So I played with a lot of other nice players like Meraple, Chickens, DerMax, etc. on Uptown. 

As Chickens already suspected, this is going to be a Gren-Match but OH DEAR.

 

'Splosives everywhere! Just shootin' and looking your score increasing. 

This match turned out to end in 40-13 or something like that. It was just as worse as it was funny and ridiculous.

 

So if you are playing on Uptown (TDM), you better pick a Grenadeer.

 

Now what are your experiences with Uptown? 

Share your stuff! :]

Was playing uptown on a three star server after work today. Both teams were _very_ good _and_ both packed a medic. It was more wait your turn with both sides on the chokepoints. Shooting mines, nades, pugs and what not into the choke points. Nobody really hit anything and most kills came when one sneaked up behind the enemy and tried to disband them a bit for the other team to come in. Overall it was kinda boring, it ended at 19:18 I believe.

Many mechs work well in uptown. I prefer Infiltrator personally for the 'nades in corridors approach. 

 

Nothing more satisfying than watching enemy mech pop like grapes under your greandes.

Literally spend half a game sat by the upper hallway just throwing bombs everywhere.

 

And then the berzerker decided to show up round the corner.

Probably the worst map in the game. Even Bunker is heaven compared to Uptown. Too many tight corridors and that one single chokepoint that tests everyone's patience. It takes too long to flank around that chokepoint as well. AND, emps flying around like its the 4th of july.

I find that whoever controls that central high ground area wins. Also the enemy tends to spawn in the low ground area if the enemy is in control of the high ground.

Uptown is my favorite. I like the tight corridors and intense chokepoint battles. But yeah, if nobody makes a move after a while, it can become tiresome.

My favorite map because it favors EOC and gives the middle finger to spacebar warriors.

Central high ground area is cake to take over with a 1/2 way compentant team. Just requires tenacity and pressure. Once you push them off the platform and down the ramp for repairs, start corner poking while the flank shows up. 

 

Alternately, you can have your team put pressure on the platform while a couple members boost around for the flank.. except you dont flank, you just put some blips on radar to make them think you are, and they start to disperse ranks based on the perceived threat. - and if they dont break, then flank them anyway and the next time you fake them out, they will think you're serious like last time. 

 

This works. Even when im on the team trying to hold the top platform, its hard to keep it up when you get approached from too many angles.

Grenadiers? I use my Hawkins Brawler in Uptown. I like to perch on the top of the multilevel ramp above the huge courtyard and keep everyone beneath me in cover. Or I jump on my Assault if I need the mobility.

I tried to explain that to someone yesterday ( take the high ground at the start of the match ) but he just replied with something about camping and leaving right now; he then went on to charge the other team solo every time he spawned and gave away the majority of the deaths on our team. I did try to point out his approach was a bad one ( politely- I was MVP at the time ), but he said no one else was trying to win, and rage quit. Sad really, some guys have no clue what teamwork or tactics are ( flanking ftw ).

 

I like to use the Predator and lay mines in the choke points or on the jump pads- easy kills on Uptown, and flanking doesn't take too long either, less than 30 secs to get from bottom to top around the long winding ramp...

Honestly it's probably one of my favorite maps in the game. The same things that most people complain about are what make it fun for me. Flak scout, infil, grenadier, vanguard, and orb lord zerker, (and of course incin and assault) are just fantastically fun to play on that map. The verticality and constant use of choke points really allows things to not be stale DPS battles all the time.

Maps like these, and perhaps Hawken in general, would probably benefit from some form of draft picks system.  Mined ewe, that would require access to a wider range of mechs for new players, a picks mechanism that would work with leavers and joiners (could be part of the garage system for that match), and perhaps to allow players to change mechs mid-match (again, could be handled as part of the garage system for that match).

There is (or was) a point at the back of your base In siege matches that would allow you to change mechs, but it was slow - you still had ten seconds where you were not in the match.

Most uptown tdm's are close games.

When I'm in uptown, if I go gren, I enjoy the matches most of the time.

 

I be waiting for dem noobs to group up, I hit F, and I go "CLOSE YO EYES GIIIIIIIIIIIIIRL" ... and then "SPLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH" !!!

Yeah, that's why sneaking up there in a Manguard with your enemy totally unaware yields hilarious results. Lol, I swear too many people let me sneak up on them.
