Re: Capt Gordon's box of pwnage
Yes! it was fun. There aren't a lot of tanks on Capt Gordon's. Probably why it doesn't get voted much.
Re: Capt Gordon's box of pwnage
That's exactly why it doesn't get voted, this is a DM style map and we don't have a lot of DM type players. Conversely, CEONSS plays this map all the time. Hard to keep pace with a 100+ ping though.

Yes sadly not much fun there when you can't shock rifle anyone.
I wonder if adding a few more scorpion variant on Capt Gordons would improve it?

Hmm Lg > shock on that map. Just hs them and if they survive minigun them down.
Moar scorps sound good ! Which scorpions are you thinking of? The ones from the crash map?

Re: Capt Gordon's box of pwnage
There's a whole host of Scorps:
Tarantula/Stinger, faster longer strands
WebCaster - web of strands
Hyena - Flak Scorp
Mantis - twin beams
Link Scorp
EONS/Boost Scorp
MiniGun Scorp
Lynx - Rocket Scorp
Tyrant - Minitank turret
and a few other variants on the loadout map.
For CGBO - I like the boost, Tarantula, Webcaster.
Maybe a hyena (lot of damage, but lower range)

Re: Capt Gordon's box of pwnage
If we make a map scorpion’d-out it should be ClassicEvilDead. But I think it’d be cool for this one too. They’re fun on flat maps like these

Re: Capt Gordon's box of pwnage
We should add teleport portals to the outer nodes or some other movement option on this map. I think the concept on this map was to use mantas to take the outer nodes but they can be shock rifled to death rather easily.

Re: Capt Gordon's box of pwnage
I wonder if jumppads might be better. Move you toward the action faster, maybe land on the rocks, and jump pads to the middle closer to the middle nodes vs. the long wait of riding the ball.
Also I think having more scorps would be better too, although they are pretty susceptible to shock rifle fire, and the more powerful scorps will kill that goliath pretty quick (esp Hyena, Tarantula, WebCaster, Stinger). Might be fun to add 2 scorps at each primary and 1 goliath. I know that's less on foot DM, but some players like the tanks better and careful linking of the tanks would move the map along.
Map is a good candidate for the new link scorpion too.
