Posted March 1, 2011 Why is Kaznan Jungle so popular?! It's a terrible terrible map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2011 Hope they improve map rotation as well, after some games it doesn't even give the option to vote for a different map and just starts the same one again. Ive played the salamun market map 2 many times already!! I want to play the new ones!!!! Ive got the map preference set to any, i don't expect the same map to load every time! You have to exit out sadly. The retro maps are bugged right now so they repeat constantly and do not let people vote. Other on disk maps are fine though. Its going to get patched. Why is Kaznan Jungle so popular?! It's a terrible terrible map. I have only played it once. Its pretty much there for COD players :p Easy camping maybe? I stick to Warzone and Operations mainly. More fun and XP. I will say Akmir breeze or whatever, the oil rig in the snow is a lot of fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2011 are there any good tips videos online I could watch? Anyway hopefully my copy is at home so are people up for some online tonight? I'm going to buck my usual trend of playing single player to completion first and tackle multiplayer as and when community is on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 1, 2011 I'm finding it somewhat difficult to enjoy the online side of this. Every other Warzone game I join seems to be incredibly unbalanced, either placing me on a team with a fraction the amount of players as the opposition or otherwise in the middle of an in progress spawn camp. When battles aren't completely one-sided it's good fun, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2011 You aren't in favour of spawn grenades, but they can actually prevent a spawn camp battle. Just use a tactician with boost ab... but wait, they removed that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2011 Boost was awful, I'm glad to see the back of it. Likewise I disliked spawn grenades as they actually exacerbated spawn camping: the enemy could literally appear inside your base, and whilst ostensibly useful for escaping such a situation they were incredibly easy for a dominant team to lock down; someone could leave their reticule over the spot players' heads would appear. There are far more elegant ways to solve such issues, both in terms of team balancing and map design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are far more elegant ways to solve such issues, both in terms of team balancing and map design. Boost shouldn't have worked but I thought it did. Yes, that was an issue with the spawn grenades but it kept areas of the map active that might otherwise have been neglected, and as well as this it placed you into the action much faster. Plus, there was always the camera enabling you to check if people are camping the spawns (although admittedly it was unreliable) and it usually wasn't a problem if both spawns worked in tandem, or were fairly hidden. The only gripe I had with way they worked was that they ruined the S&D mission types. Solution: allow spawn grenades to be placed only in certain regions. In the private beta matches it was clear there weren't enough areas to spawn, making travel cumbersome, and causing the aforementioned one-sidedness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2011 There is alot less spawn camping in KZ3 but it still can happen. Problem is no matter what any game does it still happens. Yeah S&D isnt that much of a mess now. Bodies still pile up though I cant say either method is ideal. both have their pros and cons. The beta snow map has the most running around in the game.
