reborn boss are necessary.
reborn boss are very easy to kill on Hoth, and Hoth is the best map in the game, so I'd say there's a pretty good chance that has something to do with it.
I think that focusing on making objectives "good for sniping" is not a good idea at all. A good sniper doesn't need to be catered to. If an objective comes out with a bunch of space, that's cool. If not - oh well, people who like to will still do it.
I think the perfect example of this would be 2nd obj of Cargo Barge. There are no mines and that door is pretty wide open. It's pretty hard to spam that door (barring rockets, which can be avoided), but because it's such a nice "sniper spot," with very little cover and a large area to travel, 1-2 landos can literally defend against an entire team of 5 indefinitely. That's not a good gameplay mechanic.
Also, as a general rule, just assume I disagree with basically anything that Turqoise posts. Assuming you want this map to be played in pugs (Let's face it, the average pubber isn't going to know where to download the map or how to install it, and pugs haven't used any custom map other than Cargo consistently ever, it'd be nice for a change up), I advise avoiding "cool" stuff, and looking purely at a "what's fun to play" point of view.
If you can get into contact with Duo, he spent a lot of time working on objectives for a serious gameplay map.
Hi. I'm angry on the internet.
