Overhead view of all MNC maps

What the heck are you guys talking about?

lol. ok.

I'll walk you through this:

• 1) Look at the LaseRazor arena.
  2) Zoom in all the way
  3) Now look at the red side.
  4) Now look at the jump pad (not the new one) that takes you to the top of the tunnel side.
  5) Now look directly right of that jump pad where an opening should be that would allow players to enter the tunnel.
  6) It looks like it is walled off.

That is a very good thing.

Stop it, you guys. Please. :cry:

Stop it.

Are you crying because we keep pointing out that one of your favorite camping spots is gone?

Obifett, look again. Compare to the overhead of the map now and that screen shot. Why would they close off that exit/entrance and put a jump pad right next to it?

Do you have an overhead shot of the current map? The one on the wiki makes it even more obvious that that specific opening has been removed. It should be dark there indicating an opening, not very solid orange looking wall.

As to your question. They closed off that entrance because it was too easy for people to camp there and shoot the moneyball. And they put the new jump pad there as a way for the enemy team to come from inside the tunnel and attack the upper part. Otherwise the tunnel would have no use at all.

I've compared the current LazeRazor build to the one in the overhead map, and the colors of the walls are consistent except for the two-panel spot where the opening once was. In the DLC, It's a wall. I'm rather interested to know what it looks like on the inside, though.

Yep. That opening is gone. Which is an even bigger reason why they added the new jump pad.

I was looking at the map in game. I am sure the picture on the Wikia site you'll notice that above the doorway it has a colored wall as well which it also overhangs the opening a bit. The "opening" is not gone.

I disagree based on the overhead map that Eka posted.

Wanna make a friendly wager?

OK let me clear this up. I was comparing the in-game map, while in game, to the overhead screenshot.

Just because "it was easy to camp" doesn't mean they are removing it. If they were going to remove the opening they might as well remove the whole tunnel.

I think it might be a little overkill to remove it as well. I understand your point of view, deadstretch.

But the screenshot that Eka posted makes it look like that opening is gone. And I think it is.

Are you saying that you can see that it is gone now? Or you wanna make a friendly bet?

The opening is still there. You are not going to see it on the screenshot because it has an overhang. I'll take the bet.

"Added extra jump pads to get to the top level of the left side of both ends of the arena."
Nothing said about removing an opening.

The first place I looked was the update notes. I was surprised when I didn't see it as well.

Determined by a dev's response in this thread:

• - If the opening is not gone in that picture, then I will change my signature to: "I am blind and Deadstretch showed me the light. I wish he was always here to tell me how things really are."
  - If the opening is gone in that picture, then you will change your signature to: "I am blind and ObiFett showed me the light. I wish he was always here to tell me how things really are."
  - Nothing else in the sig but the above and it stays like that for a week.

You in?

For a week?... *saves current signature info* ...Deal!

Cool. Now all we have to do is wait till probably monday for a dev to answer.

An...overhang?

I checked it again, comparing the color of the overhang geometry to the orange markings on the ground and wall, and they are slightly different shades, though the grey border is more prominent in the picture. The doorway may actually be there....but I think the overhang may have been taken out!

Another easy way to tell is by the metal supports holding up the glass and wall. In game they don't reach all the way to the floor/ground but in the overhead screenshot they look like they do. It's a good way to judge exactly where the floor is.
