I play plenty of Fireteam. I just don’t enjoy it and see it as a chore on the path to getting good. Hence why I don’t ever talk about my experiences as FT unless directly asked.
I’ve memorized the mission layouts on Overgrowth, Derailed & Excavation to a T. I know where everyone is going on those three maps almost perfectly. And I know the dedicated Medkit & Ammo Crate spawns on the majority of maps too, which I rush to when playing FT or go & destroy at the start of match as Pred.
FT feels the most enjoyable at times when the pred isn’t spending the whole match in a tree raining down plasma, and my team is comprised of actual humans.
This is why i wish when the new maps come out you’d only get to play on them for a day. So that everyone can learn them. Since Headquarters came out I’ve only had it TWICE in Quick Play. It makes learning the new maps a pain because for some reason the game is like “No, you’re fucking playing Backwater for the 100th time today.”
I’ve memorized all missions on backwater. Not because I want to git gud, but because every time I log on I get that damn map 12 times in a row.
Backwater always scares me and makes me cross my fingers, and the video above shows why. My heart stops whenever I see a FT member go anywhere near that building…
I hate Backwater so much. It’s so bad. Garbage map. Why won’t it leave us alone.
Aye, where that discord invite at, broheim
Ngl, the new map is beautiful, but I’m afraid I’m going to run into one of those campy premades that are going to find somewhere to bunk up in the headquarters and just spray me whenever I go down the narrow corridor that leads to where they are.
My bad, completely forgot. I think the newest link at the bottom works, if not let me know.
Backwater would be better with more trees around the top compound
That’s the real hunter in this game, Backwater, and it hunts your will to que again. If only every time we got Backwater we got 1 nickel…
If Fireteam hide in buildings they’re throwing you a free win. You just shoot them out of that hole or slam on the roof until they learn to move. Camping in buildings is a sure fire way to lose the match, no actually good Fireteam has ever camped in a building because it literally just spells death.
Backwater is a shit map because it has nothing interesting going on in its design, is horribly spaced out, has terrible spawn points, some of the lowest mission variety in the game and the highest chance out of all the maps to tank your framerate.
Backwater would be better if it just wasn’t in the game.
Agree. The layout screams ft advantage
I don’t even think it’s that. I think it’s shit & boring to play as Fireteam too.
Now Airstrip… that’s a great map. Best map in the game.
Best map to trigger Izzy’s falling scream.
Disagreement. Overgrowth best map
I think Excavation is way worse of a map than Backwater (minus the exploit on Backwater) because fucking god…I HATE the cave. I hate anywhere in the game that puts me in a spot where my leap becomes useless, since it fucks over my leap-and-strike tactic. All those tight corridors in the cave just turns the predator into a bullseye.
