Bring Back Ice

[Pigeon]

Ice was ruined a long time ago due to development oversight.

When they added deployable comms instead of having to repair planetside comms it messed up the whole map layout.

Initially you had to land at LZ1 and repair the comms or well, have no comms. This did a few things; since comms was far from LZ1 it prevented cade hugging as you had to move out and protect comms and made LZ2 first drop harder/straight up ban worthy. When they added deployable comms it allowed marines to defend a much tighter zone around the LZ1 which was very hard to dislodge them out of since it was well made to make it hard to take if you got CAS/mortar support while also making that marines could drop at LZ2 straight.

The map was not designed for straight LZ2 drops and it was not designed that telecomm was to be unprotected/unused. When Shiva's Snowball had telecommunication building matter it was much beater, but with it pointlessness now marines would cade hug for 5 hours and cry for nuke/QM for aliens to sucide into their cades.

Ice belongs to the ash bin of history.

bringing back ice maybe once CM have decent balance would be epic.
I'm not saying game is unbalanced but rn its a bit complicated

this but unironically

Seconding this. Ice was fun. Take out the elevators and add stairs like the ship has and problem solved.

Jesus, how could I have forgotten the days where marines didn't bring their own comms. Better times man, better times. You would have to set aside a group of ungas in a bad spot just to make sure some runner couldn't gank the entire marine force in 5 seconds. Good shit.

Point still stands, ice is just too dam old.

Also it was the shit having those epic telecomm battles and gave a control point on the map at least that both sides fought for hard. Now they going to add them resource nodes or somethin and it going to be starcraft were drones got to get vespense gas and marines are shooting at minerals or something.

remove deployable tcomms and have marines go restore tcomms.....?

How hard could it be to place stuff from T-comms crate room into an identical room on the planet? Problem solved.

Also stairs...replace those ladders with stairs too...
