Half of them are. The other one is complete shit. I dunno I like them both. The only time it sucks is when there are some tyranids around.

Mines is a really solid map, Ruins on the other hand is a bit pants. It's way too small and the bottom part of the map is a maze of indestructible walls that serve only to frustrate the game's pathing. The fact that there's only two so far is also a big issue since they're already feeling pretty played out.

Half of them are. The other one is complete shit. I dunno I like them both. The only time it sucks is when there are some tyranids around. Or when you're against space marine. Since they can garrison in the building and hold half of the power and a VP while also almsot semi covering another VP. And then do the same for the top VP and hold both VPs for all of t1 and then rush to razorbacks and missiles! So yes, it actually does completely suck.

I really dislike the Ruins of Argus map, it's just a pain in the ass to play, but Medean Cliff Mines is probably the best map in the game. So the map you get is basically what decided whether 2v2 is terrible or awesome.

I can sort of see why they did the indestructible walls thing on the bottom VP, to give each "lane" a distinct feel, but the result was horrible and it was probably a bad idea to begin with.

It's weird that a feature of the map is indestructability.

They should just start porting over CoH maps.

Isn't it strange how all the best maps are Desert themed? Siwal Frontier, Argus Gate... now Medea.

I think all the maps are pretty good except that shitfest 2v2 one.

I think all the maps are pretty good except that shitfest 2v2 one. No-flanking Chokepoint Spire says hi.

You can flank in that. I do it lots of the time. Not that you really need to on that map.

If we're attacking maps, let's not forget the horrorshow that is Green Tooth Jungle, for which I burn with a special kind of hatred.

Is that the big one or the tiny one? The big one is alright. Gets tedious when the enemy player decides to garrison though.

Yeah the big one is fine, that's Gorge. Jungle is the stupid thin long one where you start right next to the enemy and most of the map is these awful patches of jungle that make platforms even more useless than usual and give melee heavy armies the big leg-up they totally didn't need. Anyway, on a completely unwelcome "playing the game and having fun" note, Bluflare, Talkinghead and myself were playing team battle earlier when we drew some decent opponents on Argus Desert Gate. They won. We were sad pandas. We get to the next match - it's the same three guys on the same map. TIME FOR VENGEANCE! One of them had even switched to Tyranids. Clearly, this could not stand. After an epic 30 minute struggle, we emerged triumphant with nerves shot straight to hell. Apparently I forgot we were playing Dawn of War II and not the original, since at one point I had four Fire Prisms on the field. At least it made for some nice screenshots: (beware the h-scroll rape) Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler

You lost with a tyranid on your team? Good work.

Hey, i just chose the wrong build for my army that fight. I should have gone ranged instead of melee. And i don't play RA if that's what you were thinking. So shushh

those are nice pics. I wish I could take nice pics. For some reason print screen never takes a screenshot. Just does a screen grab and saves it to the clip board. A low quality screen grab.

Talkinghead, please don't feed the trolls. They suck up all our joy and turn it into a thick tar-like substance in which they can then wallow. It's not pretty and I don't want to see it. Not to mention the fact that they're contravening just about every one of the Akira Conventions laid out in the OP. We need economic sanctions, or something...

"Troll" has become such a catch-all for "People who don't think like me." You still lost when you had a tyranid on your team versus a team without a tyranid. You should be ashamed.
