LazerRazer - Offensive Base camping too safe?

Is that the right name for this map? I just see the word Lazer and veto or leave before it starts now. So on to the point of the topic:

Having a high vantage point is a clear advantage in this game when it comes winning a fire fight. Usually there are spots with cover giving you plenty of time to duck around a corner from anything from an instant kill (usually headshots). This generally isn't a big deal on the middle of the map where you can go around the other way (such as Grenade III), but to the right and left of your base in LazerRazer Arena, those ledges feel -too- safe.

Simply guard the jump pad and chew up half of the enemy base with near immunity. It even has easy access to the money ball if I recall for mostly accurate long range attacks (please correct me if I'm wrong about this).

Yes, you can go around to avoid them or try and get them from behind, but they'll see you (except for assassin). And if they're running as a duo or more, an assassin usually can't get them both.

Ideally, the glass panels just need to be removed to reduce the effectiveness of this tactic. Pull at least 2 away so cover isn't so cozy, without making the front gun have super easy access to anyone up top.


Summery for topic:
- Is camping above the enemy base too safe on LazerBlazer?
- If so, how can it be toned down?
--- Remove some glass panels up top? 2, 3, or 4 of them? (Reduce cover)
--- Add another jump pad more to the front of the base?

Thoughts?

Are you talking about the Steel Peel arena? (The one with the hole in the center?). If so then I have to say I'm not a huge fan either. It's very to abuse the map as a sniper, though I've never had a problem with people camping the upper catwalks that I couldn't really handle.

I think he means LazerRazer, the one surrounded by the desert.

Re: LazerBlazer - Offensive Base camping too safe?

I'm not sure if it the desert one, but i agree that map is way to easy/hard to play on who ever first to that camp pretty much wins the game and that seem to be the only map with that problem. all the other are little more balance.

On another note i notice that, lazer Blazer isn't coming up as much not at all did they take it off the rotation?

Pretty sure its called LazeRazer

Re: LazerBlazer - Offensive Base camping too safe?

Huh, the only bit of annoying camping I've seen is Level 3.3 Firebases behind bulletproof glass walls protecting lifts... Those are basically impossible to destroy with a nearby Support healing them...

Other than that, the maps are very well designed. I've never had problems getting in or out of anywhere, and I've never really had all that much trouble dealing with campy players, even trap-happy snipers.

That being said, I basically only play the Assassin.

That high ground camping spot is extremely vulnerable to a cluster of airstrikes. Mark them in the tunnel below, and the guys up top won't ever see it coming

i disagree i have no found it that way that is one of my fav maps just lobs some nads or mordeers up in there toss a air strike and a bomb or two they will scatter i have more trouble on the other side with a sniper trapping him self in

ProTip: Throwing an air strike beacon under a bridge will cause the air strike to hit the top of the bridge when it comes down.

I really enjoy your sense of humor.

That's not sarcasm by the way, I'm being serious
