Me too, remove Cradle of Death entirely.
I’d get rid of the trucks all together , 2 Constructs per area. You don’t need trunks to damage the constructs.
It be Sythe of Amon style, remaining constructs and fortifications would get stronger as more are destroyed . It would also be flexible in the order you want to go about it.
I think you hit a good concept here, “The truck shouldn’t be needed”. And they should have built on this concept where if you bring the truck, it gets easier.
For example, as you said, each Construct could have higher iterations of a “shield ability” and possibly higher frequency to cast their damage abilities. And with the truck, this can be removed or reduced.
So that change alone would have still provided the “bring your truck” concept whilst not having the “invulnerable wall that gates you from progression” concept. It’s like they took a page out of the D2MedianXL book, and they ran with it like it was the next wheel invention.
Too bad nothing will change, and CoD will go down in history as the worst coop map ever created.
I never understood the hate for this map, certainly I don’t understand the insta quitting that a lot of players do when it comes up on random.
Well, how long does it take you to finish a CoD usually?
Just make new missions. They either turn out to be good. Or, they turn out to be bad, which’ll make CoD look good in comparison. As Stone put it, it’s a “win-win”.
That’s kind of the beauty of it… it’s rather fast since it’s timed, you can’t dilly dally. I have to admit, I take extra time on missions like Miner Exc., DoN, RtK, and Void Thrashing, mainly b/c I can.
Still waiting for a saint who can put Commanders into campaign missions…
Activision is supposedly a really big company right? Has anyone else noticed that they actually have very few projects going on?
I mean, we have Call of duty, World of Warcraft, and maybe Diablo 4. Makes me wonder where all their resources went that they cant even bugfix Han and Horner.
[shrug]… C-level bonuses?
I really wished they would still have brought Niadra, Tosh and Selendis.
And an optional Map Black List like in SC Remastered Versus.
Fix P3 Zagara!
