I got a few pugs to play Theed a while back, but I guess I never relayed suggestions people had:
*1st Obj*
- alt route is kinda far from the main making it very difficult to cover in a small pug
- a couple of the func_breakables are a little high imo, you take damage if you try to mine spam them (which you kinda earned if you made it up as a demo )
*2nd Obj*
I'd say this is one of the best objectives in the map, only thing really debatable is d spawn location being basically on top of the obj. Might want to spread locks out and/or move the d spawn on top of the wall and expand the room/hall up there.
*Codes/3rd*
This is honestly one of the weaker objectives imo.
- I like the fact that the offense has access to the codes, but I think a lot of the power that hoth's codes had was it was straightforward yet not easily rush-able because the codes were in a location about equally far from both teams. Not sure how to fix besides maybe moving codes location :/
- The delivery point is basically the ultimate midget door. Only one route in through a small door (twice in a row kinda). You might consider increasing the size/depth of the room and adding another entrance (such as a balcony door that goes down stairs and meets up in same area).
*4th/This is an objective?*
- Most obvious flaw is rushability. Unless timed awfully or you die getting 3rd, it's almost impossible to not convert this after the third because the d spawns behind the offense that got 3 on their way to 4. Easy fix is to change d spawn and/or make corridor longer/windier.
*5th/copy of first*
- Although very similar to obj 1, it has basically the opposite problem. The alt route is nearly on top of (or below rather ) the main one. Also the distance from the d spawn and length of hack makes it pretty fkn hard to do as a jan that's alt-routing past people that haven't played it before . This could be a nice place to try some mapping magic and implementing a multi-hack. Have multiple hacks that enable the next one in line (each advancing a shader or some visual acknowledgment of progress).
Otherwise just tweak the location/length of hack until a good mix is achieved.
- I guess this is just me OCDing with the lore side of things (but also kinda gameplayie). I think it would work better if the locks were further apart because gameplay-wise it's a little cramped, and lore-wise what engineer puts all of the locks right in a row where somebody can take them all out
*6th/HOW MANY HACKS ARE THERE?!*
- Another solid objective from a design pov imo.
- Possibly kinda small/spammable
- As has been said before, the railings are about 1 in. too high to jump over (that is if you aren't a ninja with column bases) (not sure if you said it was intended).
I was actually going to put this in your "Should I keep being a BAMF?" thread, but I thought it prolly belonged here more.
