Urchin Underpass get romodel?

[Misha]

Urchin is getting remodel ( Horrible title is Horrible)

( It's getting improve between Aug 3-5)

Any thought? Urchin underpass is one of the few map I like.

I presume so... It's gone through many remodels in the past, just look at the E3 2014 trailer and the treehouse gameplay. Urchin Underpass is personally my worst map, so I'm quite happy to be honest xD
My guess is that they'll probably just add some gates, like the ones on Camp Triggerfish, so that you can climb up into the enemy spawn in the middle area, as there's plastic protecting you from climbing up it.

It's the stalest looking map in the game, other than maybe Port Mackerel, so I guess it could use a visual and possibly layout update. Hopefully it will include an extra set of side routes, which are killer in this map.

Here's a map zoomed in

Trees will be removed, extended side alley.

middle path widened.

trees moved to the middle section.


from the actual picture it also looks as if they've added a small ramp to middle path. so it will be flat with a small ramp on the side.

the highway rails will no longer be L shaped and are now raised. the ramp near it will no longer go further in

It's dangerously similar to 2fort.
DANGEROUSLY

 

[Captain Norris]

Don't know how I feel about it... looks pretty cramped.

After looking at it for a while, I kinda does D:

It has sniping points facing the middle of the map and alleyways in the center that lead into the enemy base. The changes make it even more exaggerated, I hope it's not a huge stalemate the whole time like 2fort.

My opinion on this map as of now is neither here nor there. With these tweaks though it'll be interesting to see how the dynamic changes. I'm especially interested in how the trees being moved to the centre of the stage will affect splatzones and to a smaller extent tower control.

 

[Shirma Akayaku]

Thank god they're moving the trees. They were annoying near the base because they got in the way of ink being spread. This is especially important since it allows players to get to the Splat Zone / Tower much easier.

 

[Squelchior]

What about if they're re-implementing the Gate mechanic from Camp Triggerfish, but more revolved around that concept? (eg. happens every minute)

Probably has an average chance of that being an actual change, but honestly, part of me thinks no significant changes will be made at all.

I think the reaon for the redesign was that it's realatively easy to lock down the center of the map, the extended side alleys and wider central path seem to be adressing that

 

[Mrwhatzitooya]

I think this is a pretty interesting change they've got going here. I didn't think Urchin Underpass needed many changes, but i guess moving the trees to the middle would be interesting. They could become valuable sources of cover.

Even thought the alleyways make the map look pretty cramped, i wouldn't mind a cramped map, as it would contrast very well with the norm of wide, open spaced maps in the game.

I find it amusing that the map itself won't be playable for a couple of days before the remodelled version is available. Of course, this is utterly unnecessary - they don't need to take the current version offline for a few days before dropping the remodelled version - but I take it they're doing it this way since it makes sense from the game-world perspective that the underpass would be inaccessible while it was being changed. I like this approach.

Uhh so why is Urchin Underpass in the map rotation for me right now? That just means I get the same single map in one rotation since Urchin isn't gonna get picked.

It's out of the rotation between the 2nd and the 5th.

Oh okay I see, thanks. I must have just been super unlucky and got the other map 6 times in a row hahaha.

I thought this would extend to the Battle Dojo as well, but nope, it's still available. Is it weird that I'm actually sort of disappointed?

Apparently, four other maps will receive changes, but to a lesser degree.
