Re: Falaise Pocket: Great looking, worst balance ever
 

i like this map, although maybe 1 more weaker tank for the axis, maybe a panzer 3 :nodding:.
i like maps when there are a few flags close together in the middle, and 1 or 2 further away and closer to the allied or axis main flags. having flags closer together makes the battles more intense and is WAY more fun.

Falaise proves again the reason we need Push maps. I haven't had fun playing Falaise yet, and I've done a good 5 or 6 rounds of it. All it is, is run and cap a flag, run and cap a flag. It's just cat and mouse, and occasionally along the way you'll kill someone. Besides that it's just trying to keep the axis contained, and it's near impossible.

Falaise is very nice map, but some of the flags are totally unnecesarry, because action is always around 2 or 3, others are empty and waiting to be captured by a lone soldat.

Re: Falaise Pocket: Great looking, worst balance ever
 

I've played the map once on Wolf, yesterday, as Axis, and found it an incredibly fun map. All the bushes make it a tank hunter's dream and I cannot remember the amount of times I satchel charged unsuspecting Shermans. The lack of armor does hurt, but there's lots of hills and cover around and behind the allied base. Use it. If the server allows it, sneak in and steal a tank or two. Me and another guy managed to do this yesterday, he grabbed an M10 and I grabbed a Sherman, to many cries of "Basecamper," probably because I blew up a jeep with a pair of Allied players in it as I was heading out of the base. Of course, I got nailed by an Evil who'd jumped on the Pak40, but it was all good.

It just amazed that that even after I'd asked the Admins if stealing a tank was ok, publicly, so everyone could see it, that the Allies would still rather complain about it then actually do anything about it...except for the Evils. And had they said no, I would have contented myself with just popping tanks. And to be frank, I think some of the people complaining were folks whose tanks I had blown up. And I got my revenge on the Evils on Breakthrough when I took out Cookie and Pumpkin I think with a Pak40 while they were in a Jagdpanzer and a Tiger respectively.

All in all, I like the changes in .65, and don't find anything wrong with Falaise.

I don't think it's unbalanced.

I do think it's a poor map.

Ditch it and bring back Berlin Outskirts, which had a purpose in life.

''
The Falaise Pocket was an encirclement of German 7th Army and 5th Panzer Army during August (IIRC). This is what the Allies attempted. The Falaise Gap, the only feasible exit out of Normandy, was what the Allies tryed to close, but a lot of German soldiers slipped out. Much of their equipment didn't however.

Anyways...

One less flag?

More like 3 less flags!

Why couldn't the map be a section of this?"

:agreed:

i have a great sugesstion for .66 The Falaise Pocket could be a ramdom spawn between canadian,britsh,u.s.
dont even now if its possible


make

I personally think this map is a heck of a lotta fun and didn't seem biased towards the allies when I played. We, the axis, held the allies back for a number of minutes before they finally brokethrough and then it was just an epic struggle of infantry trying to hold strongpoints. We won, though the map didn't seem inbalanced towards the Axis or allies.

Re: Falaise Pocket: Great looking, worst balance ever
 

I don't think its a very good idea to base conclusions about map problems off of one round.

Or five, or ten.

Several dozen rounds, on different servers, with different numbers of people, at different times of day are needed to see any significant patterns.

Re: Falaise Pocket: Great looking, worst balance ever
 

i played it for 2 rounds one round the Allies got owned and the other round the Axis got owned seems fair to me ..

Re: Falaise Pocket: Great looking, worst balance ever
 

I think it's fair to be honest, the Yanky Tankies can easily be smashed by a clever German with a Panzerfaust 100 and some cover, which is quite easy to find. A smart tanker stays out in the open with other tanks/infantry and a smart German fights and defends in small groups.

What I find irratating is the MG34 whoring on this map.
