thoughts on it?
I haven't played it enough to be sure yet, but I'm leaning towards yes.
no it sucks
Eh. I've got mixed feelings.
It's not a bad map, it's much denser than some of the other maps in terms of storytelling, but I still think any mechanics involving snow are cancer inducing so.
Why ICE mechanics have to be reused? Like really, I want both unofficial and official statements.
Too big, too many ledges, too many checkpoints and just overall doesn't feel right.
On the other hand it looks good, aesthetics are fine.
yes i do

I enjoy it, but it does feel janky. And linear. And too big. The weather/vision restriction mechanic will never not feel like a gimmick unless it was reworked entirely, and it makes LZ2 absolutely miserable to FOB in. Half the map goes basically unused. Almost all of the fighting takes place in a straight line between LZ1 and west engineering/medical, as well as in the jungle that xenos always nest in just before marines fall apart and retreat to the FOB or xenos fall apart and the game devolves into a half hour bug hunt. That said, it does offer a decent mix of close quarters, choke points, flanking points, defensible positions and open areas to fight in, CAS/mortar is relevant without being excessively dominant ala prison, and the map is interesting aesthetically. Overall, I give it a 6.5/10 - not great, but it is a massive improvement on Ice 1.0.
i like it because UPP guns
