A map update for Dead City, who cares, right? But the map we're all missing, Yamantau, is still missing. What is the hold up?

Yamamoto isn’t missing. He was shot down in 1943 and killed, although his body was recovered.
You might be thinking of Yamantau. The hold up there is that Pix only apparently has one part time map coder who is learning as they go.

If they can't get this map right we have no hope.

But the map we're all missing, Yamantau, Well, not all of us. Although on the other hand, it could be a map that limits the effectiveness of all the murometz and luchadors still in abundance.

Oh where, oh where has Yamantau gone? Oh where, oh where could it be? It’s cold and real big - — a sniper’s wet dream - Oh where, oh where could it be?

Here you go. I was a bit concerned about the YT Channel name, Muffin Songs**, but it’s kid-friendly. Phew! ** do NOT look that up in Dirty Urban Dictionary

Oh, but it isn't a prizma fest, young one ... correctly playing Yamantu requires much more strategy than many of the other maps. If I think about it, perhaps it is the most demanding of strategy.

It was a great map. I used to try to make it all the way along that long bridge in my Leo, without dying. Failed 9 times out of 10, but I loved it. Miss that map.
Thing is, with all the latest gear it will never be the same now anyway. The Khepris, Seraphs and Luchadors will ruin the holy territory.

Running decoys and getting in behind the reds spawn. Fun times.

Lets just hope they don't try to make it better by adding teleports. Scorpion & Revenant will make use of the flanks more interesting. Whereas it used to be possible to camp and own the centre beacon, that was before orbital strikes. Luchador is a bit fat ... I wonder if they've made the entrances to the centre beacon wide enough for it?

Good times...

I enjoyed trident barrages into masses of red mechs on center beacon when playing Yam. Good times.
It always seemed to me that players were more respondent to one another’s initiative when that map came up. ‘Oh, you’re moving on center beacon? I simply can’t allow you to go alone….’, while other blues had them covered as well.

As an early player I loved Yamantau! Had an easy trick to win most of the time and be first every time when King Of The Hill was around. Used a Trident Natasha w anything else on her, Tridents for splash or smack someone coming at me. OK, game starts, walk directly to side catwalk beacon B, wait to turn the beacon when it’s live, it then switches to other side of map while I saunter over back to Home Beacon C, wait, my turn again, flip it, saunter back C, rinse, repeat. Works on other side of the map, except obviously Beacon A to E….
Everybody else was killing each other at center, oblivious to the point of the mode. And I’m sure some thought I was hacking, I mean first place ZERO dmg or kills? I’m almost convinced they removed the mode because people didn’t understand it or just wanted to battle, it’s those same people that walk by beacons in Masters 1. & Low Champs, see it almost every day.
There were several matches where I didn’t fire a shot and took first….
I know it wouldn't work now, but this map could put a dent into Luchy, Lantern/Glitterbugs, etc because 600 m isn’t squat on the ‘tau. But tactically w Seraph, Telly Rev, Super Khep trains, orbital strikes, this could be a massive strategy/position map.
PS: Make Tridents great again!

I never played Yamantau, but I’d be fine with any new map in the rotation. I’d actually like a brand new map so everyone starts at the same level of knowledge. It is a clear advantage for the longer term players - every nook, every elevation advantage are known. You learn them over time for sure, but you can tell the folks who’ve played them thousands of times vs. tens or hundreds.

If Red had taken up residence at Center, Trident Falcon was great for working em over and driving them from cover. Not any more, but lots of other options. Also, I’m guessing that there will be some tPorter platforms ala The Abyss.

Yammer-time was a great map. With current meta, bots and mofo-ships, it might not be as fun.
Maybe add a few more barriers on way to middle beacon. And then scrap motherships, drones, endless shields and healing, the rolling nuts and let me friggin sell my friggin drone chips.

Getting a Rog onto the top of the covered walkway and raining down holy Orkans onto the reds... Ancilot rush, as mentioned above... Skulking along the sides towards red spawn hoping not to be noticed... Even dash bot super glides towards centre beacon.
Loved that map.
