In the first one, EVERYONE AND I MEAN EVERYONE goes down there where the 75hp hpack is, and they all feed and die to junkrats ,reapers and moira orbs.
Petra on the other hand, is balanced. Players are to be found everywhere.Combat happens all over the map.

I am that Junkrat, Reaper, Moira, or Roadhog. I thought people would embrace Petra because I can’t just haunt a basement and get first place for it anymore but…

It’s a nice map. My only concern is how large it is. I believe they had mentioned altering ‘inactivity’ in it but idk if that has happened yet. I had trouble finding people for awhile cause it is so large and people were clustered together

I agree. The baguette map is not that great.

The map is too big for 8 people. They need to up it to 10 or 12.

It might be a bit slower paced but its still bettee than the insta death after spawn in the other map.

I despise Petra. From its color palette to how large it is for just 8 players.
I’m aware there’s a lot of work put there, and that it has a lot of merit, but that map makes me sad.

there are some high traffic zones like the purple-y cave lit room with the janky steps and the jump pad. and the ‘ultra snipe perch area’ overlooking the center zone, but i hate that spot… it feels a bit too restricting. i like wen ppl meet up for fragfests in the crumble room tho, which rarely happens too often
Cheateu is only bad in comp ffa, it was fine b4 imo. The problem is that everybody is trying to keep up with the high score and playing cautious dancing around the other sections of cheateu will get you placed outside the top 4. Having a great kdr is irrelevant, just go Reaper/Mccree and go 18/8/20 for easy wins.
I play McCree, but still everyone goes down there and they all die to bombs and orbs. I don’t like that. I like cautious gameplay,aimed shots and not stun fth combos.
oh yeah my one true gripe with this map are the occasional JANKY STAIR CASES strewn throughout … what a way to get murdered because you decided to approach the unbelievably inhospitable warped rockwall step-ups at such an angle and there was simply no time to come to a complete stop in order to fully reset and realign your position and direction which is mostly required in order for one to ascend upward without a hitch
Whenever I see Chateau pop up in Comp FFA I just sigh and hope it’s gonna be over soon. Ever since Petra this map seem so terrible to me because its the same heroes over and over again, sometime even three or four of them.
Petra is way more diverse and I’ve never had a problem finding combat at all so I don’t know where that afk kick comes from- now that you can hear combat from further away that shouldn’t be that much of a problem anymore?
Hot take: Both suck
The other deathmatch maps are all better
i like all deathmatch maps. i want them ALL. why cant we have castiel/darkwoods/necropolis etc etc… why cant we just have them all. even though some lend themselves better to frag for alls then others, i can put up with it (hollywood’s snipe fest-ation thats you). i just want a serious myriad of maps on rotation FOR GOOD… and ffs can we have a bit of stability to count on, i know its arcade and all, but eveyrtime the great wheel of (mode) change starts grinding, im always a bit apprehensive because the rollout is never quite a pleasant experience- the outcome is always either im happy one thing is gone and/or is replaced by a mode i enjoy, or annoyed that we have to trade a map rotation mode of free-for-all for a chatoo exclusive romp at gheeyo…
Petra is terrible. I constantly fall out of the leader board on that map because I will go two minutes and see a single person while constantly moving. Deathmatch shouldn’t be a game of hide and seek.

Petra is a lot fun with Sym and Tracer!
My success in Chateau is terrible unless I go Reaper
