Do you like Lighthouse? And why?

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 2:26 am

Well, I'm just wondering why everyone likes to play Lighthouse. The map itself is fine, but in Crash Site mode it definitely sux. I lose everytime when I play Crash Site on Lighthouse, because the pod crashes in the enemy base. So I run 20 seconds in stealth mode (Stealth Enhance ftw!), just to get killed halfway because of a sniper. In Crash Site, it's just luck which team wins and which loses, because of the pod, which crashes in Marine Base, C.E.L.L. Base or somewhere in the middle. But if it crashes three times in the enemy base, you lost. That's not cool.

People like it because its one of the best maps for snipers . Other maps your really have to run around a lot more to get in position to snipe. Also if you dont snipe and run around the middle of Lighthouse its a perfect place for the shotty because lots of corners and close range.

Not a big fan of this map. Too many snipers. I find myself hunting down the snipers so my team has a chance to run around lol.

I find it fun to sneak up the lighthouse's stairs and stealth kill the sniper who happens to be camping at the top :P

not good in crash site

bad spawn points for this map
most time it is luck to win, because the crash site is always near your spawn and the enemy is "miles" away...

I'm just going to say, that it's one hell of a PITA in Crashsite.

Because of mentioned unbalanced crash sites, and bad spawns.

CTR would be fun, if it wasn't for the unfairly low time you get to perform something amazing. (Usually around 5 minutes.)
Which means, that you have to spend ~33 seconds SWIMMING (Which is fast) to the enemy base. And just then grab the relay, and come back safely.

Five minutes is not just quite enough for repeating that.

Well, maybe it's just that it's a PITA to only use a shotgun, just maybe.

Yep, it's a cruel map for this mode, especially if you happen to fight against the team with the lighthouse. It has huge open area of clear shooting at the enemy flag carrier. So if there's at least 1 sniper on top (and there's always at least 3 of them) you are dead in a moment you took the flag. On the other side of the map it's much easier though, thanks to all these buildings and boxes around - plenty of space to hide.

So it's IMO one of most unbalanced maps in CTR.

Map lighthouse needs a night time version for multiplayer like the one in single player. The lighting in the current lighthouse is a lil overpowering.

I haven't voted cause I don'T know which option matches my opinion.

I like the lighthouse-map itself, it's interesting with the ruins which allow intense fights, but you can also go along the coast.

But I dislike it at the same time because of the snipers. If I play on this map, there are always 3+ Snipers. And I'm not good at sniping so I'm always cannon fodder. A bit frustrating if you get a headshot, respawn and get at the respawn-point the next headshot....

I don't see problem in taking over crashed pod in enemy base, we did it many times, ofc. to do this is req. a team play. Snipers need to support people who rush pod, just shooting from sniper rifle doesn't mean that you are supporting your team. In many cases when i (as a sniper) eliminate other snipers, i am going for pod camp while providing cover fire in most open side of pod/or keeping eye on sniping spots and enemy sniper AND in same time collection points with my team. In other case when enemy team take pod it is my responsibility to eliminate people camping pod and/or shhot in face any sniper who is targeting my team, even barrage fire works well since people who are sniping need to take cover and can't attack my team mates.

Good sniper team in Lighthouse map teamed up with strike team which actually know how to use covers is something which always win. Those who run around like chickens without heads don't have anything to do on Lighthouse map.
