Small 0.7 Maps = Amazing fun
Posted: 2008-01-07 21:55
The first time I got into 0.7 we played EJOD 16 player version (but had full 64 people). It was an insane infantry battle. Easily one of my best PR times I've ever had and I only got a couple of kills. It was chaotic but with lots of squad cohesion and tension. It wasn't spammy...although limiting the nade tossing range would be benificial for sure.
Now I haven't played that small map version yet again but it was just awesome when we did. I know it might have drawbacks but with 32players fighting for a small city it feels like the right number of people are in on the action...it has just an awesome feel of tension and suspense. Suppression fire was everywhere...rooftops were killers and we were working off of other squads easily. A lot of good things about 0.7 were shown off in the intense action of the infantry street fighting. Oh man...the sounds were just rediculous...it was like being in one of those youtube videos literally. We were yelling stuff out and retreating, flanking and attacking with precision...so much fun.
I'd personally REALLY like to see what some of these other small versions looks like (Market garden?). Maybe we can try and get these versions included a lot more in the rotations...especially with the commander bug screwing the big maps. It'd definitely be a nice change of pace once in a while for sure!!
If there's one thing PR in 0.7 has done REALLY well its the infantry street fighting imo (besides the long distance nades). What do you guys think? I know this is a server side decision so actually getting a change would require some guys at TG (the server we play typcially).
btw - bring your ammo bag cause you'll need it! You'll go through clip after clip laying down the suppression.
