The Problem with the Current Maps and How to Solve Them.

The problem with the current maps is that they are predictable. For experienced players, the opening minute or so becomes like a game of chess. They know where the enemy will spawn and that there are only a couple of opening moves that opponents tend to make, and what they will do in response to each of these opening moves. It is only in the middle to late game that the battle becomes interesting.

What I am suggesting is twofold.

• A greater variety of spawn points covering a greater area. Wayward Pains and The Foundry tend to be less predictable as the spawn points are larger.
• Multiple variations of the same maps (maybe 5 different variations) which have slightly different features ie the map shape and look is the same, but the obstacles and doors are in slightly different places.

Both of these changes would encourage more ‘thinking on your feet’ rather than the predictable ‘chess’ openings to matches that we currently have.

nb: I know some players may say that new maps would be preferable, and I’m not going to argue with that. But even new maps would become predictable over time.
