Horrible. Absolutely terrible especially in higher tiers where you spawn within gun range of the enemy and they can shoot you immediately and sometimes before you even load into the game. That is all. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

138 Menemy Beta Testers 1,023 posts 2,801 battles Report post #3 Posted August 27, 2015 The way to face hotspot is to coordinate with the other half of your team to meat either North West/South East or South West/North East depending on your team. That way you are performing a pincer attack on half of the enemy team and also regrouping. Keep in mind that the enemy team will attempt the same thing. Your chance of winning in such a map is directly tied with how much you communicate with your team, some say that it's a terrible map design for a game with mostly pub matches since there is no coordination. (I honestly like it, even forced teamwork is better than no teamwork at all) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

386 Misniso Members 2,829 posts 6,653 battles Report post #7 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I think it's a fun map design. Plus these are the best maps to be on when your CV's are out-tiered because your team generally rushes the side with the enemy CV, causing it to collapse before the enemy CV has a chance to make a second run.

1 L0GIX Beta Testers 26 posts 10,574 battles Report post #10 Posted August 27, 2015 Lets encourage teamwork lets split up teams and split up the divisions in that team, so it takes them 2/3 of the game to get together. Yes really encouraging teamwork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole "this map isn't bad it just requires teamwork/different tactics/rainbow unicorns/early spotting/whatever" argument may be valid, but it doesn't erase the fact that some of us find it's particular style of play to be un-fun.

There have been very few times that I have lost Hotspot if the 2 groups pincer a corner and eliminate that group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

59 Heavybarrel120mm Beta Testers 271 posts 8,188 battles Report post #15 Posted August 28, 2015 I've said it before and I'll say again Hot Spot is an excellent map for Clan Wars or tourneys because of voice coms. As a pub match map it's horrible cause lack of said voice coms. Communication is the biggest key to winning/surviving Hot Spot. Sure you can types commands into chat but most pubbies either don't care to listen or have that I'm gonna do things my way and I don't care what any of you have to say attitude. This is why maps like Hot Spot are a huge failure at the pub level. Don't get me wrong I love the layout of Hot Spot and can't wait to see or be in a CW battle on it. I just hate the split spawns although to me the three cap version of Hot Spot is much better than the five cap version. With the three cap version teamwork is a lot better IMHO cause half of each team caps their respective cap while the other half begins to duke it out for the third cap while waiting for the rest of the teams to help out.
