In this patch we are releasing the Cliffside Map Rework. This is an exciting rework as it changes the map dramatically while still keeping the core gameplay of the map the same. Fights in the open laneways around the map, as well as tighter combat zones within the city have been changed to offer more combat options and better holds. Walkers and Mechs can now enter the Server Room as the hallways have been expanded to allow their passage. This allows for some interesting dynamics when holding that location, as well as when attempting to pass through when assaulting.
Assault is a little more balanced with the main base locations having large defensible walls to protect the main generators and core structures. Player vs Player is also improved in that regard due to the fact that the objective can no longer be long range sniped. This openness and extra cover options around the map enables the better use of the heavier vehicles such as Walkers and Tanks which were previously not as reliable as going for mass infantry strategies. Some extra height to the map within the city with the ability for infantry to get into the buildings as well as on top of them allowing for some extra changes in the dynamics within the city.
We hope you enjoy the new and improved Cliffside map and as always, thank you for Supporting the Development of Cascading Failure.
