Resort Is The Worst Map

[BLOOD ASYLUM]

It's hard to believe there is a 24/7 server for it, and that people will vote for it as much as they can. I cannot think of a more boring experience in this game. Unsure why it is popular, but I'd like to see it in less rotations for sure.

It's popular because it's a beach map, an environment that really shine compared to jungle or cities.

It's also popular because it's challenging, requires a lot of teamwork and very good pilots.

Last but not least it's one of the map that truly use the potential of transport choppers at least on point A and B. On other map people tend to not use transport helicopter, on resort it's your last and only resort.

Personnally I only like the first 2 objectives, I don't like the other part of the map.

As mom outlined, it's the only amphibious/air assault map in the game.

It has the highest skill cap for pilots all around, from transport to loach to cobra.

It allows for some of the highest skill plays in that regard, and demands skilled pilots for the initial landing assuming the enemy team has set up properly.

In turn, this allows more focused gameplay in LMG/DSHK/RPG as well, naturally making it attractive to those who prefer said roles as well. Because of this increased skill curve, naturally most new players hate this map or love it, because they are either on a team that steamrolls, or they are on a team that never caps A. As you get more experienced, it becomes a lot more fun when you have a clear and distinct impact on the outcome of the match.

Some of it's objectives are designed using some of the best buildings in the game, Alpha/Charlie from Cu Chi, Alpha/Delta from Hue, etc. So even if you don't like the design of them particularly, it is one of the only maps that has that many elevated points for the viets to use, with a few large buildings to hold against choppers.

All in all the air game of the map in a lot of these regards is expanded, contrasted to constricted examples like Quang Tri where you can barely fly outside the walls and there is a single one-story roof to put the dshk on, for the only dshk.

I like the idea that you all have to go in all at once in the helicopters in order to effectively capture the objectives but if your team is dumb and doesn't do that then you've already lost

It is only map that actually uses those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome helicopters, every other map is poor as ♥♥♥♥ in this regard. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ single cobra, single loach, or single transport chopper. I think why developers even made those choppers at times if they ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate them so much they barely put them anywhere

Great map.

That could make it better

It's fun sometimes, other times is just a waste of time if the southern team doesn't capture the first point.

My fave part of playing Resort is when A is uncapped and the US pilots are so incompetent that they fly far out west of C and east of D and land the troops there. Then the troops have to fight their way across to A and inevitably get slaughtered before they ever get near the cap.

But the pilots don't care, because in their minds they've landed the troops, therefore they've done their job.

If A is too hot its impossible to land. Landing troops on the flanks, therefore, is the only option and can work. The infantry shouldnt try to sneak into A. Instead, shooting from the flanks can help clear the beach for future A landing.

Sadly, most players just run towards whatever objective is on their map.

All you need to do on Resort as americans - ask Cobra pilot to strafe the beach with rokets and 30mm auto-cannons before landing Hues. By strafe I mean...just shoot in rocks and all those small black dots on sand. That's it.
Resort is the only map where you actually need communication to win.

The map is only an issue with bad chopper pilots for A. After that the transports are mainly pointless although you do sort of need the cobra to rack up the kills for ticket reasons and the loach to spot tunnels. The key is simply get to the beach as fast as possible with the 4 transports right after start of mission. You fail this and it gets vary hard but not impossible. It then becomes critical that cobra and loach know what to do and get arty marks as a wall of boom. It comes down to make sure all respawn tunnels get wasted nearly as fast as they are placed.

In short for both sides its all about rushing the beach.....

The problem is that not so many pilots learn how to land and even less scouts remember that they have smoke grenades. With enough smoke and squad leaders that don't just rush the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cliffs it becomes really hard for the Vietnamese to hold the beach. Basically not knowing how to use your role is a big issue on any map.

This makes me wish for some helicopters to be able to drop smoke bombs
