//Bunker needs an actual bunker// yea. i kind wished bunker is what its title suggests, something like the store room for all the mechs, indoors, very tall ceilings, moderately lit. The only thing i hate about bunker is the snow background. it hurts my eyes everytime when i'm playing in the dark.. It also spends more electricity on the monitor. If devs could tune down the brightness it would be great.
aside from vain wishes, i never had a problem with how bunker is designed. Even the amount of covers:
1. all the outskirts the goes down a slope, skillfires just cannot reach you. if they do, you probably have to adjust on how far out you want to stay in the open. Your cover is a huge circular trench around the map, which is everywhere.
2. the whole map has many bumps and little hills, they are your covers.
3. the 3 missle silos
4. you tank teammates, lol. Duck behind them.
Sharpshooters dont really excel at Bunker as much as in Bazzar because Bunker is much smaller and snipers are very easy to spot and reach.Like op said, it's the other end of the spectrum vs uptown. it provides a variety of landscape. What successful players do is adapt to it.
this comes from a non-skillfire / SS player
