Nucleus? A dead map?

[Sinister80s]

I cant find any servers running this map anymore. Is it dead?

Top 10 logical logics.

Most people don't want to play Nucleus because Sniper absolutely dominates on that map. It's a wide open map with one giant death pit in the middle and very little cover around the control point, which itself lies in the middle of said death pit and has only 4 narrow bridges connecting to it. It's a haven for Snipers, and nobody wants to play a match with 6 Snipers on each team.

I'd say medic dominates, once I changed the entire game for my team because I was running in circles on the point with my ubersaw out, and nobody even hit me until my team had 30 seconds left on the point.

It’s run in casual.

But it’s a horrible map.

To pyro oriented with a pit and cqb. Due to the entire mid of the map basically being to tiny the battles are to spread out and the lack of high ground makes it unepealing to soldiers. The fact that stickies don’t actually stick anywhere near the point makes it worse for demos.

I believe they stick on the poiint itself, just not those platforms that lead to the point. Instead they just sort of bounce across them.

It also needs a lot of area's locked off from building engie buildings on it. Places engineers should be building but can thanks to accessibility to sentry jumping and ledges hell. You can even get to a few spots by standing ontop of a dispenser actually...

I like the general design. But wish there was more to the middle then it being sort of an "island" with plenty of death pits around it.

fun map but sadly dead since 2fort and turbine are more popular

[Disco Battle]

no? id say i play on nucleus enough and see enough players to say its not as dead as some other maps like yukon

I actually like Nucleus but I often cringe at the lack of flanking from my team on a map that has so many flanking opportunities. It's practically a flanking map.. but when Snipers are dominating, something's badly wrong with teamwork.

its stupid map... me as spy what happens... they turtle up spawn doors... snipers are least problem with me but thing is 2 pyro cycle near dispanser its bad balanced map for any other class.. snipers are big problem...heavy? dont even try

That must be you because I usually end up in that map at least once a day if I stay in the same match.
But yeah, Nucleus is not as famous as it used to be. In fact, I've seen KotH maps falling a bit these days, except for Harvest.
