    I was finally able to get a game in this morning before work and ended up on the Spunky cola map. I noticed something funny, the intro says that it's the 'Sprintz Arena', i'm not sure if that's what they say on the 360 version, because my volume is usually down, but I found it slightly odd.

    Another thing, there seemed to be an inordinate amount of bouncers on the map. The enemy team had no tanks or gunners, but I found myself being chased by 3-5 bouncers at a time. Never had this happen to me before, but luckily I was a tank, so a couple death blossoms and the problem was solved.

    Oh, another thing I noticed, but i'm not sure it's a bug or anything. I just recently started playing Tank as one of my mains on the 360 version, so I don't know much. But is it normal to be grappled while in the middle of a charge? I've quite literally never seen this happen, but it happened quite frequently to me earlier while playing.

    I think the amount of bouncers was because Spunky is a single lane map, so all spawns go down the middle but the spawn rate is the same.

    As for grappiling a charge, if you time it right, to where they're flying into your grapple, basically, you can get someone.

    The grapple while charging issue might just be lag. On the other guy's screen, he grappled before you charged. On your screen, you charged first. Games often have problems with lag allowing mutually exclusive cases like this

    Well, I've played on that map probably upwards of a hundred times and it was my first time seeing that many bouncers, though it may have been a lag hiccup or some such. Typically the most bouncers you see at once are 3, and generally they aren't all spawned at the exact same time.

    Huh. Have never seen that happen... Weird. Ah well.

    I've grappled a charging tank with the gunner's grapple.

    I've seen a ton of bouncers on the map at once on the 360 version, as bot spawn rate increases later in the match.

    I think the devs have said it's possible to get grappled out of a charge, but I can't remember specifically. If it happened it was here on the forum though, so a search might help.
