Also, it's nowhere near as powerful as a conc. Right now you can just about clear the SD2 midmap from a pad at front door. (where as a conc takes you straight to balcony).
Answering your questions: A scout gets 1. It takes ~ 1 sec to build. It's about the same base size as a SG but only chest height. It self destructs on a timer. It's invincible to enemy fire. Enemies can use it. You can't det it. (the pad will be the subject to this weekends beta test so this could change!) |
Okay. That sounds absolutely amazing. It'll make a diverse O a lot more viable for once.
But, what about jump pad used with a conc? Will that ruin some maps (cong, session is what I'm thinking; it'll make them even more O sided)?
