Your suggestion for Shores of Time puts bravo and charlie almost literally right next to each other...
However, good point about Blind Watch. I was thinking the same thing, Alpha's location makes no sense to me. From an overview of the map, the locations all look evenly placed, bit once you consider the actual way the traffic flows on that map, having alpha that far away is just kinda...dumb. The map suffers from the fact that only about 60% of it is used and part of it is completely ignored the majority of the time. That's why it's so fast-paced: everyone clusters in the low area around C, along the side of the map, and the interior by B.

Edited by Retribution: 7/26/2014 4:29:45 PMMy bad forgot about the 'C' Placement. I think it should be further back on 'Shores of Time' if the 'B' Flag is moved into the centre. Then there would be 2 flags on either end of the map, one in the centre and two pathways on either side to flank.

You'd have to move the team spawn by C (not sure what team that is) to where B currently is then. And then you'd technically have the teams spawning on the same side of the map. Also, the area where B is is too perfectly shaped for a control point (ninja jump around the back, too) that I don't think they'll move that one. I think the answer is to move C to the center (and enlarge that area if possible), and leave B where it is. The team that spawns in the trees should spawn closer to C's current location, then. That way, each team has a shot at C (the new one), and a semi-guaranteed cap on either side.

Edited by Retribution: 7/26/2014 5:21:48 PMThat doesn't fix the problem of 'B' and 'C' being close together. Where 'B' is right now doesn't have to be a capture point it is a good side pathway similar to the tunnel near where 'C' is right now... Grr if I had an over head map or knew how to post a crude image I made on paint I could illustrate my point better. Each Bravo Team already spawns on a side pocket area near 'A' Point and Alpha team spawns in a side pocket near the ruins behind the tree area near 'C'. If the 'C' point was near the tree/ramp area it would be good. Then the centre cave could hold the 'B' flag.

Edited by Kind of Ben: 7/26/2014 5:49:19 PMI don't think having C in the middle would be that much of an issue (with the proximity to B) if you moved them just a little further apart. They're way farther apart this way than if B was in the middle. I'm saying put C on the side of the middle room that's closest to A, and move B closer to the edge of the map, directly away from the center. It's not very far, and yes they're still closer than A and C, but I believe it wouldn't be that bad. There's a very short route in from B, but coming from A you have two very good flanks right into the point, while to get a second entry point from B you have to head down the wall a bit. Also, you'd still have to move the Bravo team spawn if B went to the middle and C came closer to the trees. Honestly I don't have a huge problem with the way it is now, and I think anything we've discussed so far leaves A underutilized, similar to Blind Watch. I feel having C in the middle is the best place if it is to be moved at all.
