[QUOTE=NanoSquid;36294995]Anyone else miss that old ice map with the huge towers? I really liked that one[/QUOTE]

Everyone misses Bella Omega

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;36295100]Everyone misses Bella Omega[/QUOTE]

Why did they remove it, I remember it to be quite amazing?

[Beardy]

hirezkate said that they removed it because it "serves as a lesson for complaining and not giving constructive feedback"

A huge portion of the community hated that map, and did nothing but say it was terrible even with every change they made to it. It wasn't a terrible map in my opinion, I wish so many people didn't whine about it. But oh well, hopefully there will be several new more unique maps in the future.

[Raidyr]

The fact that it emptied out servers kinda speaks volumes about the map. No one liked it, atleast the vast majority didn't.

[DireAvenger]

I wish they didn't merge rabbit with TDM, it makes it really difficult to judge whether or not I'm dying because I'm too close to the flag or I'm dying because I'm bad at countering certain classes.

While TDM needs something to focus the action, a flag that grants 2x kills to the team who holds it is a really dumb mechanic.

It shouldn't need anything to focus the action at all, most of what the game does is create small skirmishes in the corners of the map with 2-4 people.

And this could be achieved in Arena, but Arena is intended for MLG rank gameplay and punishes speed.
