I've played two, horribly laggy, games due to the only private server with this map/mode enabled being in Australia, but my word, it was awesome. 

 

All mechs can do well on this map, perfect for sniping, bombarding, zipping around in the light mechs or just duking it out in the medium mechs. Not for the fain hearted though as there is only one EU station under the AA, middle of the map ( it fills your mech with energy very quickly though ). Bases are situated by the two large curved bunker areas, making for a very short distance to get to & from the EU station.

 

I would kindly request this map be put into the general Seige rotation ASAP as it will be a breath of fresh air and seemingly requires no real work to make it... work.

Its actually extremely well balanced and suits the map's strengths well.

Bunker actually has strengths and the difficulty in seeing them are removed entirely with the way siege is setup on it.

Good Time

I'm not even gonna scratch the surface of the discussion of whether siege bunker is good fun or not.

 

All I can say is, it's not suited for pubs, not even one bit.

Can you perhaps explain these strengths, please?


I have a lot of ideas and would like some feedback on them:

As much as the variety would be nice, bazaar siege is not good for public games. (Or private really without the proper mindset.) Bazaar siege is incredibly unbalanced, and consists of one team strolling up to the AA and holding several distinct choke points that the other team has to either go through, or walk an obscene distance around to flank.

Bunker's cover is arranged in a circle, siege places the objectives at the center and on the outside.

Includes a single eu "tree" at the center

Only 2 energy depots on the periphery

Static spawns on the outside.

 

It insures constant contact throughout a match, quick muling runs, and many more trips to launch.

There's a sense of urgency and frenzy that siege on other maps only provides in limited doses.

The siege game mode eliminates the bad spawning that bunker suffers from in tdm and forces players to recognize and use the cover.

Siege mode on Bunker. Insanity at its highest level. It's OK if you like it, it's OK if you don't.

 

Here, some ad for this mode, from Ultra Violent Wednesday, made by the beloved Batpanda:

Best experience I've had with Siege so far, actually.

I hate to say it, but anyone who doesn't think it would be a perfect map for public servers is probably one of those guys too scared to get stuck into a fight- a k/d or MMR worry-puss. I do care about my score, but not at the expense of hiding away from the the fight ( = AA control area ), or only making sneaky vulture kills then running back to base to heal. 

 

Those kinda guys get on my nerves and only care about themselves/ their stats during the game and don;t care if the team suffers as a result. I always pile in the AA and too hell with being shy- get around, over, and inside that thing and kill ALL THE MECHS!

 

We do need a Seige training mode though, to try and get new players into the correct mind-set of how to play seige well, and win, by focusing where they need to be and when...

I think it would boil down to idiots not knowing when to leave the AA and just essentially dumping EU on the ground over and over.

 

Also yes, bunker siege is amazing and my favorite.  Maybe there is something to the eu/aa being in the same spot on small maps.  Maybe that's a good thing for siege.

I'd love to play it!  Bring it on.

 

My only reservation is wondering how enemies shooting into and camping the EU delivery pads and spawns is prevented.

 

As for Bazaar, on the other hand, having come from a long time where that was a normal part of the normal Siege rotation... YUCK.  Unless it was a total newb match, the outcome was determined before it even started.

 

I would also love to try Uptown, Facility and Prosk on Siege.  I'm sure there are "reasons" they disabled that a long time ago... but maybe it's worth revisiting.

 

Also, let me try Missile Assault on Prosk and Uptown.  same disclaimer as above.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke
