Really people, you LIKE Komarin....

Just for reference, THIS is Komarin

http://wiki.worldoft...omarin_mini.jpg

Seriously? You people LIKE this map? This map has two settings, camp or start rush.

How is this a good map? It is as well made and thought out as Manos: Hand of Fate.




Christ, that forum poll made me pop more blood vessels than all the pub stupidity in the world could cause.




What is it that makes people like this map? I mean, Malinovka ain't great but at least it gives you more room to move than three tiny bridges out in the open...

Oh and if your gonna neg me at least explain to me why you think I'm wrong about this being a bad or boring map, really, bring it.

[PTwr]

I like this map for unusual battles. Sure, those are rare, but I can bear with soem standard battle for this one in fifty pearl.

[cptnknipples]

i think its fun when your on offence, but thats just me...

[Konflict]

I like it better then Abby

[CNCfan101]

the battles for the middle island are fun, now that there are some buildings there.

[Daiichidoku]

L2P and all maps are fun

[lostwingman]

Let me approach this one by one

Middle island is highly susceptible to sniper fire from literally every where around it. It wouldn't surprise me if more than half of my kills on that map was me shooting into the island from outside. In other words, it's a really bad place to go unless your facing an incompetent team AND have support.

Oh I've had some of my best whittmann's battles on that map but not because I did much, but because I just sat back and sniped. I also don't see how 98% crap encrusted horrible for 2% golden moments is a good trade-off.

The only way I can stand this map is to play on the offensive front nowadays. If you try to play defense now you just get artillery'd. So I totally agree with you.




And finally....

I'm baffled...


Abbey is one of the best maps from the pre-release period. It's the most balanced in that it allows any class of tank to shine. Mediums and fast heavies can flank and move from front to front. Heavies can brawl with decent coverage from arty. Arty have decent lanes they can cover but are not able to cover a great deal of the map from any one spot. TD's can be played offensively or defensively in this map and it would play to their strengths to do either. Also light's are given switch covered routes through the middle of the map. It's not the best map but because it can be played enjoyably in any class of tank it is one of the better ones.

Except when they're as boring as Comarin. When the L2P aspect of the map is "where best to hide", it's not a fun map. It's certainly more fun to win or do well than it is to do poorly or lose. However, this map just seems to suck time away most of the time as both defending and attacking involves waiting for someone to reveal themselves or sacrificing at least half your hp to pop out and spot.

[sarcasm]Yea, great map, great fun. [/sarcasm]





Let me make this clear, I don't dislike Comarin because I do poorly at it. On the contrary I do fairly well on it. I dislike it because it's sooo boriinnngggg.




Oh and let's not forget when your in a low tier match and this schlocky map pops up! GJ with all the additions in the island devs but was it really wise to do it in such a way that in some matches the island is totally inaccessible?

[BigDaddyBioshock]

I think you are obsessing over this way too much, it isn't like it is the only map. When it pops up yeah I might not like it but you know what? I don't bitch about it on the chat channel, general chat, platoon chat, clan chat, or the forums. I'm not saying you do this on general chat and so on, but my point remains.

Only reason I made this thread is because of the poll on the front page and the results of it. With how much people complain about the map, the results of that poll just plain baffle me.

BRAWL IN MIDDLE.

[Alphaomega92]

Every time I play this map now, I post in the beginning "Who wants to rush cap and get this terrible map over with?" Sometimes people ignore me, but I've had a good number of matches where I've gotten the full agreement of the entire team. It's actually pretty fun to see ten tanks pile into a cap zone, using each other for cover. The best match I've had in the place was where the other team rushed their own cap, leading to a frantic cap battle.

[daved12]

i always go middle in that map best way

[Braskey]

Yeah, the poll indicates that nearly 60% of people like this map, those are bewildering numbers. This is the only map I hate seeing more than Campokanova.

The OP is right:
0-1 arty = cap rush
2+ arty = camp boring

[Largepotato]

Next poll will be 70% like El Halluf :suicide:

[vamrat]

I've had some fun games here.  The advantage of this map is you don't know which side is going to camp or rush.  I've done both from both ends of this map.

[DrewTheSchu]

I'm not a fan of this map.  I think the problem is that with this map, you seem to almost always have both teams doing the same thing: few brawl in the middle, reamining divide and camp both flags waiting for the other to move.  Other maps a small group that stays to defend base and majority go off to brawl in common combat areas, with the winner of which rolls on to the enemy base.  But not Komarin.  Unless a bulk rides down the middle (which can be a very bad idea) it usually turns into one big camp fest.

[Bore]

I think it is flawed but not terrible. I think El Halluf is far worse.

[darthcarabis]

I think these "I hate this map and I hate that map" threads are just a whole lot of belly aching over a relatively minor thing,I mean come on people you got to take the good with the bad.I guess hey could make it so you could choose where you want to play,but we all know that that would be a huge mess.It's like in Reservoir Dogs,nobody wants to be Mr Pink,and somebody has got to be Mr Pink!

You do that, give me more kills while I do what this map is designed to force you to do, camp  





This map needs a few changes, with I think the most unanimous and most agreed upon either being to remove it from low tier battles (the ones where noone can get into the island) or doing something where those tank traps don't show up in games where noone would be able to break them.

I'm not sure what else I would change about this map though, it just seems soo flawed that it's beyond repair.
