To me Hammerhead Bridge is basically a Port Mackerel with much needed verticality due to the grated walkways. It's possible to get spawn camped but still sort of hard to get to that point. It's super long, so beakons are great. The middle is so twisty turny, which allows for some excellent ambushing opportunities.
I think Kraken is pretty bad for Hammerhead Bridge. From my experience, most of the fighting is happening on the grates, and the grates are usually very easy to get to, so it's difficult to catch anyone with a Kraken. Also thanks to the grates, Splash Walls aren't as good; they can cover the upper floor or the lower floor, but not both.

Probably my favorite map. Been using a lot of run speed ups so that I can have control of the grating area without a problem.
Although it seems to almost never show up in rotation which is saddening. It showed up once at 6AM and not once since then. It seems to be in at 2 PM for Tower Control which I'll be sure to play during, but at this rate who knows when it'll be in again after that?

Oh, is that why it's disappeared off the rotation? I noticed, when Flounder Heights was the newest stage, it was there all the time.

Either that or they saw the amount of flak they got from having the new stage in the rotation throughout the entire week. Though, I'm leaning more towards it not being in rotation because of the gamebreaking "exploit".

I guess that's why it's temporarily off the rotation :V

It was up last night, mid day for the states, so at the time I guess they didn't know about it. They likely do now with the recent influx of videos about it. I think they were just trying to stay away from what they did last time. Now it'll be seen even less. But hey, new updates are never a bad thing. :]

That's interesting, though I wouldn't call it a glitch as an oversight. It was on Tower Control yesterday though.

It's only a major threat on Rainmaker anyway. It's not like Camp Triggerfish where it was a danger in both Turf War and Splat Zones.

Version 2.2.0 will probably fix that exploit I previously mentioned.

It's confirmed. Skip to "Game Updates" and read the other stuff for 2.2.0
