THAT GATTLING GUN DOE

GIMMEGIMMEGIMMEGIMME

[xpo20]

This feels a bit... Too fresh. Can't wait for Gatling gun, but the bucket interests me.

[ChaosYoshi]

Just started ranked matches and so far I've only lost 3 rounds out of the 10 or so I played. So far it's only been Tower Control, but I'd like to play the Splat Zones mode soon.

[Harmless]

How do you select tower control anyhow? I've only been able to play splat zones (which are unfortunately my least favorite mode so far, rounds go by way too quickly and are almost always offense-based).

[ChaosYoshi]

As far as I know, it all depends on what the selected maps are. I'll look at the menu just in case there's a toggle, but the only maps that I've played on were Tower Control.

The mode changes with the map rotation

[tnt175]

Like Megar said, it change with the stage rotation, not the stages themselves. And from what I heard, they try to make the mode occur in every time period possible.

Also, I heard that the big update for the game is coming the 5th of August (friends lobby included!). Urchin Underpass will also be closed between the 2nd and the 5th.

BTW, how do you like the stages so far?

Urchin Underpass : Fun in TW and SZ, but annoying in TC
Saltspray Rig : Fun in TW, meh in SZ and I didn't experience TC
Walleye Warehouse : Fun in all 3 modes.
Arowana Mall : TC can be fun, SZ is highly annoying and I didn't experience TW much.
Blackbelly Skatepark : Meh when it comes to TW and TC, and very difficult in SZ.
Port Mackerel : Meh in TW, horrible in SZ and TC.
Kelp Dome : Fun in TW, meh in TC, didn't get SZ yet.
Bluefin Depot : A little fun but hard in TW and TC, didn't play SZ yet.
Moray Towers : A little fun in TW, didn't play SW or TC yet.
Camp Triggerfish : Fun in TC, didn't play TW or SW.

I'll be speaking on maps based on overall map design (though modes will be mentioned too; note I've never played tower control before)

From least favorite to most favorite map

Moray Towers: ughughughugh, not really that fun considering how linear the map is. To make matters worse, chargers dominate the map very easily unless if a roller bypasses the enemy. It's very difficult to beat a good charger on this map, because there's not a lot of options to flank them with. On the bright side, I enjoy it more in Splat Zones considering there's two zones, and chargers end up dominating less due to the different objective.

Port Mackerel: It's actually alright, though the trucks in the level annoy me (and get me killed) from time to time. Also very narrow and hard to beat a good charger on this map (unless you get them out in the open). Good for rollouts though.

Camp Triggerfish: As it just came out, I've only played it a few times. From what I've played though, it does seem like the teams just go around in circles as opposed to confronting eachother. Most of the times I would confront less than 3 enemies on this map just because of how much of a circle this map can be.

Urchin Underpass: Meh, it's alright. It can get fun and trying to take the middle can get pretty hectic, but once a team takes the middle ground they're practically won. Those chokeholds are nasty.

Kelp Dome: It's a fun map, though the one-way pathways are a little eh. The middle is very wide too. Always felt like a smaller map to me, when in reality it's pretty big.

Bluefin Depot: The map's fun, it's got a good layout, and defending your base turf helps with the higher altitude. The split in the middle is a little eh though, but it's definitely one of my more favorite maps to place sprinklers on.

Arowana Mall: It gets hectic and fun in turf war, and very, VERY one-sided in splat zones.

Saltspray Rig: One of my more favorite maps, it's got a really neat layout you don't see in the other maps, having three middle grounds and the spawn being towards the bottom.

Walleye Warehouse: Lots of fun. It's open, it's got good cover at the same time, and there's a lot of ways to approach this map.

Blackbelly Skatepark: My favorite. It's perfect for CQC and the slopes throw an interesting twist and lots of ways to approach this map. Long range also helps on this map, but it's the map where I feel like the ranges are balanced the most. Splat zones is also a lot of fun on this map, surprisingly.

New Splatfest coming

What do you like to roast on a camp fire the most? Marshmallows or hot dog sausages?

Marshmallow all the way.

BTW, it seems levelling up from 20 to 50 will be different.

You won't receive exp for covering turf or completing objectives. You get exp from winning and having atleast 400p.
