Bad maps

[Gamer4life]

These maps are some of the worst iv'e seen in a while. There's to many places to camp and hide i'm constantly getting shoot in the back. You cant even walk from your spawn most game without being shot. There's probably one good map out of the bunch we need new maps A.S.A.P.

The maps in Sandstorm suck a lot, this is true. I'd say a good third to half the problem with this game is the absolutely awful maps and point placement. You can deny it all you want, but on a Sunday morning, INS2 has 1000 more players in it than Sandstorm.

But on the plus side, you get a lot of pleasure whining about Sandstorm constantly.

Every game has its own benefits for different players.

“a 2 dollar game that can run on my gameboy has more players than a modern title”

Lol, you’ve proven nothing

From the whole game industry, Sandstorm got one of the best map designs (also related and adjusted to the own individual gameplay) that I know from all games Ive ever seen or played.

Calling them bad^^...I have no words for this troll

Please...just more of these great maps exactly as them are, I love them all!

You just don't understand do you. I do admit that INS2 maps were better, but the point is, this is a TACTICAL game. You are allowed to camp and hide, you aren't going to get a lot of kills, and you are going to get mad at others. The point of this game isn't to just run around and kill, it's to help your team take the OBJ by killing the enemies inside, or outside.

So here are some tips for you.

Don't skyline.
Don't expect to kill a lot.
Take commander or observer when needed.
Communicate.
Watch out for flankers.
Watch out when going about in an open area.
Do the same when in a city.

Also, yes. I know about the ridiculous peekers advantage in this game, so it is less tactical than INS2 by nature. Although it wasn't intended to be so. But, this game is slow, slower than your average CSGO, CoD, BF3-5 etc. Just, learn the maps, and you'll do better.

Also, the devs have to take their time with the maps for the sake of optimization. This game is incredibly demanding on hardware, so having poor optimization is even worse. Really, do you want a map as poorly optimized as the Beta? I don't think you do.

The maps could be better, no doubt. There should be more of them, no doubt. Sitting around and waiting for them is no fun, no doubt. Not hearing anything definitive from the Dev's is frustrating, no doubt.

That being said, I play Coop with my group on a private server. The way to win Coop is the same for both Insurgency and Sandstorm. You must Flank, Spank, Take, Hold, Resupply and Repeat to win. You can play fast, slow or any other speed that does not allow the bots to flank you. Both games are best played modded.

I say this after +4000 hours in Insurgency and just under a 100 in Sandstorm and running servers for both.

I don't like them either, especially the ones with massive open fields
