If you can remove some rocks at 2,3,4,5 i'll be glad!
Today Rail was pathetic, with a lot of rocket-spam by noobs, so unplayable.
Sigh

just remove the rocket launcher AT ALL. 9 out of 10 times i get killed by some random shots since ppl spam with that thing waaaay too much.
and i agree with the urgence for covering up the secondary nodes. really tried as hard as i could today, but especially node 4 is positioned badly in that corner since one has to face the walls and cannot see if an enemy is behind one or not... node 3 is actually quite easy to get back, but since 4 is not 3 is also down quick...
and still i don't see the necessity to keep that stupid node 1. don't care if it builds up twice as fast or not - you don't even get close to it because you die on the way there.

i almost ragequitted but didn't and tried and tried and tried - without success and to be honest even without having fun at all (due to the hilarious imbalance on the on hand and the rox spammers on the other...)

I think you don't need to remove it at all.
Noobs don't come back at core when they reborn for take a rocket launcher. (and they'll flood with flak, i know)
At least, rockets at core can be used for a better defense of the loosing team, and maybe to equilibrating (sooo bad english) the game.

1 is something interresting (and not very important) in the link setup, with some effort you can prevent it's building if you can't build it yourself. Rocket launcher is popular... Again, see the Bridge or OperaHouse, you have all weapons there and the map does work.

In fact, the problem of Rail is that the come back is impossible when 2,3,4,5 are controled by the same team.

I propose to put some protections around 1 (to protect it for the lateral attacks --> a player must be in the line with the node to attack it, and it's easier to defend with a lightning gun, for example.)

Avantages: -central node can be take by loosing team
-this team can reborn at the center of the map (and reequilibrating the game maybe)
-central node is more easy to defend

If you have no objections, maybe we can try it...??

Or, Make two new unlinked nodes, 1 for each team, not attackable, so they can spawn somewhere else in the map. And break the enemy's line of death. Best solution i think.

Well, it's an easy thing to say "put protection around center" or "place a new node". I couldn't have thought of such a thing myself.
The more helping statements would be where and how you would do that without making it look shitty, artificial and annoying.

I will surely not place some concrete walls up on such pipes or put the ADS there while it wouldn't really have an effect at all.
And the only real place for a new node would be on the roof, but that would make it too hard to get any of the nodes if it's invincible.

Sigh... we do all our best to try to help you.
So what do you propose, Crusha?

Ok; I modified the map just for getting an idea, just to let u see what i mean. So i don't want any credits ^^ :

And yes u can get on the roof. Easy
Check Link Setup on Picture!

And again thanks Crusha u learned me all this basic things of unrealed


Ciao VK

Well, even if you can get on the roof easily, it takes more time than to get to the bottom area, so it would make it even harder for the defending team to come back.
And you are even more exposed to snipers there, as you don't have the cover from the surrounding buildings.
Besides that it looks just weird to put a node up there.
