no reason why they couldn't add at least two more maps based on Secret Weapons and War Factory.

Who knows, maybe they'll surprise us with the final update for the current season.

Yeah that is something I meant to mention, it's already bad enough that now and then enemies won't spawn properly and get stuck off the map, if they rushed out maps and didn't properly test them then this would happen a lot more.

Secret Weapons would make for a good outdoors forest map but I wouldn't want it to be a night map, it's just too annoying because the AI would still be able to see everything but players' vision would be limited. If they wanted they could make it an option where you could choose day, night, rainy/dry weather etc. War Factory is my least favorite campaign map in the game, maybe it would be ok in the central area but otherwise it's pretty meh.

I'd actually like that -- the challenge, that is. You can equip a night vision scope...

Liberation and Festung Guernsey would be the best for new maps, or Wolf Mountain. Liberation would be a nice town survival map and Festung Guernsey would be good for hilly sniping.

When the game was released, the maps were great, somewhere along the line the design team must of changed because the maps and enemies on the map dropped real bad, the quality now is just poor. Its sad, I had high hopes for SE5 since the first one came out. Now its just getting worse.

[Shoah Kahn]

They should really have added, at least, one -- preferably, two -- Survival maps for the four DLC maps available. If they drop more DLC maps, Survival maps really must come with... Two more maps would round out the suite well enough. As is, it's neglecting one of the core replayable aspects of the game.

[BastardSword]

They are avoiding making survival or multiplayers part of the paid DLC because they know that the majority of players don't get the overpriced DLC, and they wouldn't want the community split into multiple shrinking groups.

Tide of War is the second best map, after Unwanted Guests. Pest Control is too easy and simplistic, and Prime Real Estate is too easy as well if you know how to snipe.
