Love this map with all the problems it has b/c no other map has this same style of playing on it. That's making it individual/characteristic.

Btw: what person is a map_ He / She / It_

Likes the map how it is. Pretty much like all the maps how they are. Most people want the game faster and less tactical. Not me. It is your decision, if you take the long way for flanking or take the faster risky way. Whats not to like_
I do agree that the order in the map circle could need a change...its 2 dark maps in a row (uptown and origin), putting the excellent Bazaar after Uptown would make sense to me.

An open area with only one area/entrance just doesn't get used, the map is effectively 2/3 of it's true size, so I see where this thread is coming from. Would like to see the library area opened up a little, not necessarily to reduce chokage, but so you get some actual use out of the whole map.
10/10 would agree again.

I like this map too. I don't see anything wrong in it. If you guys do find any mechanical issues then just report 'em to the devs vis Forum or Tech Support Ticket. Other than that Uptown is an unique map with its own possibilities and features as every other map in HAWKEN.

P.D. It's all about strategy/tactics and adaptability..

There isn't much advice I need for how to play this map. I barely even need a radar to predict where the enemy is. That's half the problem right there.This is not a "I've been playing a few weeks and this is what I think of this map" issue. This is a "I've been playing for over a year and know this map better than my own home" feedback topic. Trust me, this map has issues. Always has. It's about time they were fixed.

You people obsess about Uptown and how badly designed it is, and yet I'm here waiting for a tight cornered and close quarter's urban combat map.

Somethings wrong...

(got it, haven't played Uptown)

[nepacaka]

only DM and TDM...don't see the reason change it. no siege. no MA.
this way is the best

all other suggestion is fuzzy, and need more time to rework.

Take your filthy hands off from a good claustrophobic map.
if you want to change something, please direct your dirty attention on @Bunker. fuzzy bunny!

I see a lot of hate on Uptown. Personally I love it. I feel like most of the maps on Hawken have unique strategies and tactics behind them, and Uptown is the map that relies on chokepoints and ambushes more than any other map. I feel that opening up the map would only serve to make the maps more homogenized in general, which defeats the purpose of having multiple maps to begin with.

It's like the Tantive IV map on Star Wars Battlefront, it's different and that's why it's good.

I like uptown too, but there are limited options for effective fighting and flanking, and places that offer very interesting fights are not taken advantage of.

It isn't about opening things up so much as just including more paths for flanking.

I like the "get rid of this wall " put a ramp here, and also the hallway across the top, linking the "blue" area with the "library" area, allow's for many more options on the map.

[Sylhiri]

It takes way to long to flank someone when they are up top guarding the ramps, if you go the north way your at a disadvantage against high ground, if you go the south way then your going all the way around the map. Even if you do try to flank the other team will just push through the ramps and cuddle in the turtle room. With only two small entrances to that room you have a huge advantage in defense, yah this map is just fine >.>

Any object that it not human (or animal for some people) is called with the article "it"
