Nah, I re-enabled them on all the close combat maps since it adds additional tactics, plus each problem can be countered by the other quite easily.

They've been in build for quite a while. GloboTech EMP Patriot Missile Batteries.

Good stuff, I hate mapping right about now cause of how long it took me to finalize the difficulty and possibility levels on Nod Challenge 01...

Well, looks artificial Very Happy

Looks like a great map for a fast-paced online-game Smile

It's inspired by Generals' popular map Tournament Island. I wanted to have such simple yet efficient design in TI as well.

Map updated. They say third time's the charm.

Personally, I dislike the fact that the Cranes with the Tiberium Vinefera have dissappeared.

However, I also believe it is an overall improvement, the map being now perfectly symmetrical.

I didn't like the way they connected to the base platforms, and I couldn't leave them without a land connection as otherwise GDI would have had an advantage. They also diverted focus away from the main platform.

I always liked that part because the old Tournament Platform was one of the few rare maps in TI (and even C&C in general) where you had the possibility to expand to the rear, which some players may prefer.

That does not mean that expanding to the rear is generally a good option - but I'd like to see a bunch of maps in TI where that option at least exists since that number is dreadfully low right now. I counted a few 2 Player maps, though in those maps these rear outposts are generally on or near a flanking route (Tiers of Sorrow II for example), and there is also the 6-player map ...And a Hard Place (though lol @ destructable bridges there especially if Superweapons are disabled).

There is also no map with a construction outpost w/o Tiberium fields near it (in other words, just existing to provide a tactical advantage - possibly at a choke point that leads to the rear entrance of your base?)
