Normandy invasion map is GARBAGE

This map from the US side is really going through hell. I got it, invasion in Normandy was really hell, especialy fot US side, but this is FPS multiplayer shooter.

There should not be so unbalanced map for one side. It is frustrating playing for US and getting invasion many times in a row. It is hell and makes me play rather for German side.
The map design is just so bad. When I try to sneaky go around, there is always MG or at least sniper taking you down. Also, HE shells are doing nothing. So u cant just aim in the bunker “window” and send them one nice HE thick boi. It is doing nothing, u have to direct hit the enemy with the shell. But HE shell is different story.
Just do something with the map, balanc it, or REMOVE IT COMPLETELY.
Or not? Change my mind.

Actually. There was always a plan on Asymmetrical gameplay, if you read back into the devblogs. It’s designed on purpose to be harder for the attackers to win to keep it interesting.

It’s obvious it’s a lie :rofl:
I hardly ever manage to have not-conquest more than 1 or 2 times per day.

We never had trouble with it in CBT.
In fact, the US won more often than not.

Definitely a learn-to-play issue.

The problem is when you get a team where people have more entire squads lost then have kills. Like 8 enemies killed, 10 squads lost. I keep seeing this happening

Some maps do bring out the lemming in players, yeah.
The mansion in Moscow is just as bad if not worse.

Probably by being the start of free OBT it’s just so many bad players.

The Normandy one for the Americans and the Assault ones. People just get completely mowed down because of basic FPS things like running in the open. Either you smash through the enemy or your entire team just stalls

“what do you mean we shouldn’t all run directly into a killzone without softening it up first?”

The mansion is even better because there’s 3 entire lanes of approach that never get used in favor of zerging the lower hallways

Lolol I see it over and over. It’s sad. The game follows normal FPS logic and people just cant figure it out. “What is a flank?”

Yep. That map is really annoing. But youn shoot those mg’s. Not guy using it but mg itself and it will be destroyed.

I asume you mean the D-Day map? As there are various invasion maps for Normandy.

You can succeed with this one in 6 easy steps:
1: Put sniper in any of your squads
2: Put engineer in any of your squads
3: Spawn and immediately hide behind your landing craft
4: Snipe out all MGs
5: Go far left or far right and build a respawn point
6: Profit

If you cannot perform these basic actions, it is sadly more likely for you to remove yourself from the game in the long run.

it’s not even harder to win, it’s easier because US has more reserve troops

It’s only easier to get kills as German

Literally number 2 on the list dont know how many times im the only guy putting up a spawn point on each capture zone

Definitely the new community sucking.

In CBT, everyone spammed spawn points. There are screenshots floating around of every other house having a spawn in it.

I got to the point in cbt where the first guy in all my squads was an engineer and my only job as the engineer was spawn in run to a point place spawn point if hes the last alive suicide bring in a fresh team and clear objective rinse repeat

In all seriousness, this is best example of learn to play issue.
US forces have a lot of ways how to get out of the beach, they have ways how to destroy MGs… and beach is supposed to be hard.

If defender team manages to hold them off on the first point, they deserve to win tbh.
It may sound very elitist, but with OBT there is also a flood of “bad” or just new players who have yet to learn.
Calling that map garbage doesn´t make any sense at all, just because you are not doing well on it. In fact, D day invasion is one of the best maps Enlisted have to offer.

Most of the time i am the best player in my team even on D-day map beacuse i use brain. Still i hate that map.

“I got to the point in cbt where the first guy in all my squads was an engineer and my only job as the engineer was spawn in run to a point place spawn point if hes the last alive suicide bring in a fresh team and clear objective rinse repeat”

Tremedous idea for thoses that have access to engineer… Wich means new player have to suffer without any way to adjust their spawn on this very very unforgiving map for the allied side.
You know the result ? disgruntled allied players and people not staying in the game because it gave them such a bad experience in the critical first few games.

I spawn in and immediately snipe all the MGs whether they are crewed or not. I agree it’s really not that hard. Getting a lobby of people who want to play the objective is much harder.
